Washer leaks

Is the sink or drain clogged?

Sink, floor drain and standpipe must be able to handle 17 gal. (64 L) of water per minute.

Is water bouncing off the tub ring or the load?

The wash load should be balanced and not overloaded. If not, the fill or spray rinses can bounce off the load.

The washer must be level. The front and rear feet should be properly installed and the nuts tightened. Reset the self- adjusting rear feet if needed. See "Installation Instructions."

Was a cycle interrupted and then the CATALYST e Cleaning Action selected?

The CATALYST® Cleaning Action should be started on a dry load only. The CATALYST® Cleaning Action should not be selected after the tub has started filling with water.

Did you select the CATALYST e Cleaning Action and use a hand-washing detergent?

Most detergents formulated for hand-washing are not meant for the CATALYST" Cleaning Action. Use the Handwash cycle and appropriate speed select setting if using a hand-wash detergent.

Check household plumbing for leaks.

Dispensers clogged or leaking

Are the laundry products in the correct dispenser? Add the correct amounts of detergent (powder or liquid), liquid chlorine bleach, or fabric softener to the correct dispenser. You can add powder or liquid color-safe bleach to the detergent dispenser. Be sure to match powdered

color-safe bleach with powdered detergent or match liquid color-safe bleach with liquid detergent. Use only liquid chlorine bleach in the bleach dispenser.

Did you use a cold rinse?

Cold rinses leave loads wetter than warm rinses. This is normal.

Residue or lint on load

Did you add detergent to the dispenser?

For best results, use the dispenser to dissolve the detergent.

Did you sort properly?

Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy, synthetics). Also sort by color.

Did you overload the washer?

The wash load must be balanced. See "Starting Your Washer" for maximum load size. Lint can be trapped in the load if overloaded. Wash smaller loads.

Was paper or tissue left in pockets?

Did you use enough detergent?

Follow manufacturer's directions. Use enough detergent to hold the lint in the water.

Is your water colder than 70°F (21°0)?

Wash water colder than 70°F (21°C) may not completely dissolve the detergent.

Are you using a gentle wash cycle?

Consider using liquid detergent for slow speed settings such as Handwash Casual or Delicate.

Did you add detergent to the dispenser?

For best results, use the dispenser to dissolve the detergent.

Did you use enough detergent?

Use enough detergent to remove soil and hold it in suspension. Add the manufacturer's recommended amounts.

Did you unload the washer promptly?

To avoid dye transfer, unload the washer as soon as it stops.

Did you use powder detergent in a low speed cycle? Consider using liquid detergent.

Did you add detergent, chlorine bleach or fabric softener too late in the cycle?
