For best performance, the end of the drain hose should be no higher than 66 inches (168 cm). The load is too small. • Add additional items to allow the washer to balance the load. Heavy articles are mixed with lighter items. • Always try to wash articles of somewhat similar weight to allow the washer to evenly distribute the weight of the load for spinning. The load is out of balance. • Manually redistribute the load if articles have become tangled, preventing the automatic rebalancing from working properly.
