Possible Causes
Not using HE detergent or using too
much HE detergent.
Door not opened between cycles.
Drain hose extends into standpipe farther
than 4.5" (114 mm).
The drain hose is clogged, or the end
of the drain hose more than 96" (2.4 m)
above the floor.
The drain hose fits too tightly in the
standpipe, or is it taped to the standpipe.
Using cycles with a lower spin speed.
Washer not loaded as recommended.
The load may be out of balance.
Not using HE detergent or using too
much HE detergent.
Small items may have been caught in the
pump or stuck between the washer drum
and the outer tub.

& Dry cycle.
Water remaining in washer after cycle.
Fresh Hold /Fresh Spin option is on.
® ™
Door locks when cycle has started.

Washing many loads.
Solution
Only use HE detergent. Suds from regular detergents can
slow or stop the washer. Always measure detergent, following
manufacturer's directions based on your load requirements.
To remove suds, cancel cycle. Select DRAIN & SPIN with Extra
Rinse. Touch and hold START. Do not add more detergent.
After 3 wash cycles in a row are completed, the door must be
opened and then closed before a new cycle can begin.
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. See "Installation
Requirements" in Installation Instructions.
The drain hose should be loose yet fit securely. Do not seal the
drain hose with tape. The hose needs an air gap. See "Secure
the Drain Hose" in Installation Instructions.
Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles
with high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/speed spin
for your garment.
A tightly packed or unbalanced load may not allow the washer
to spin correctly, leaving the load wetter than normal. See "Cycle
Guide" for load size recommendation for each cycle.
Avoid washing single items. Balance a single item such as a rug
or jeans jacket with a few extra items.
Use only HE detergent. Suds from regular detergent or using
too much detergent can slow or stop draining or spinning.
Always measure and follow manufacturer's directions for your
load. To remove extra suds, select DRAIN & SPIN with Extra
Rinse. Do not add detergent.
Check the drum for any items sticking through the drum holes.
Empty pockets and use garment bags when washing small items.
Only use the Overnight Wash & Dry cycle for 2–4 lightly soiled
synthetic garments, athletic uniforms, or workout wear.
Select DRAIN & SPIN to remove any water remaining in the
washer. The washer door will unlock at the end of the drain.

Your hot water tank may not have enough hot water to keep up
