TROUBLESHOOTING
First try the solutions
suggested
here
for assistance
and to possibly
avoid
a service
call.
Possible
Causes
Check plumbing
for correct
drain
hose
installation.
Drain hose extends
into
standpipe
farther
than 4.5" (114 mm).
Too much detergent
causing
suds to
slow or stop draining
and spinning.
High speed spins extract
more
moisture
than traditional
top-load
washers.
Check for proper
water
supply.
Energy-saving
controlled
wash temperatures.
Load not rinsed
Check for proper
water
supply.
Sand, pet hair, lint,
etc. on load
after
washing
Load is tangling
Not using HE detergent
or using too
much HE detergent.
Washer
not loaded
as recommended.
Heavy sand, pet hair, lint, and
detergent
or bleach
residues
may
require additional
rinsing.
Washer
not loaded
as recommended.
Solution
Check drain
hose for proper
installation.
Use drain
hose form
and securely
attach
to drainpipe
or tub. Do not tape
over drain
opening.
Lower drain
hose if the end is higher than 96" (2.4 m)
above
the floor.
Remove any clogs from drain
hose.
Use only HE detergent.
Always
measure
and follow
detergent
directions
for your load.
To remove
extra
suds, select Rinse/Spin.
Do not add detergent.
The high spin speeds
combined
with air flow during
the final spin
can cause items near the top of the load to develop
dry spots
during
the final
spin. This is normal.
Make
sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached
to both washer
and faucet,
and have both hot and cold water
flowing
to inlet valve.
Check that inlet valve
screens are not clogged.
Remove any kinks in hoses.
