TROUBLESHOOTING

Before calling for service, check these:

Is the lid closed?

▼

Is the Cycle Control Knob set and pulled out?

▼

Is the power cord firmly plugged into a live outlet with proper voltage?

▼

Have you blown a household fuse or tripped a circuit breaker?

▼

Are both the hot and cold water faucets turned on?

▼

Are the water hoses kinked or clogged?

▼

Is the drain hose higher than the water level in the washer? It must be higher for proper operation.

▼

Is the washer making noises (see page 9), or vibrating?

Is the wash load properly distributed around the agitator?

NOTE: Washer stops briefly during a wash cycle. These pauses are normal.

If none of these items was causing your problem, see “Requesting Assistance or Service” on page 22.
