Solutions
This is normal. Press POWER.
y
Make sure cord is plugged securely into a working outlet.
y
Turn both hot and cold faucets fully on.
y
Make sure the cycle was set correctly, close the lid and
y
press START.
Close lid and reset cycle, to the beginning if necessary.
y
Check house circuit breakers/fuses. Replace fuses or
y
reset breaker. The washer should have a dedicated circuit.
Press the POWER button.
y
Press START.
y
Check another faucet in the house to make sure that
y
household water pressure is adequate.
If the washer has been exposed to temperatures below
y
freezing for an extended period of time, allow it to warm
up before pressing POWER. Otherwise, the display will
not come on.
Make sure that filters (blue and orange screens must be
y
free of solids) on the unit are not clogged. Turn off water
and check filter by disconnecting hose at machine. Check
that fill hoses are not kinked or clogged.
This is an energy-efficient washer. As a result the
y
temperature settings for this washer may be different
than non-energy-efficient washers.
Make sure that the water supply is turned on.
y
Make sure that the water faucets are turned to their
y
completely open positions.
y The washer lid must be closed for all washer cycle
operations. If the lid is opened during washer operation,
all functions will stop, including water filling.
Make sure that the fill hoses connect the hot water supply
y
to the hot inlet on the washer, and the cold water supply
to the cold inlet on the washer (hot to hot, cold to cold).
Water may not cover the top level of the clothes. This is
y
normal for this high-efficiency washer. The water fill is
optimized by the system for best wash performance.
Ensure that the drain hose is not kinked. Per the
y
recommended installation instructions, the drain outlet
cannot be over 8' above the floor.
Check all fill and drain hose connections to ensure that
y
they are tight and secure.
Oversudsing may create leaks, and may be caused by
y
the type and amount of detergent used. High-efficiency
detergent is recommended. Make sure that detergent
and any additives are put into the correct dispenser
compartments. Follow the detergent manufacture's
recommendations for the amount of detergent, but try
using less detergent, especially if home water conditioning
or water softening units are used.
This is normal. The washer adjusts cycle time
y
automatically to provide optimal results for the selected
cycle.
If you press the START button while the lid is open, dE
y
error message will be displayed.
