WasherOperation

Noisy

Is the load balanced and the washer level? The wash load should be balanced and not overloaded. The washer 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 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.

Check household plumbing for leaks.

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.

Dispensers clogged or bleach leaking

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

Did you put powdered or color-safe bleach in the liquid chlorine bleach dispenser (on some models)? Add powdered or liquid color-safe bleach directly to the basket. Do not use the chlorine bleach dispenser for color-safe bleach.

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.
