Possible Causes

Solution

Washer not performing as expected (cont.)

Washer won’t run or fill, 

washer stops working, 

or wash light remains 

on (indicating that the 

washer was unable to fill 

appropriately) (cont.)

Check proper electrical supply.

Plug into a grounded outlet or reconnect power.

Do not use an extension cord.
Ensure there is power to outlet.  
Reset a tripped circuit breaker. Replace any blown fuses.

NOTE:

 If problems continue, contact an electrician.

Normal washer operation.

Lid must be closed for washer to run.
Washer will pause during certain phases of cycle. Do not  

interrupt cycle.

Washer may be tightly packed.

Remove several items and rearrange load evenly in basket. Close lid 

and press the START/PAUSE button.
Do not add more than one or two additional items after cycle has 

started to avoid tightly packing or unbalancing. 
Do not add more water to the washer.

Washer not draining/ 

spinning, loads are still 

wet, or spin light remains 

on (indicating that the 

washer was unable to 

pump out water within 

10 minutes)

Small items may have been 

caught in pump or between 

basket and tub, which can  

slow draining.

Empty pockets and use garment bags for small items.

Used a cycle with a low spin 

speed.

Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles  

with high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/spin speed for 

your garment. To remove extra water in the load, select Drain & Spin. 

Load may need to be rearranged to allow even distribution of the load  

in the basket.

The washer may be tightly 

packed or unbalanced.

Tightly packing or unbalanced loads will not allow the washer to spin 

correctly, leaving the load wetter than normal. Evenly arrange the wet 

load for balanced spinning. Select the Drain & Spin cycle to remove 

excess water. See “Using Your Washer” for loading recommendations.

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.

Too much detergent causing 

suds to slow or stop draining 

and spinning.

Always measure and follow detergent directions for your load.  

To remove extra suds, select Quick Wash. Do not add detergent. 

Water level seems  

too low, or the washer  

appears 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.
