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 |
|
|
|
|
| Do not use an extension cord. |
|
|
|
|
| Ensure there is power to outlet. |
|
|
|

|
| is low. |
|
|
|
|
| Reset a tripped circuit breaker. Replace any blown fuses. |
|

|
|
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. |
