Important Safety Instructions before operating this washer.
1. Sort laundry into loads that can be washed together.
Sort items by recommended water temperatures and wash time.
•
Separatewhite,light,andcolorfastitemsfromdarkandnoncolorfast
items.
•
Separate items which shed lint from items which attract lint.
Permanent press, synthetic, knit and corduroy items will pick up lint
from towels, rugs and chenille bedspreads.
•
•
Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled items.
Separate lacy, sheer and loosely knit items from sturdy items.
Sort laundry into loads that can be
washed together.
2. Prepare items for washing.

•
Empty pockets.
Brush off lint and dirt. Shake out rugs and beach towels.
Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and remove
nonwashable trims and ornaments.
•
Remove pins, decorative buttons, belt buckles, and other objects
which could be damaged. This also helps protect other items in the
wash load.
•
•
Mend rips and tears to prevent further damage during washing.
Place delicate items such as bras, shoulder pads, hosiery, and belts
in a mesh bag to prevent tangling during the wash cycle.
Turn knit items inside out to prevent pilling.
Empty pockets.
•
3. Pretreat stains and heavy soil.
See Stain Removal for details.
4. Add laundry load to washer.
•
Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large
items should not be more than half the total wash load.
Do not wash single items such as a sweater, towel or jeans. This
may cause an out-of-balance load. Add 1 or 2 similar items to help
balance the load.
•
Place delicate items in a mesh bag.
•
•
Single heavy items such as a bedspread can be washed separately.
The washer can be fully loaded, but the items should not be tightly

workmanship or materials in this washer.
OCCURRENCE
POSSIBLE CAUSE / SOLUTION
NOISE
• A normal sound made by the timer.
"Clicking" noise.
• A certain amount of motor whine is normal during the spin cycle.
High pitch "jet engine" noise.
Rattling and clanking noise.
• Foreign objects such as coins or safety pins may be in drum or pump. Stop washer and check drum.
If noise continues after washer is restarted, objects may be in pump. Call your authorized servicer.
• Belt buckles and metal fasteners are hitting wash drum. To prevent unnecessary noise and damage
to drum, fasten fasteners and turn items inside out.
• Washer is overloaded. Do not overload washer. Stop washer and reduce load.
Squealing sound or hot rubber odor.
Thumping sound.
• Heavy wash loads may produce a thumping sound. This is usually normal. If sound continues, washer
is probably out of balance. Stop washer and redistribute wash load.
• Washer is not resting firmly on floor. Move washer so it rests firmly on floor. Adjust leveling legs
and tighten lock nuts. See INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for details.
Vibrating noise.
• Shipping bolts and foam block have not been removed during installation. See INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS for removing shipping bolts and foam block.
• Wash load unevenly distributed in drum. Stop washer and rearrange wash load.
OPERATING
• Electrical power cord may not be plugged in or connection may be loose. Make sure plug fits tightly
in wall outlet.
Washer does not start.
• House fuse blown, circuit breaker tripped, or a power outage has occurred. Reset circuit breaker
or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected
by a qualified electrician. If problem is a power outage, call local electric company.
• Water supply faucets are not turned on. Turn on water supply faucets.
• Cycle selector is not in correct position. Move indicator clockwise slightly. Pull out knob.
• Motor is overheated. Washer motor will stop if it becomes overheated. It will automatically restart
after a cool down period of up to 30 minutes (if washer has not been manually turned off).
• Washer door is not completely closed. Close door completely.
• Load is too small. Add 1 or 2 similar items to help balance the load.
Washer won't spin.
• Heavily soiled items. Wipe drum with a nonabrasive household cleanser, then rinse. Shake or brush
excess dirt and sand from items before washing.
Residue left in drum.
Laundry additives didn't dispense.
WATER
• Dispenser drawer open. Drawer should be completely closed for laundry additive to dispense.
• This is a result of the siphoning action and is part of the normal operation of the washer. Water
may be removed by removing the dispenser drawer (see Page 9, Figures 1 and 2) and draining water
into the empty drum or sink.
Water collects in bleach and fabric softener
compartments.
Wash load too wet after spin.
• Washer is overloaded. Do not overload washer. See Washing Procedures.
• Load is too small. Add 1 or 2 similar items to help balance the load.
• Load is out of balance. Rearrange load to allow proper spinning.

running water elsewhere while washer is filling.
• Water inlet hoses are kinked. Straighten hoses.
• Hot water heater is set too low or is a distance from washer. Measure hot water temperature
at nearby faucet with candy or meat thermometer. Water temperature should be at least 120°F
(49°C). Adjust water heater as necessary.
• Hot water is being used elsewhere in the house. Avoid using hot water elsewhere before or during
washer use. There may not be enough hot water available for proper cleaning. If problem persists,
your hot water system may be unable to support more than 1 use at a time.
Warm or hot water is not hot enough.
• Drain hose is kinked or clogged. Clean and straighten the drain hose.
• House drain pipes are clogged. Unclog drain pipes. Contact plumber if necessary.
Water in washer does not drain or drains
slowly.
• Fill hose connection is loose at faucet or washer. Check and tighten hose connections. Install rubber
sealing washers provided.
Water leaks.
• Oversudsing.Use less detergent.
• Dispenser drawer is open. Close drawer when washer is operating..
• Hot and cold water hoses are connected to wrong supply faucets. Connect hot water hose to hot
water faucet and cold water hose to cold water faucet.
Incorrect wash and rinse temperatures.
Water is entering washer but tub does not
fill.
• Drain hose standpipe is incorrect height. Standpipe must be a minimum of 23.6" (60 cm) high to
