Leaks Water

•  Make sure hose connections are tight.
•  Make sure end of drain hose is correctly inserted and secured to drain facility.
• Check hose to storage tank.
•  Avoid extended soaking – soak for 30 minutes or less.
• Avoid overloading.

Is Noisy

•  Be sure washer is leveled properly as outlined in installation manual.
•  Weak floors can cause vibration and walking.
• Be sure rubber feet are installed on leveling legs.
• A noise is heard when water starts to drain into the storage tub and when it is returned to the washer. This is

normal.

• A clicking sound may be the LoadSensor™ agitator as it moves the load down through the cleaning zone for

maximum cleaning effectivness. This sound will vary from load to load. This is normal.

• Operating sounds will vary depending on agitation speed.

Fills with the Wrong Temperature Water

•  Turn both faucets on fully.
•  If equipped with a temperature selector knob, be sure it is set directly on a temperature setting and not

between settings.

•  Make sure temperature selection is correct.
•  Make sure hoses are connected to correct faucets and inlet connections.  Be sure water supply is regulated cor-

rectly.  Flush water line before filling washer.

•  Check the water heater.  It should be set to deliver a minimum 120°F (49°C) hot water at the tap.  Also check

water heater capacity and recovery rate.

•  Disconnect hoses and clean screens.  Hose filter screens may be plugged.
• Water used from previous loads will be cooler. Select “Hot” for the added water to help maintain desired tem-

perature.
