Dispensers clogged or leaking

Be sure to match powdered color-safe bleach with powdered detergent or match liquid color-safe bleach with liquid detergent.

A single or bulky item may cause imbalance. Add more items

or redistribute the load.

Washer makes noise or vibrates

•

Is the detergent separator in the correct position?

Separator should be in the front position when using liquid

detergent and in the back position when using powdered detergent.

Is the washer level?

The washer must be level. The four feet should be properly installed, and the nuts should be tightened against the washer cabinet.

As water is drained from the washer, you may hear air being pulled through the pump. This happens during the end of draining. It is normal.

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

You may hear metal items touching the washer drum. This is normal.

Is washer installed on a sturdy and solid floor?

Refer to the "Installation Instructions" for flooring requirements. Noise and vibration may be reduced by placing

a piece of 3A" (19.1 mm) plywood underneath your washer. The plywood may extend underneath both washer and dryer to keep them at equal heights.

•Check household plumbing for leaks.

Load too wet

•Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed? Select a cycle with a higher spin speed.

Did you wash a single item or bulky items or have you overloaded the washer?

A single item, bulky items, or overloading may cause imbalance. Add items or try to evenly distribute your wet laundry in the drum, and start a Drain & Spin cycle. If the laundry is still wet, take half of the load out of the washer and try again.

Residue or lint on load

•Did you add detergent to the dispenser?

For best results, add detergent to the detergent compartment. Do not add detergent to the washer drum.

•Did you sort properly?

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

Did you overload the washer?

Do not overload the washer. The washer can be fully loaded, but not tightly packed. The wash load must be balanced. Lint can be trapped in the load if overloaded.

•Check the following:

Was paper or tissue left in pockets?

Did you use enough HE detergent?

Use enough detergent to remove lint and hold it in suspension. Use only HE detergent. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.

•Is your water colder than 60°F (15.5°C)?

Wash water colder than 60°F (15.5°C) may not completely dissolve the detergent.

Are you using a low-speed wash cycle?

Powdered detergents may not dissolve well in a slow-speed cycle. For best results, use liquid detergent for slow-speed cycles such as Delicate and Handwash.
