Fault Checklist
Problem
Cause
Rinse/Spin
No water flows into
the appliance during
the rinse 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 may remain depending
upon the state of the laundry and the amount of detergent
used, rinse performance is unaffected.
The spin process
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 extra rinsing and spinning
are required to correct an unbalanced load, which is
caused by the laundry shifting to one side of the drum.
