Washer not performing as expected (cont.)
Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to the inlet
valve.
Both hot and cold water faucets must be on.
Inlet valve screens on washer may be clogged.
Remove any kinks in the inlet hose.
Not using HE detergent or using too
much HE detergent.
The suds from regular detergent can keep washer from
operating correctly.
Use only HE detergent. Be sure to measure correctly.
Always measure detergent and follow detergent directions based
on load size and soil level.
Washer not loaded as recommended. The washer is less efficient at rinsing when tightly packed.
Load items in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. The washer
will not rinse well if tightly packed. Load with dry items only.
Use cycle designed for the fabrics being washed.
Add only 1 or 2 items after washer has started.
Using a cycle with a low spin speed. Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles with
high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/spin speed for your
item. To remove extra water in the load, select Drain & Spin. Load
may need to be rearranged to allow even distribution of the load in
the basket.
The washer may be tightly packed or
unbalanced.
Small items may have been caught in pump or between basket and
tub, which can slow draining.
Empty pockets and use garment bags for
small items.
Tightly packed or unbalanced loads may not allow the washer to
spin correctly, leaving the load wetter than normal. Evenly arrange
the wet load for balanced spinning. Select the Drain & Spin cycle
to remove excess water. See “Using Your Washer” for loading
recommendations.
Washer not draining/
spinning, loads are still
wet, or spin light remains
on (indicating that the
washer was unable to
pump out water within
10 minutes).
Check plumbing for correct
drain hose installation. Drain hose
extends into standpipe farther than
4.5" (114 mm).
Check drain hose for proper installation. Use drain hose form
and securely attach to drainpipe or tub. Do not tape over drain
opening. Lower drain hose if the end is higher than 96" (2.4 m)
above the floor. Remove any clogs from drain hose.
Too much detergent causing suds to
slow or stop draining and spinning.
Use only HE detergent. Always measure and follow detergent
directions for your load. To remove extra suds, select Rinse & Spin.
Do not add detergent.
The high spin speeds combined with air flow during the final spin
can cause items near the top of the load to develop dry spots
during the final spin. This is normal.
High speed spins extract more
moisture than traditional top-load
washers.
Dry spots on load
after cycle.
