TROUBLESHOOTING
First tty the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid the cost of a service call.
NOTE: Washer will not operate with the lid open.
Noisy
Is the load balanced, and is the washer level? The wash
load should be balanced and not overloaded. The washer
must be level. The front feet should be properly installed and
the nuts tightened. Reset the rear leveling legs (if needed).
See the Installation Instructions.
Did you completely remove the yellow shipping strap with
cotter pins?
See the Installation Instructions.
Are the gears engaging after the drain and before spin, or
is the upper part of agitator clicking during wash? These
are normal washer noises.
Leaking
Check the following:
Are the fill hoses tight?
Are the fill hose washers properly seated?
Is the drain hose clamp properly installed? See the
Installation Instructions.
Is the sink or drain clogged? Sink and standpipe must be
able to handle 17 gal. (64 L) of water per minute.
Is water deflecting off the tub ring or the load? Center the
tub before starting the washer. The wash load should be
balanced and not overloaded. The fill or spray rinses can
deflect off the load. The washer must be level. The front feet
should be properly installed and the nuts tightened. Reset the
rear leveling legs (if needed). See the Installation Instructions.
Check household plumbing for leaks.
Basket crooked
Was the washer basket pulled forward during loading?
Push the basket to the center before starting wash.
Is the load balanced, and is the washer level? The wash
load should be balanced and not overloaded. The washer
must be level. The front feet should be properly installed and
the nuts tightened. Reset the rear leveling legs (if needed).
Seethe Installation Instructions.
The washer basket moves while washing. This is normal.
Agitator operation
The top of the agitator is loose, or moves in only one
direction.
This is normal.
