Normal washer operation. Lid must be closed for washer to run.

Add only one or two additional items after washer has started.

Washer not draining/
spinning; loads are
still wet
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.
Using cycles with a lower spin speed. Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles
with high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/speed spin
for your item.
Washer may be tightly packed or
unbalanced.
Tightly packed loads may not allow the washer to spin correctly,
leaving the load wetter than normal. Evenly arrange the wet load
for balanced spinning. Select RINSE & SPIN to remove excess
water. See “Using Your Washer” for loading recommendations.
