PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE
WATER LEAKS
● Make sure hose connections are tight at faucets.
● Make sure end of drain hose is correctly inserted in and secured to drain facility.
WASHER IS NOISY
● Make sure washer is level and
flrrn
to the floor with robber foot pads in place and
front jam nuts tight. See your Installation Instructions.
● A sharp, distinctive sound will be heard at the end of each spin period as the motor
stops and the spin brake inside the transmission “locks in.” This sound is normal.
● Heavily unbalanced loads can cause the washer to vibrate excessively during spin, and
may cause it to move from its original position. In extreme cases (usually occurs when
washing a single, heavy item or a small load when water level is set higher than
necessary), the spin basket may strike the outer tub, creating a loud but harmless noise.
To correct, open the lid and redistribute the load evenly about the wash basket. Close
the lid and restart.
WASHER PAUSES
● Washer normally pauses between washing steps.. such as between wash and spin or
IN CYCLE between spin and rinse.
