• Ensure that the drain hose is not kinked. Per the 

recommended installation instructions, the drain outlet 

cannot be over 20.32cm above the floor.

• Check all fill and drain hose connections to ensure that 

they are tight and secure.

• Oversudsing may create leaks, and may be caused by 

the type and amount of detergent used. High-efficiency 

detergent is recommended. Make sure that detergent 

and any additives are put into the correct dispenser 

compartments. Follow the detergent manufacture's 

recommendations for the amount of detergent, but try 

using less detergent, especially if home water conditioning 

or water softening units are used.

• Make sure that detergent and additives are put in to the 

correct dispenser compartments. If liquid detergent is 

used, make sure that the liquid detergent cup and insert 

are in the detergent compartment. If powdered detergent 

is used, make sure that the liquid detergent cup and insert 

are not used. For all detergent types, always make sure 

that the dispenser drawer is fully closed before the start of 

the cycle.

• Make sure that the suggested amount of detergent is used 

per the manufacture's recommendations. You may also 

dilute the detergent with water to the maximum fill line on 

the compartment to avoid clogging. Use only HE (High-

Efficiency) detergent.

• Make sure that the water supply is turned on. Make sure 

that the water faucets are turned to their completely open 

positions.

• Normal operation. Residual may remain in the dispenser of 

the compartments. The dispenser box may by removed for 

occasional cleaning with warm water and a scrub brush. 

• You cannot store bleach in the dispenser for future use. 

The bleach dispenser will be dispensed every load for 

optimal safety of the washer.

• Overfilling the dispenser with bleach may lead to premature 

dispensing. There is a maximum fill line indicated on the 

bleach dispenser to help avoid overfilling.

• Make sure that the bleach cover is properly seated and 

snapped into place before the start of the cycle.

• You may remove and clean the bleach cover with warm 

water and a scrub brush to clear clogging.

• When stain inspector is used, presoak temperature and 

time are automatically selected. If you choose not to use 

the stain inspector, we recommend that you select presoak 

when defining your wash cycle. Always make sure that any 

additives, such as your high efficiency liquid detergent, 

are added to the pretreat dispenser bin before starting the 

cycle. Always refer to your clothes care label before treating 

stains.
