Possible Causes
Solution
Washer not level.
Water may splash off basket if washer is not level.
Fill hoses not attached tightly.
Tighten fill-hose connection.
Make sure all four fill hose flat washers are properly seated.
Drain hose connection
Pull drain hose from washer cabinet and properly secure it to
drainpipe or laundry tub.
Check household plumbing for leaks
or clogged sink or drain.
Water can back up out of a clogged sink or drainpipe. Check
all household plumbing for leaks (laundry tubs, drain pipe,
water pipes, and faucets.)
Fill hose washers
Check the following for
proper installation:
Unbalanced loading can cause basket to be out of alignment
and cause water to splash off tub. See “Using Your Washer”
for loading instructions.
Washer not loaded properly.
Not enough water
in washer
Load not completely covered
in water.
This is normal operation for an HE low-water washer. The load will
not be completely underwater. The washer senses load sizes and
adds correct amount of water for optimal cleaning. See “What’s
New under the Lid.”
IMPORTANT:
Do not add more water to washer. The added water
lifts the load off the washplate, resulting in less cleaning.
Water Leaks
Washer not performing as expected
Washer won’t run
or fill, washer stops
working or wash light
remains on (indicating
that the washer
was unable to fill
appropriately)
Check for proper water supply.
Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to
inlet valve.
Both hot and cold water faucets must be turned on.
Check that inlet valve screens have not become clogged.
Check for any kinks in inlet hoses, which can restrict water flow.
