40 TROUBLESHOOTING Error Codes Problem Possible Cause If the balance is not successful, this error will be displayed. The load is too small. Heavy articles are mixed with lighter items. The load is out of balance. Water supply faucets are not fully open. Water line hoses are kinked, pinched, or crushed. Water inlet filters are clogged. Water supply pressure to faucet or house is too low. Water supply connected with leaklimiting hoses. Drain hose is kinked, pinched, or clogged. Drain discharge is more than 96 inches (2.4 m) above bottom of washer. The Control Lock function is on to prevent anyone from changing cycles or operating the appliance. Special drain feature Solutions ••The automatic attempt to rebalance the load was not successful. The cycle has been paused to allow the load to be manually adjusted. ••Small loads may need additional items to be added to allow the washer to balance the load. ••The load may have heavy items loaded 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. ••Manually redistribute the load if articles have become tangled preventing the automatic rebalancing from working properly. ••Make sure that the water faucets are fully open. ••Make sure that the hoses are not kinked or pinched. Be careful when moving the washer. ••Clean the inlet filters. See Maintenance section. ••Check another faucet in the house to make sure that household water pressure is adequate and flow is not restricted. Disconnect the inlet hose from the washer and run a few gallons of water through the hose to flush the water supply lines. If flow is too low, contact a plumber to have the water lines repaired. ••Hoses designed to limit leaks can trip falsely and prevent the washer from filling. The use of leak limiting hoses is not recommended. ••Make sure the drain hose is free of clogs or kinks and is not pinched behind or under the washer. ••Move the end of the drain hose so it's lower than 96 inches (2.4 m) above the bottom of the washer. ••Turn off Control Lock in the control panel. See Control Lock under Option Buttons. ••If the washer is paused during a cycle for more than 4 minutes, the cycle will be cancelled and any water remaining in the tub will be drained. ••This is not an error code. It indicates that the drain function is operating.
