Vacation, Storage and Moving Care
Install and store your washer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your washer. If storing or moving your washer during freezing weather, winterize it.

To use washer again
1. Flush water pipes and hoses. Reconnect water inlet hoses. Turn on both water faucets.

Non-use or vacation care

Operate your washer only when you are at home. If you will be on vacation or not using your washer for an extended period of time, you should: s Unplug washer or disconnect power.

Washer won�t fill, rinse or agitate; washer stops

Are the water inlet valve screens clogged? Turn off the water and remove inlet hoses from the washer. Remove any accumulated film or particles. Reinstall hoses, turn on water and check for leaks. Are both the hot and cold water faucets turned on? Turn on the water. Is the water inlet hose kinked? Straighten the hoses. 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 creates a perception that the washer is not filling completely. This is normal. 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. Is the washer in a normal pause in the Synthetics/ Permanent Press (or Hand Washables) cycle? The washer pauses for about 2 minutes in the Synthetics/ Permanent Press cycle. Allow the cycle to continue. The Hand Washables cycle (on some models) features periods of agitation and soak. Is the washer overloaded? Wash smaller loads. Is the lid open? The lid must be closed during operation. Washer will not agitate or spin with the lid open.
