Washer not performing as expected (cont.)
Washer not draining/

spinning, loads are still 

wet, or spin light remains 

on (indicating that the 

washer was unable to 

pump out water within  

10 minutes)

Small items may have been caught 

in pump or between basket and tub, 

which can slow draining.

Empty pockets and use garment bags for small items.

Using a cycle with a low spin speed.

Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles with 

high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/spin speed for your 

item. 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.

The washer may be tightly packed or 

unbalanced.

Tightly packed or unbalanced loads may not allow the washer to 

spin correctly, leaving the load wetter than normal. Evenly arrange 

the wet load for balanced spinning. Select the Drain & Spin cycle 

to remove excess water. See “Using Your Washer” for loading 

recommendations.

Load off balanced.

See “Vibration or Off-Balance” in Troubleshooting section for more 

information.

Check plumbing for correct drain hose 

installation. Drain hose extends into 

standpipe farther than 4.5" (114 mm).

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.

Too much detergent causing suds to 

slow or stop draining and spinning.

Use only HE detergent. Always measure and follow detergent  

directions for your load. To remove extra suds, select RINSE &  

SPIN. Do not add detergent.

Dry spots on load after 

cycle

High speed spins extract more 

moisture than traditional top-load 

washers. 

The high spin speeds combined with air flow during the final spin 

can cause items near the top of the load to develop dry spots  

during the final spin. This is normal.

Incorrect or wrong wash 

or rinse temperatures

Check for proper water supply.

Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached to both washer and faucet, and have 

both hot and cold water flowing to inlet valve.
Check that inlet valve screens are not clogged.
Remove any kinks in hoses.

Energy-saving controlled wash 

temperatures.

ENERGY STAR

®

 qualified washers use cooler wash and rinse water 

temperatures than traditional top-load washer. This includes cooler 

hot and warm washes.

Load not rinsed

Check for proper water supply.

Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to the inlet 

valve.
Both hot and cold water faucets must be on.
Inlet valve screens on washer may be clogged.
Remove any kinks in the inlet hose.

Not using HE detergent or using too 

much HE detergent.

The suds from regular detergent can keep washer from operating 

correctly.
Use only HE detergent. Be sure to measure correctly. 
Always measure detergent and follow detergent directions based  

on load size and soil level. 

Washer may be tightly packed.

The washer is less efficient at rinsing when tightly packed.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. 
Use cycle designed for the fabrics being washed.
Add only 1 or 2 additional garments after washer is started.
