Possible Causes

Solution

Feet may not be in contact with the

oor and locked.

Front and rear feet must be in rm contact with oor, and washer

must be level to operate properly. Jam nuts must be tight

against the bottom of the cabinet.

Check oor for exing or sagging. If ooring is uneven, a 3/4"

(19 mm) piece of plywood under your washer will reduce sound.

See “Level the Washer” in “Installation Instructions.”

Load could be unbalanced.

Load dry items in loose heaps evenly around basket wall.

Adding wet items to washer or adding more water to basket

could unbalance washer.

Avoid washing single items. Balance a single item such as a

rug or jeans jacket with a few extra items. If the dial is ashing,

redistribute the load, close the lid, and press START/PAUSE.

Use Bulky cycle for oversized, non-absorbent items such

as comforters or poly-lled jackets. Other items are not

appropriate for Bulky cycle. See “Cycle Guide.”

Item or load not suitable for selected cycle. See “Cycle Guide”

and “Using Your Washer” in this “Use and Care Guide.”

Empty pockets before washing. Loose items such as coins

could fall between basket and tub or may block pump.

It may be necessary to call for service to remove items.

Washer not level.

Water may splash off basket if washer is not level.

Fill hoses not attached tightly.

Tighten ll-hose connection.

Make sure all four ll hose at washers are properly seated.

Drain hose connection.

Pull drain hose from washer cabinet and properly secure it to

drainpipe or laundry tub.

Check household plumbing for leaks

or clogged sink or drain.

Water can back up out of a clogged sink or drainpipe. Check

all household plumbing for leaks (laundry tubs, drain pipe,

water pipes, and faucets).

Fill hose washers.

It is normal to hear metal items on clothing such as metal snaps,

buckles, or zippers touch against the stainless steel basket.

Objects caught in washer drain

system.

Clicking or metallic

noises

Gurgling or humming

It is normal to hear the pump making a continuous humming

sound with periodic gurgling or surging as nal amounts of

water are removed during the spin/drain cycles.

Washer may be draining water.

Check the following for

proper installation:

Do not place tape over drain opening.

Unbalanced loading can cause basket to be out of alignment

and cause water to splash off tub. See “Using Your Washer”

for loading instructions.

Washer not loaded as

recommended.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Vibration, rocking, or

“walking”

Not enough water

in washer

Load not completely covered

in water.

This is normal operation for an HE low-water washer. The load

will not be completely underwater. The washer senses load sizes

and adds correct amount of water for optimal cleaning. See

“What’s New under the Lid.”

IMPORTANT: Do not add more water to washer. The added

water lifts the load off the impeller, resulting in less cleaning.

Washer not performing as expected

Washer may not be level.

Vibration during spinning

or washer stopped with

all dial lights ashing
