SOLUTION
•
Turn both faucets on fully.
•
Make sure the temperature selection is correct.
•
Make sure the hoses are connected to the correct faucets.
Flush the water lines.
•
Check your 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.
•
Press the Start/Pause Button to stop your washer.
•
Your washer door will remain locked during the heating portion of the Sanitize
Cycle.
•
It may take a few moments for the door lock mechanism to disengage.
•
Check the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
•
Straighten the drain hoses. Eliminate kinked hoses. If there is a drain restriction,
call for service.
•
Close the door and press the Start/Pause Button. For your safety, your washer
will not tumble or spin unless the door is closed.
•
Make sure the debris filter is not clogged.
•
Use the High or Extra High spin speed.
•
Use high efficiency detergent to reduce over–sudsing.
•
The load is too small. Very small loads (one or two items) may become
unbalanced and not spin out completely.
•
Make sure the door is firmly closed.
•
Make sure all hose connections are tight.
•
Make sure the end of the drain hose is correctly inserted and secured to the
drainage system.
•
Avoid overloading.
•
Use high efficiency detergent to prevent over–sudsing.
•
Use high efficiency detergent to prevent over-sudsing.
•
Reduce the detergent amount for soft water, small or lightly soiled loads.
•
Make sure you are using HE detergent.
•
The Front Loading washer provides maximum performance using a small
amount of water.
•
Since the water fill is not completed at the beginning of the wash, the amount
of water may appear to be small.
•
Because the amount of time that water is supplied differs depending on the
type of laundry, the amount of water may seem small.
•
Since water is supplied from the bottom of the tub and the supplied water is
absorbed by the laundry, the amount of water may seem small.
•
Check your Detergent. Excessive suds collect in nooks and crannies and
cause mold.
•
Run cleansing cycles to sanitize the machine periodically. (Silver Care or
Sanitize Cycle or Pure Cycle)
•
Clean the door seal (Diaphragm).
•
Dry the interior of your washer after the total cycle has finished.
