Lr_. "uL" (Unbalanced Load)

If the load is unbalanced, the washer will display this code while running an imbalanced load correction routine at the end of the wash cycle and before the final spin. If the code remains and the wash cycle dial is flashing after the recovery routine has stopped, open lid and redistribute the load. Close lid and press START.

NOTE: For best performance, load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall. Do not load above the stainless steel portion of the basket.

_L "oL" (Over Load)

Is the washer overloaded? The washer has attempted to fill and begin the wash cycle. If the washer is overloaded, it will drain any water and detergent that was added during the fill. To correct the overload, remove several items and add detergent. Close lid and press START.

_ "Sd" (Suds Detected)

Did you use regular detergent?

Regular or hand-washing detergents are not recommended for this washer. Use only High Efficiency ("HE") detergent.

Did you add too much detergent?

Always measure detergent. Follow detergent manufacturer's directions. Remember, concentrated detergents such as 2x or higher will use less detergent based on load size.

If excessive suds are detected, the washer will display this code while running a suds reduction correction routine at the end of the wash cycle. The suds reduction routine removes extra suds and assures proper rinsing of your garments. If the code remains and the wash cycle dial is flashing after the recovery routine has stopped, re-select your desired cycle using cold water. Press START. Do not add detergent.

t _ "lid" (Lid Opened)

Is the lid open? Close the lid to clear the display. If the lid remains open for more than 10 minutes, water in the wash tub will drain.

Noisy, vibrating, off-balance

Is the washer level? Does the washer rock when pushed against the corners?

The washer must be level. The front and rear feet must be in firm contact with the floor. Check that the Iocknuts are

tightened. See "Level the Washer."

Is the floor flexing, sagging or not level?

Flooring that flexes or is uneven can contribute to noise and vibration of the washer. A 3/4" (1.9 cm) piece of plywood under the washer will reduce the sounds. See "Location Requirements."

Did you load the washer as recommended?

For best performance, load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall. Do not load above the stainless steel

portion of the basket.

Is the load balanced?

Evenly distribute the load in the washer basket and make sure the height of the load does not exceed the top of the stainless steel portion of the basket. See "Starting Your Washer."

Do you hear clicking or other noises when the cycle changes from washing to draining or spinning?

When the drive system shifts or the washer basket settles between cycles you may hear noises that are different from your previous washer. These are normal washer noises.

Is the washer gurgling or humming?

When the washer drains, the pump will make a continuous humming with periodic gurgling or surging sounds as the final amounts of water are removed. This is normal.

Are you washing a small load?

You will hear more splashing sounds when washing small loads. This is normal.

The washer basket moves while washing. This is normal.

Can you hear water spraying? This is part of the wash action.

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

You may hear metal items touching the basket. This is normal.
