Wipe up all spills. Dilute fabric softener in the fabric softener dispenser. s Did you put powdered or liquid color-safe bleach into the liquid chlorine bleach dispenser (on some models)? Add powdered or liquid color-safe bleach directly to the washer basket. Do not use the chlorine bleach dispenser for color-safe bleach. s Is the fabric softener dispenser clogged? Clean the fabric softener dispenser. See "Washer Care" for details. s Are the laundry additives in the correct dispenser compartment? Add the correct amounts of detergent, fabric softener or liquid chlorine bleach to the correct compartments. Add powdered or liquid color-safe bleach to the Main Wash compartment. s Is there water in the dispenser at the end of the cycle? A small amount of water will remain in the dispenser compartment. This is normal. Washer odor s Have you run the Clean Washer Cycle lately? To freshen your washer and to avoid odors, see "Cleaning Your Washer." s Are you using HE detergent? Use of non-HE detergent can cause a film residue which can result in odor. s Did you leave the door open after use? This washer has a tight seal to avoid water leaks. To avoid odors leave the door open to allow the washer to dry between uses. Door won't unlock s Did all of the water drain out of the washer during the spin? Select DRAIN/SPIN to remove any water remaining in the washer. The washer door will unlock at the end of the drain. s Is the door locked and is the "Add a garment" light on? Press PAUSE/CANCEL once. The door will unlock. Washer Operation Washer won't run, fill, rinse or tumble; washer stops WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong.

Remove any accumulated film or particles. Reinstall hoses, turn on water and check for leaks. s Is the washer in a normal pause in the cycle? The washer pauses for about 2 minutes during certain cycles. Allow the cycle to continue. Some cycles feature periods of tumbling and soak. s Is the washer overloaded? Wash smaller loads. s Is the washer door firmly shut? The door must be closed during operation. s Are the shipping bolts removed? All four shipping bolts must be removed for proper operation of the washer. s Has a cycle been selected, but START has not been selected and held for 1 second?
