TROUBLESHOOTING First try the solutions suggested hers and possibly avoid the cost of a service call... NOTE: Washer will not operate with the lid open. 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).
Does the water level seem too low, or does the washer appear to not fill completely? The top of the agitator is much higher than the highest water level. This is normal and necessary for clothes to move freely. Washer stops, won't fill, rinse or agitate Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician. Are you using an extension cord.
%JS<_ Was the wash water warm enough to relax wrinkles, or are you using warm rinses? If safe for the load, use warm or hot wash water. Use cold rinse water. Load too wet • Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed? Select a cycle with a higher spin speed (if available). • Did you use a cold rinse? Cold rinses leave loads wetter than warm rinses. This is normal. Are the hot and cold water hoses reversed? Check that the hot and cold water hoses are connected to the right faucets.
