Solution

Check for proper water supply.	Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to
	inlet valve.

	Both hot and cold water faucets must be turned on.

	Check that inlet valve screens have not become clogged.

	Check for any kinks in inlet hoses, which can restrict water flow.
Check proper electrical supply.	Plug power cord into a grounded 3-prong outlet.

	Do not use an extension cord.

	Ensure there is power to outlet.

	Check electrical source or call an electrician to check if voltage
	is low.

	Reset a tripped circuit breaker. Replace any blown fuses.
	NOTE: If problems continue, contact an electrician.

Normal washer operation.	Door must be completely closed and latched for washer to run.

	Washer will pause during certain phases of cycle.
	Do not interrupt cycle.

	The washer pauses for about 2 minutes during certain cycles.
	Allow the cycle to continue. Some cycles feature periods of
	tumbling and soak.

	Washer may be stopped to reduce suds.

	Cold Wash uses less water in the beginning of the cycle to
	provide a high concentration of detergent for optimal cleaning
	action. Following this concentrated tumbling, more water is
	used to complete the wash.

The washer door is not firmly shut.	The door must be closed during operation.

Washer not loaded as recommended.	Remove several items, rearrange load evenly in washer drum.
	Close door and touch and hold HOLD TO START.

	Do not add more than 1 or 2 additional items after cycle has
	started to avoid tightly packing or unbalancing.

	Do not add more water to the washer.
