Possible Causes
Liquid chlorine bleach may have been
added incorrectly.
An item in the load may be keeping
the lid from locking.
Washer lid left open.
Do not pour liquid chlorine bleach directly onto load. Wipe up
bleach spills.
Undiluted bleach will damage fabrics. Do not use more than
recommended by manufacturer.
Do not place load items on top of bleach dispenser when
loading and unloading washer.
Do not overfill dispenser. Overfilling causes immediate dispensing.
Always select FABRIC SOFTENER and/or OxI TREAT STAINS
options to ensure proper dispensing.
Load dispensers before starting a cycle.
It is normal for small amounts of water to be remain in dispenser
at the end of the cycle.
Homes with low water pressure may result in residual powder in the
dispenser. To avoid, select a warmer wash temperature if possible,
depending on your load.
Use liquid chlorine bleach only in the liquid chlorine bleach
dispenser.
You may only place Oxi products directly in the liquid chlorine
bleach dispener. If using Oxi products, be sure to select OxI
TREAT STAINS option. Do not use both liquid chlorine bleach
and Oxi product in the same load.
If an overload is detected, the washer will drain any water and
detergent in the washer. Remove several items and add HE
detergent. Close lid and press START/PAUSE.
Allow the washer to continue. If the dial is flashing and the
washer has stopped, redistribute the load, close the lid, and
press START/PAUSE.
Check plumbing for correct drain hose installation. Use drain
hose form and attach securely to drainpipe or tub. Do not tape
over drain opening. See "Installation Instructions".

dial is flashing, reselect your desired cycle using a cold wash
temperature, and press START/PAUSE. Do not add detergent.
Check for items directly under the lid.
Close the lid to clear the display. If the lid is left open for more
than 10 minutes, the cycle will reset and water in the washer
