Re-select cycle and press START. If the problem remains, call for service.

Is the power cord plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet? Is the washer door firmly shut?

Is your voltage low?

Check electrical source or call electrician. Do not use an extension cord.

Is the load balanced?

A single or bulky item may cause imbalance. Add more items or redistribute the load.

Washer makes noise or vibrates

Is the washer level?

The washer must be level. The four feet should be properly installed, and the nuts should be tightened against the washer cabinet.

As water is drained from the washer, you may hear air being pulled through the pump. This happens during the end of draining. It is normal.

Are you washing items with metal snaps, buckles or zippers?

You may hear metal items touching the washer drum. This is normal.

Is washer installed on a sturdy and solid floor? Refer to the "Installation Instructions" for flooring requirements. Noise and vibration may be reduced by placing a piece of 3Ain. (19.1 mm) plywood underneath your washer. The plywood may extend underneath both washer and dryer to keep them at equal heights.

Dispensers clogged or leaking

Are the laundry products in the correct dispenser compartment?

Add the correct amounts of detergent, fabric softener or liquid chlorine bleach to the correct compartments. Add powdered or color-safe bleach to the Main Wash compartment. Be sure to match powdered color-safe bleach with powdered detergent or match liquid color-safe bleach with liquid detergent.

Is the detergent separator in the correct position? Separator should be in the front position when using liquid detergent and in the back position when using powdered detergent.
