Is the drain hose clogged, or the end of the drain hose more than 72 inches (183 cm) above the floor? See the Installation Instructions for proper installation of drain hose. Is the lid open? The lid must be closed during operation. Is there excessive sudsing? Always measure detergent. Follow manufacturer�s directions. If you have very soft water, you might need to use less detergent.

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.

Washer continues to fill or drain, or the cycle seems stuck
s

Is the top of drain hose lower than the water level in washer? The top of the hose must be higher than the water level in the washer for proper operation. See the Installation Instructions. Does the drain hose fit too tightly in the standpipe, or is it taped to the standpipe? The drain hose should be loose yet fit securely. Do not seal the drain hose with tape. The hose needs an air gap. See the Installation Instructions.

Are you using an extension cord? Do not use an extension cord. Is the washer in a normal pause in the Casual/Permanent Press (or Hand Washables) cycle? The washer pauses for about 2 minutes in the Casual/ 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.

s

Did you completely remove the yellow shipping strap with cotter pins? See the Installation Instructions. Are the gears engaging after the drain and before spin, or is the upper part of agitator clicking during wash? These are normal washer noises.

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). See the Installation Instructions.
