TROUBLESHOOTING

TROUBLESHOOTING

The appliance is equipped with an automatic error-monitoring system to detect and diagnose problems at 

an early stage. If the appliance does not function properly or does not function at all, check the following 

before you call for service.

Washer

FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions

Error Messages

Q:

Why does my washer make loud banging noises while it is filling with water?

A:

This is actually a problem with the plumbing in your home. When the water valve in the washer shuts 

off, it can cause pipes in your home to move, resulting in a loud banging noise. This effect, called 

water hammer, can be reduced by installing an item called a water hammer arrestor. Add-on 

arrestors can be purchased through your local hardware or home improvement store.

Q:

Why is there so little water in my washer? How can it clean the clothes?

A:

HE (High-Efficiency) washers are designed to properly wash your laundry while using a minimum 

amount of water and energy. Because the water volume is low, the small amount of detergent used is 

more concentrated in the water, resulting in excellent cleaning performance.

Q:

When I press a button, why does my washer beep and then nothing happens?

A:

The 

Control Lock

 feature is turned on. To turn it off, turn on the washer, then press and hold the 

button that has 

Control Lock

 on or under it for 

3 seconds

.

Q:

Where should I pour the powdered laundry products when doing my laundry?

A:

If you are using powdered laundry detergent, load it in the main detergent dispenser after removing 

the liquid detergent insert. Powdered laundry agents or powdered color safe bleach should be put 

directly into the drum. These products can be put in the empty drum before loading or on top of the 

laundry after loading the washer.

Problem

Possible Cause & Solution

IE

INLET ERROR

Water supply faucets are not fully open.

• Make sure that the water faucets are fully open.

Water inlet hoses are kinked, pinched, or crushed.

• Make sure that the hoses are not kinked, pinched or crushed behind or under the washer. 

Be careful when moving the washer during cleaning or maintenance.

Water inlet filters are clogged.

• Clean the inlet filters. See 

MAINTENANCE

.

Water supply pressure to faucet or house is too low.

• Check another faucet in the house to make sure that household water pressure is 

adequate and flow is not restricted.

• Disconnect the water inlet hoses from the washer and run a few gallons of water through 

the hoses to flush out any dirt.

• If flow is too low, contact a plumber to have the water supply lines repaired.

Water supply connected with leak-limiting hoses.

• The use of hoses designed to limit leaks is not recommended. Leak limiting hoses can trip 

falsely and prevent the washer from filling.
