Incorrect wash and rinse temperatures. Water is entering washer but tub does not fill. POSSIBLE CAUSE / SOLUTION • Electrical power cord may not be plugged in or connection may be loose. Make sure plug fits tightly in wall outlet. • House fuse blown, circuit breaker tripped, or a power outage has occurred. Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician. If problem is a power outage, call local electric company. • Water supply faucets are not turned on. Turn on water supply faucets. • Cycle selector is not in correct position. Move indicator clockwise slightly. Pull out knob. • Motor is overheated. Washer motor will stop if it becomes overheated. It will automatically restart after a cool down period of up to 30 minutes (if washer has not been manually turned off). • Washer door is not completely closed. Close door completely. • Load is too small. Add 1 or 2 similar items to help balance the load. • Heavily soiled items. Wipe drum with a nonabrasive household cleanser, then rinse. Shake or brush excess dirt and sand from items before washing. • Dispenser drawer open. Drawer should be completely closed for laundry additives to dispense. • This is a result of the siphoning action and is part of the normal operation of the washer. Water may be removed by removing the dispenser drawer (see Page 11, Figures 1 and 2) and draining water into the empty drum or sink. • Washer is overloaded. Do not overload washer. See Washing Procedures. • Load is too small. Add 1 or 2 similar items to help balance the load. • Load is out of balance. Rearrange load to allow proper spinning. • Drain hose is kinked. Straighten drain hose. • Water supply is not adequate in area. Check another faucet in the house. Wait until water supply and pressure increase. • Water supply faucets are not completely open. Fully open hot and cold faucets. • Water is being used elsewhere in the house. Water pressure must be at least 30 psi (260 kPa). Avoid running water elsewhere while washer is filling. • Water inlet hoses are kinked. Straighten hoses. • Hot water heater is set too low or is a distance from washer. Measure hot water temperature at nearby faucet with candy or meat thermometer. Water temperature should be at least 120°F (49°C). Adjust water heater as necessary. • Hot water is being used elsewhere in the house. Avoid using hot water elsewhere before or during washer use. There may not be enough hot water available for proper cleaning. If problem persists, your hot water system may be unable to support more than 1 use at a time. • Drain hose is kinked or clogged. Clean and straighten the drain hose. • House drain pipes are clogged. Unclog drain pipes. Contact plumber if necessary. • Fill hose connection is loose at faucet or washer. Check and tighten hose connections. Install rubber sealing washers provided. • Oversudsing. Use less detergent. • Dispenser drawer is open.

Connect hot water hose to hot water faucet and cold water hose to cold water faucet. • Drain hose standpipe is incorrect height. Standpipe must be a minimum of 23.6" (60 cm) high to prevent siphoning. See INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. 14
