Vibration or Off-Balance
Check the following for 

proper installation or  

see “Using Your  

Washer” section

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. 

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.

Load dry items in loose heaps evenly around basket wall. Adding 

wet items to washer or adding more water to basket could 

unbalance washer.
Wash smaller loads to reduce imbalance.
Do not tightly pack. Avoid washing single items.
Use Normal cycle and Bulky/Sheets or Super load size for  

oversized, non-absorbent items such as comforters or poly- 

filled jackets.
See “Cycle Guide” and “Using Your Washer” in this Use and  

Care Guide.

Noises
Clicking or metallic noises

Objects caught in washer drain 

system.

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

buckles, or zippers touch against the basket. 

Gurgling or humming

Washer may be draining water.

It is normal to hear the pump making a continuous humming sound 

with periodic gurgling or surging as final amounts of water are 

removed during the Drain & Spin cycles.

Humming

Load sensing may be occurring.

You may hear the hum of the sensing spins after you have started 

the washer. This is normal.

Winding down

Brake applied to motor to slow down 

basket.

This is a normal sound.

Water Leaks
Check the following for 

proper installation:

Washer not level.

Water may splash off basket if washer is not level. Check that load  

is not unbalanced or tightly packed.

Fill hoses not attached tightly.

Tighten fill-hose connection.

Fill hose washers.

Make sure all four fill hose flat washers are properly seated.

Drain hose connection.

Pull drain hose from washer cabinet and properly secure it to  

drainpipe or laundry tub.
Do not place tape over drain opening.

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, drainpipe, water pipes, 

and faucets.)

Washer not loaded as  

recommended.

Improper 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 performing as expected
Washer won’t run  

or fill, washer stops  

working or wash light  

remains on (indicating that 

the washer was unable to fill 

appropriately)

Check for proper water supply.

Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to inlet valve.
Both hot and cold water faucets must be turned on. 
Check that inlet valve screens have not become clogged.
Check for any kinks in inlet hoses, which can restrict water flow.
