Lid must be closed for washer to run.
Washer will pause during certain phases of cycle. Do not

Washer spins the dry load for several minutes before filling to
determine if load is balanced. You may hear the hum of the
spins. This is normal.
Remove several items, rearrange load evenly in basket and add
detergent. Close lid and press START/Pause/Unlock.
Do not add more than 1 or 2 additionN items after cycle has
started to avoid tightly packing or unbalancing.
Small items may have been caught in pump or between basket
and tub, which can slow draining.
Cycles w[_ lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles
with high spin speeds. Use the recommended
cycle/speed
spin
for your garment. To remove extra water in the load, select Drain
& Spin. Load may need to be rearranged to allow even
distribution
of the load in the basket.
Tightly packing or unbalanced
loads will not allow the washer to
spin correctly, leaving the load wetter than normal. See "Using
Your Washer" for loading recommendations.
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.
Always measure and follow detergent directions for your load.
To remove extra suds, select Rinse & Spin. Do not add detergent.
