| Troubleshooting | |
|---|---|
| Noisy Washer | Check load balance, levelness, shipping strap removal, and normal operating noises. |
| Leaking | Check fill hose tightness, washer seating, drain hose clamp, sink/standpipe capacity, water deflection, and plumbing. |
| Basket Crooked | Ensure basket is centered, load is balanced, and washer is level. Basket movement during washing is normal. |
| Agitator Operation | Loose agitator top or one-way movement is normal. |
| Dispensers Clogged / Bleach Leaking | Follow manufacturer's directions for adding detergent/softener, measure carefully, and use correct dispenser types. |
| Washer Stops, Won't Fill, Rinse, or Agitate | Check power connection, cycle knob alignment, clogged screens, faucet operation, kinked hoses, water level perception, fuses/breakers, and extension cord use. Note normal pause cycles and avoid overloading. |
| Washer Won't Drain or Spin | Check drain hose for clogs or height issues, lid closure, and excessive sudsing. |
| Washer Continues to Fill or Drain, Cycle Stuck | Ensure drain hose is correctly positioned (higher than water level), not too tight, and has an air gap. |
| Wash Temperature Incorrect | Check for reversed hot/cold water hoses. Note that temperature may decrease with frequent use. |
| Load Too Wet | Verify correct cycle, cold rinse use (normal), and proper load size/balance. |
| Residue or Lint on Load | Check sorting, load balance, water level, detergent amount, and line drying. Also check pockets for paper. |
| Stains on Load | Follow detergent/softener directions, check water iron content, sort loads properly, and unload promptly to prevent dye transfer. |
| Load Wrinkled | Unload promptly, use correct cycle (Casual/Permanent Press), avoid overloading, and check water temperature/hose connections. |
| Load Tangled or Twisted | Avoid overloading and wrapping items around the agitator. |
| Gray Whites, Dingy Colors | Sort loads properly, use appropriate water temperature, ensure sufficient detergent, and check hose connections. |
| Garments Damaged | Check pockets, zippers, snaps, hooks, strings, sashes. Mend items before washing. Avoid overloading. Check bleach usage and follow care labels. |
