more information.
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.
Not using HE detergent or using
too much HE detergent.
Suds from regular detergent or using too much detergent can
slow or stop draining or spinning. Use only HE detergent. Always
measure and follow detergent directions for your load. To remove
extra suds, select RINSE. Do not add detergent.
Incorrect or wrong wash
or rinse temperatures
Check for proper water supply. For permanent installations, make sure that hot and cold inlet
hoses are not reversed. For portable installations, adjust water
temperature at faucet.
For permanent installations, both hoses must be attached to
both washer and faucet, and have both hot and cold water
flowing to inlet valve.
Check that inlet valve screens are not clogged.
Remove any kinks in hoses.
Load not rinsed Check for proper water supply. For permanent installations, make sure hot and cold inlet hoses

too fast for load.
Select a cycle with a slower wash action and slower spin speed.
Note that items will be wetter than when using a higher speed spin.
