40 TROUBLESHOOTING Operation Problem Water leaking Possible Cause Hoses are not connected correctly. House drain pipes are clogged. Drain hose has come out of drain connector or is not inserted far enough. Solutions ••Check hoses and connectors for leaks, cracks and splits. ••Check and tighten hose connections. ••The washer pumps out water very rapidly. Check for water backing up out of the drain pipe during drain. If water is seen coming out of the drain, check for proper drain hose installation and check for restrictions in the drain. Contact a plumber to repair drain pipe. ••Tie drain hose to inlet hose or standpipe to prevent it from coming out during drain. For smaller drain pipes, insert the drain hose into the pipe as far as the drain hose flange. For larger drain pipes, insert the drain hose into the pipe 1-2 inches past the flange. ••Reduce the load or use the Main Washer. Load is too large for the tub. Oversudsing of detergent. Water leaks every load. Hoses are not installed correctly. Excessive sudsing Too much detergent or incorrect detergent. Washer will not turn on. Power cord is not properly plugged in. House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred. ••Stop the washer and check the load. Make sure the load fits loosely in the tub and the lid closes easily. ••Oversudsing may create leaks, and may be caused by the type and amount of detergent used. High-Efficiency detergent is the only detergent recommended. Always reduce the amount of detergent if the load is small or lightly soiled, or if the water is very soft. Never use more than the maximum amount shown in the dispenser provided. ••Check all fill and drain hose connections to ensure that they are tight and secure. ••HE detergents are formulated specifically for High-Efficiency washers and contain sudsreducing agents. Only use detergent with the High-Efficiency (HE) logo. ••For detergent quantities refer to the Detergent Use section. If sudsing or detergent residue continue to be an issue, add an Extra Rinse. ••Make sure that the plug is plugged securely into a grounded, 3-prong, 120-VAC, 60 Hz outlet. ••Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.
