Incomplete or no dispensing of detergent Possible Cause & Solution Drain hose has come out of the drain connector or is not inserted far enough. • 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. Oversudsing of detergent • Oversudsing may create leaks, and may be caused by the type and amount of detergent used. HE (High-Efficiency) detergent is the only detergent recommended. The normal amount of detergent to use is 1/4 to 1/2 of the maximum amount recommended by the detergent manufacturer. • 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 recommended by the detergent manufacturer. Too much detergent or incorrect detergent • HE detergents are formulated specifically for HE (High-Efficiency) washers and contain suds reducing agents. Only use detergent with the HE (High-Efficiency) logo. • For detergent quantities refer to Detergent Use in OPERATION. If sudsing or detergent residue continues to be an issue, add an extra rinse. Power cord is not properly plugged in. • Make sure that the plug is plugged securely into a grounded, 3-prong, 120-VAC, 60 Hz outlet. House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred. • Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified election. The washer automatically adjusts the wash time for the amount of laundry, water pressure and other operating conditions. • This is normal. The washer adjusts cycle time automatically to provide optimal results for the selected cycle. The time remaining shown in the display is only an estimate. Actual time may vary. Detergent compartments clogged from incorrect filling. • Make sure that detergent and additives are put into the correct dispenser compartments. • For all detergent types, always make sure that the dispenser drawer is fully closed before the start of the cycle. Too much detergent used. • Make sure that the suggested amount of detergent is used according to the manufacturer's recommendations. You may also dilute the detergent with water to the maximum fill line on the compartment to avoid clogging. Use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent. NOTE • Always use as little detergent as possible. HE (High-Efficiency) washers need very little detergent to achieve optimum results. Using too much detergent will cause poor wash and rinse performance and may contribute to odors in the washer. Insufficient water supply • Make sure that both hot and cold water faucets are turned on all the way. Normal residue • It is normal for a small amount of detergent to remain in the dispenser. If this residue builds up, it can interfere with normal dispensing of detergents. Refer to the cleaning instructions.
