unlocks.
See the Unpacking and Removing Shipping Material
section in the installation requirements section.
Pause the cycle and redistribute the load after the lid
unlocks.
See Leveling the Washer in the Installation Instructions
section.
Make sure that the floor is solid and does not flex. See
Flooring in the Installation Requirements section.
Check hoses and Y-connectors for leaks, cracks and
splits.
Check and tighten hose connections.
The washer pumps out water very rapidly. Check for
water backing up out of the drain pipe during drain. If
water is seen coming out of the drain, check for proper
drain hose installation and check for restrictions in the
drain. Contact a plumber to repair drain pipe.
Tie drain hose to inlet hose or standpipe to prevent it
from coming out during drain. For smaller drain pipes,
insert the drain hose into the pipe as far as the drain
hose flange. For larger drain pipes, insert the drain
hose into the pipe 1-2 inches past the flange.
Reduce the load or use the full-size washing machine.
Use the BULKY/BEDDING cycle on the front-loading
washer for large or bulky items.
Stop the washer and check the load. Make sure the
load fits loosely in the tub and the lid closes easily.
