Problem Possible Causes Solutions

Wrinkling

Did you remove the load immediately after it finished?

Did you overload the tub?

Did you reverse the hot and cold water inlets?

Remove the load immediately after it finishes.

Do not overload the tub.

Hot water rinse can cause garments to wrinkle. Check

the inlet hose connections.

Power is not turned on

Is the power cord plugged in properly?

Has a house fuse blown, a circuit breaker tripped, or a

power outage occurred?

Make sure that the plug is secured in a grounded

3-prong, 120 V (60 Hz) outlet.

Reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuse. Do not

increase the fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit

overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.

The door does not open when the

cycle pauses or finishes

Is the temperature in the tub too high?

Is the water level in washer high?

The washing machine has a safety lock built into the

door to prevent burning. Leave the door closed and wait

until the door lock icon disappears from the display.

Allow the washer to complete the programmed cycle,

or Press the SPIN button.

The wash cycle time is longer than

usual

Is the washing machine overloaded? Are other options

added to the wash cycle?

This is normal. The washing machine automatically

adjusts the cycle time for the amount of laundry, water

pressure, water temperature, and other operating

conditions.

It is musty or moldy in the tub

Has the incorrect detergent been used?

Did you clean the tub periodically?

Use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent recommended

for a front-loading washing machine.

See page 30, clean the inside and outside of the

washing machine periodically.

Banging noise when washer is filling

with water (Water Hammer)

Plumbing in the home moves or flexes when the water

valves in the washer shut off.

Household water supply pressure is very high.

Water hammer is not caused by a defect in the washer.

Install water hammer arrestors (purchased separately at

hardware or home improvement store) between the fill

hose and the washer for best results.

Adjust household water supply regulator to a lower

pressure or contact a plumber to have a regulator

installed.

Strange odors coming from

washer

First time using washer

Buildup of dirt on gasket or drum, dirty or

clogged drain pump filter, kinked or clogged

drain hose

Smell comes from the rubber attached to the washer door.

It will eventually dissipate after first couple of wash cycles.

Periodically clean the gasket. Mold and foreign substances

inside the gasket may produce mildew or musty smells.

Clean the drain pump filter regularly. Foreign substances

on the drain pump filter may produce mildew or musty

smells.

If the drain hose is not installed properly, the odor may be

emitted because of a backflow of drainage into the tub.

Make sure that the drain hose is not kinked or clogged.
