Troubleshooting Tips...
Before you call for service
Problem Possible Causes What To Do
Small amount of water
remaining in dispenser
(on some models) at
end of cycle
Normal dispenser
operation
It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in dispenser after
the cycle.
Short spray and
delay after pushing
the Start button
Lid was opened and
closed between cycle
selection and start
This is normal. See START-UP SEQUENCE in the Safety
Instructions section.
Water level seems
low
This is normal Water may not cover the top level of the clothes. This is normal for
this high efficiency washer.
Low water flow Water valve screens are
stopped up
Turn off the water source and remove the water connection hoses
from the upper back of the washer and the water faucets. Clean
both the hose screens (if so equipped) and the screens in the
machine using a brush or a toothpick. Reconnect the hoses and
turn the water back on. Check to ensure there are no leaks at the
connections.
Water siphoning out
of washer
Drain standpipe is too
low or hose too far into
standpipe
The drain hose must exceed 30” height at some point between
the washer back and the drain pipe. Use anti-siphon clip. See
the
Installation Instructions
.
Too many suds Soft water Try less detergent.
Too much detergent Measure your detergent carefully. Use less soap if you have soft
water, a smaller load or a lightly soiled load.
Type of detergent Switch to High Efficiency detergent such as Tide HE Turbo™.
Water leaks Type of detergent Switch to High Efficiency detergent such as Tide HE Turbo™.
Using too much
detergent in washer
Use less detergent. Use less soap if you have soft water, a smaller

washers are installed. Make sure end of drain hose is correctly
inserted in and secured to drain facility.

Make sure drain hose does not make contact with the wall. May
cause excessive wear on the hose.
Constant water pressure
to fill hoses at water
source
Tighten hoses at the faucets.
Check condition of the fill hoses; they should be replaced every 5
years.
Water temperature
seems incorrect
Cooler water
temperatures provide
improved energy
efficiency
New laundry detergents have been formulated to work with cooler
water temperatures without affecting wash performance.

are connected to correct faucets.

machine using a brush or a toothpick. Reconnect the hoses and
turn the water back on. Check to ensure there are no leaks at the
connections.
Cool/Cold Water when

models) and optimizes for best results. Cold water is added
periodically when hot is selected.
House water heater is
not set properly
Make sure house water heater is delivering water at
120°F–140°F (48°C–60°C).
Water pumped
out before cycle is
complete
