If you need service or assistance,
we suggest you follow these four steps:
L Before calling for
if Your washer d«.ins at the w«,ng
assistance...
• The drain hose should be at least 28
inches above the floor and secured.
• The drain hose should not fit tight­
ly in the drain pipe.
• Make sure that the Cycle Control
Knob is pointing to a number in the
cycle.
Make sure the drain hose is higher
than the water level in the washer. If
it isn’t...
• The washer may seem to be drain­
ing during wash and rinse cycles.
• Water can siphon out. (See "Installa­
tion Instructions.")
If your washer stops during the per­
manent press cycle:
• Remember, the washer will stop for
about
2
minutes after the partial
drain during the cool-down period
in this cycle.
If your dryer does not run or heat:
• Is the power supply cord plugged
into a live circuit with the proper
voltage?
• Is the door closed tightly?
• Did you push START?
• Have you checked your home's
main fuses or circuit breaker box?
• The AIR setting is without heat.
• The last minutes of heaf settings
are without heat. See page 12.

from little things you can find and fix
yourself without tools of any kind.
