Possible Causes

Solution

 Vibration or Off-Balance

Vibration, rocking, or  

“walking”

Feet may not be in contact with the floor 

and locked.

Front and rear feet must be in firm contact with floor, and washer 

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

the bottom of the cabinet.

Washer may not be level.

Check floor for flexing or sagging. If flooring 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 or too large.

Avoid tightly packing the load. Avoid washing single items. 

Balance a single item such as a rug or jeans jacket with a few 

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

and “Using Your Washer.”

The shipping bolts are still in the back of 

the washer.

See “Remove transport bolts from washer” in the Installation 

Instructions.

Noises

Clicking or metallic noises

Door locking or unlocking.

The door will lock, unlock, and lock again. You will hear 3 clicks 

after touching and holding START. This is normal.

Objects caught in washer drain system.

Empty pockets before washing. Loose items such as coins could 

fall between washer drum and tub or may block pump. It may be 

necessary to call for service to remove items.
It is normal to hear metal items on clothing such as metal snaps, 

buckles, or zippers touch against the stainless steel drum.  

Gurgling or humming

Washer may be draining water.

The pump may make a humming sound with periodic gurgling or 

surging as final amounts of water are removed during the spin/

drain cycles. This is normal at certain stages of the cycle.

Rolling or sloshing  

and occasional clicking  

(on low-speed spin)

Steel balls in the balancing system are 

balancing the load.

This is normal at certain stages of the cycle.

Water Leaks

Check the following for

proper installation

Fill hoses not attached tightly.

Tighten fill-hose connection. 

Fill hose washers.

Properly seat all four fill-hose flat washers.

Drain hose connection.

Check that the drain hose is properly secured 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.)

Water or suds leaking from 

door or rear of cabinet

Not using HE detergent or using too 

much HE detergent.

Only use HE detergent. Suds from regular detergents can  

cause leaking from the door or rear of cabinet. Always measure 

detergent and follow manufacturer’s directions based on your 

load requirements.

Residue on door glass.

Periodically clean the underside of the glass window to avoid 

potential leaks.

Door opened during “Add a Garment.”

Water can drip off the inside of the door when the door is 

opened after the start of a cycle.

Washer not performing as expected

Load not completely  

covered in water

Water level not visible on door or does 

not cover clothes.

This is normal for an HE front load washer. The washer senses 

load sizes and adds the correct amount of water for optimal 

cleaning.
