WASHER TROUBLESHOOTING

First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid the cost of a service call...

Washer and Components

Noisy

Is the load balanced and the washer/dryer level? The wash 
load should be balanced and not overloaded. The washer/
dryer must be level. The front feet should be properly installed 
and the nuts tightened. Reset the rear leveling legs (if needed). 
See the Installation Instructions.

Did you completely remove the yellow shipping strap with 
cotter pins?
 See the Installation Instructions.

Are the gears engaging after the drain and before spin, or 
is the upper part of agitator clicking during wash?
 These 
are normal washer noises.

Leaking

Check the following: 

Are the fill hoses tight? 

Are the fill hose washers properly seated? 

Is the drain hose clamp properly installed? See the Installation 
Instructions.

Is the sink or drain clogged? Sink and standpipe must be 
able to handle 17 gal. (64 L) of water per minute.

Is water deflecting off the tub ring or the load? Center the 
tub before starting the washer. The wash load should be 
balanced and not overloaded. The fill or spray rinses can 
deflect off the load. The washer/dryer must be level. Ensure 
that the leveling legs are properly installed. See the Installation 
Instructions.

Check household plumbing for leaks. 

Basket crooked

Was the washer basket pulled forward during loading? 
Push the basket to the center before starting wash.

Is the load balanced and the washer/dryer level? The wash 
load should be balanced and not overloaded. The washer/
dryer must be level. Ensure that the leveling legs are properly 
installed. See the Installation Instructions. 

The washer basket moves while washing. This is normal.

Agitator operation

The top of the agitator is loose, or moves in only one 
direction.
 This is normal.

Dispenser clogged (on some models)

Did you follow the manufacturer’s directions when adding  
fabric softener to the dispenser (on some models)?
 
Measure fabric softener and carefully pour into the dispenser. 
Wipe up all spills. Dilute fabric softener in the fabric softener 
dispenser.

Washer Operation

Washer stops, won’t fill, rinse or agitate

Check the following: 

Is the power cord plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet?

Is the indicator on the Cycle Control knob properly lined up 
with a cycle? Turn the Cycle Control knob to the right slightly 
and pull to start.

Are the water inlet valve screens clogged?

Are both the hot and cold water faucets turned on?

Is the water inlet hose kinked?

Does the water level seem too low, or does the washer 
appear to not fill completely?
 The top of the agitator is much 
higher than the highest water level. This is normal and 
necessary for clothes to move freely. 

Is there power at the plug? Check your electrical source or 
call an electrician.

Has a fuse blown or is the circuit breaker open? If problem 
continues, call an electrician.

Are you using an extension cord? Do not use an extension 
cord.

Is the washer in a normal pause in the cycle? The washer 
pauses for about 2 minutes during certain cycles. Allow the 
cycle to continue. Some cycles feature periods of agitation 
and soak. 

Is the washer overloaded? Wash smaller loads.

Is the lid open? The lid must be closed during operation. 
Washer will not agitate or spin with the lid open.

Washer won’t drain or spin

Is the drain hose clogged, or the end of the drain hose 
more than 96 in. (244 cm) above the floor?
 See the 
Installation Instructions for proper installation of drain hose.

Is the lid open? The lid must be closed during operation. 
Washer will not agitate or spin with the lid open. 

Is there excessive sudsing? Always measure detergent. 
Follow manufacturer’s directions. If you have very soft water, 
you may need to use less detergent.

Is your voltage low? Check your electrical source or call an 
electrician. Do not use an extension cord.

Washer continues to fill or drain, cycle seems stuck

Is the top of drain hose lower than the water level in 
washer?
 The top of the hose must be higher than the water 
level in the washer for proper operation. See the Installation 
Instructions.

Does the drain hose fit too tightly in the standpipe, or is it 
taped to the standpipe?
 The drain hose should be loose yet 
fit securely. Do not seal the drain hose with tape. The hose 
needs an air gap. See the Installation Instructions.
