Possible Causes

Solution

Washer not performing as expected (cont.)

Washer won’t run or fill,

washer stops working

(cont.)

Not using HE detergent or using too

much HE detergent.

Only use HE detergent. Suds from regular detergents can

slow or stop the washer. Always measure detergent, following

manufacturer’s directions based on your load requirements.
To remove suds, cancel cycle. Select DRAIN & SPIN with Extra

Rinse. Touch and hold START. Do not add more detergent.

Door not opened between cycles.

After 3 wash cycles in a row are completed, the door must be

opened and then closed before a new cycle can begin.

Washer not draining/

spinning, loads are

still wet

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.

The drain hose is clogged, or the end

of the drain hose more than 96" (2.4 m)

above the floor.

Lower drain hose if the end is higher than 96" (2.4 m) above

the floor. Remove any clogs from drain hose. See “Installation

Requirements” in Installation Instructions.

The drain hose fits too tightly in the

standpipe, or is it taped to the standpipe.

The drain hose should be loose yet fit securely. Do not seal the

drain hose with tape. The hose needs an air gap. See “Secure

the Drain Hose” in Installation Instructions.

Using cycles with a lower spin speed.

Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles

with high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/speed spin

for your garment.

Washer not loaded as recommended.

A tightly packed or unbalanced load may not allow the washer

to spin correctly, leaving the load wetter than normal. See “Cycle

Guide” for load size recommendation for each cycle.

The load may be out of balance.

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

or jeans jacket with a few extra items.

Not using HE detergent or using too

much HE detergent.

Use only HE detergent. Suds from regular detergent or using

too much detergent can slow or stop draining or spinning.

Always measure and follow manufacturer’s directions for your

load. To remove extra suds, select DRAIN & SPIN with Extra

Rinse. Do not add detergent.

Small items may have been caught in the

pump or stuck between the washer drum

and the outer tub.

Check the drum for any items sticking through the drum holes.

Empty pockets and use garment bags when washing small items.

There are too many clothes in the Wash

& Dry cycle.

Only use the Overnight Wash & Dry cycle for 2–4 lightly soiled

synthetic garments, athletic uniforms, or workout wear.

Door locked at end of wash

cycle.

Water remaining in washer after cycle.

Select DRAIN & SPIN to remove any water remaining in the

washer. The washer door will unlock at the end of the drain.

Fresh Hold

Door locks when cycle has started.

If the “Add a Garment” light is lit, touch START once. The door

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.

Washing many loads.

Your hot water tank may not have enough hot water to keep up

with the number of hot or warm washes. This is normal.
