Problem
Cause
Rinse/Spin
No water flows into
the appliance during
the rinsing process.
Before rinsing, the appliance spins to drain out remaining
-
water. The water will fill up after that.
Rinsing begins
before the spin
process finishes.
The appliance may have detected an unbalanced load,
-
which is caused by the laundry shifting to one side of
the drum, so rinsing started automatically to correct the
imbalance.
After washing, excess foam may remain, so the water is
-
drained out and refilled to wash it away. This feature is
called foam detection.
During spin-dry,
the drum stops and
rotates several times.
This is normal; the appliance has detected an unbalanced
-
load and is trying to correct it.
Foam and water
remain in the door or
door seal.
Although some foam and water might remain depending
-
upon the state of the laundry and the amount of detergent
used, the performance of the rinse cycle is unaffected.
Spin cycle repeatedly
starts and stops.
This is normal; intermittent spinning of the tub helps the
-
spin process to operate quietly.
The laundry may be too light. If so, add one or two bath
-
towels.
Time
The displayed
remaining time
changes.
The remaining time is estimated and corrected continually.
-
Thus, the time displayed may change.
The remaining time increases if an extra rinsing and
-
spinning are required to correct an unbalanced load, which
is caused by the laundry shifting to one side of the drum.
