What To Do
• Straighten drain hose and make sure washer is not
sitting on it.
• Check household plumbing. You may need to call
a plumber.
• Have your pump filter cleaned.
• Timer stops at 1 minute, machine has redistributed the
load once or twice. This is normal operation. Do nothing;
the machine will finish the wash cycle.
• Washer is designed to move 1/4" to reduce forces
transmitted to the floor. This movement is normal.
• Push and pull on the back right and then back left of your
washer to check if it is level. If the washer is uneven, adjust
the rubber leveling legs so they are all firmly touching the
floor. Your installer should correct this problem.
• Open door and manually redistribute load. To check
machine, run rinse and spin with no load. If normal,
unbalance was caused by load.
• Straighten drain hose and make sure washer is not
sitting on it.
• Check household plumbing. You may need to call

and light items.

• Make sure cord is plugged securely into a working outlet.
• Turn both hot and cold faucets fully on.
• Check house circuit breakers/fuses. Replace fuses or
reset breaker. Washer should have separate outlet.

• First time the washer is plugged in, automatic checks
occur. It may take up to 20 seconds before you can use
your washer. This is normal operation.
