Possible Cause
• After START is pressed, the washer does several system checks.
Water will flow 60 seconds after START is pressed.
• Turn on both hot and cold faucets fully.
• Turn off the water source and remove the water connection hoses
from the upper back of the washer. Use a brush or toothpick to clean
the screens in the machine. Reconnect the hoses and turn the water
back on.
• Avoid mixing heavy items (like work clothes) with
light items (like blouses).
• Load your washer so clothes have enough room
to move freely.
• Match cycle selection to the type of fabric you are
washing (especially for easy care loads).
• Wash in warm or cold water.
• Use correct amount of detergent.
• Use HE detergent.
• Use hottest water safe for fabric.

a water softener.

• Sort clothes by color. If fabric label states wash separately,
unstable dyes may be indicated.
• Check fabric softener package for instructions and follow
directions for using dispenser.
• Sort whites or lightly colored items from dark colors.
• Promptly remove wash load from washer.
• Make sure hoses are connected to correct faucets.
• Make sure house water heater is delivering water at 120°–140°F
(48°–60°C).
• Due to the metallic properties of paint used for this unique
product, slight variations of color may occur due to viewing angles

container.
