PROBLEM		POSSIBLE		CAUSE AND REMEDY
WATER WON’T		c Make sure drain hose is not kinked.
DRAIN		● Top of drain outlet should be less than 8 ft. above floor.

WATER LEAKS		● Make sure hose connections are tight at faucets.
		● Make sure end of drain hose is correctly inserted in and secured to drain facility.
WASHER	IS NOISY	● Make sure washer is level and firm to the floor with rubber foot pads in place and
		front jam nuts tight. See your Installation Instructions.
		● A sharp distinctive sound will be heard at the end of each spin period as the motor
		stops and the spin brake inside the transmission “locks in? This sound is normal.
		● Heavily unbalanced loads can cause the washer to vibrate excessively during spin,
		and may cause it to move from its original position. In extreme cases, (usually occurs
		when washing a single, heavy item or a small load when water level is set higher than
		necessary) the spin basket may strike the outer tub, creating a loud but harmless noise.
		To correct, open the lid and redistribute the load evenly about the wash basket. Close
		the lid and		restart.
WASHER	PAUSES	● Washer	normally pauses between washing steps. . . such as between wash and spin or
IN CYCLE		between	spin and rinse.
