SOLUTION
•
Turn both faucets on fully.
•
Make sure the temperature selection is correct.
•
Make sure the hoses are connected to the correct faucets.
Flush water lines.
•
Check the water heater. It should be set to deliver a minimum 120° F
(49° C) hot water at the tap. Also check the water heater capacity and
recovery rate.
•
Disconnect the hoses and clean the screens. The hose filter screens may
be plugged.
•
As your Washer is filling, the water temperature may change as
the automatic temperature control feature checks incoming water
temperature. This is normal.
•
While your Washer is filling, you may notice just hot and/or just cold water
going through the dispenser when cold or warm wash temperatures are
selected. This is a normal function of the automatic temperature control
feature as your Washer determines the temperature of the water.

Washer will not tumble or spin unless the door is closed.

Make sure the debris filter is not clogged.

Make sure all hose connections are tight.
•
Make sure the end of the drain hose is correctly inserted and secured to
the drainage system.
