TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING The appliance is equipped with an automatic error-monitoring system to detect and diagnose problems at an early stage. If the appliance does not function properly or does not function at all, check the following before you call for service. Washer FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions Q: Why does my washer make loud banging noises while it is filling with water? A: This is actually a problem with the plumbing in your home.
TROUBLESHOOTING 45 Problem Possible Cause & Solution The load is too small. UNBALANCE ERROR • 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING Noises Problem Clicking Possible Cause & Solution Door lock sounds when the door locks or unlocks. • Normal operation Spraying or hissing Water spraying or circulating during the cycle • Normal operation Humming or Gurgling Drain pump is pumping water from the washer at times during a cycle. Water sloshing A liquid in the balance ring around the pulsator helps the basket spin smoothly.
TROUBLESHOOTING 47 Operation Problem Hoses are not connected correctly. • Check hoses and connectors for leaks, cracks, and splits. • Check and tighten hose connections. House drain pipes are clogged. • The washer pumps out water very rapidly. Check for water backing up out of the drain pipe during drain. If water is seen coming out of the drain, check for proper drain hose installation and check for restrictions in the drain. • Contact a plumber to repair drain pipe.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Incomplete or no dispensing of detergent Possible Cause & Solution 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING 49 Problem Washer is not filling properly. Possible Cause & Solution Filter is clogged. Inlet hoses may be kinked. • Check that inlet hoses are not kinked or clogged. Energy efficiency • This is a High-Efficiency (HE) washer. As a result, the water level settings for this washer may be different than for conventional washer. Insufficient water supply • Make sure that both hot and cold water faucets are turned on all the way. Washer door is open.
TROUBLESHOOTING Performance Problem Wrinkling Possible Cause & Solution Washer is not unloaded promptly. • Always remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle is complete. Washer is overloaded. • The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum should not be tightly packed with items. The door of the washer should close easily. Hot and cold water inlet hoses are reversed. • Hot water rinse can set wrinkles in garments. Check the inlet hose connectors. Staining Bleach or softener dispensed too soon.
TROUBLESHOOTING 51 Odor Problem Some odor is caused by the rubber attached to the washing machine. • This odor is normal for new rubber and will disappear after the machine has been run a few times. If the rubber door gasket and door seal area are not cleaned regularly, odors can occur from mold or foreign substances. • Be sure to clean the gasket and door seal regularly and check under the door seal for small items when unloading the washer.
TROUBLESHOOTING Dryer FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions Q: When I press a button, why does my dryer beep and then nothing happens? A: The Control Lock feature is turned on. To turn off Control Lock, turn the dryer on, then press and hold the button that has Control Lock on or under it for 3 seconds. Q: Why does my dryer take so long to dry clothes? A: Proper airflow is critical to the efficient operation of clothes dryers.
TROUBLESHOOTING 53 Operation Problem Possible Cause & Solution After clearing the restrictions, the Flow SenseTM (W) system requires multiple, consecutive cycles to determine that the performance value has improved before the Clothes take too long to dry. Exhaust ducts are blocked, dirty, or duct run is too long. Flow SenseTM (W) indicator is reset. • If the Flow SenseTM (W) indicator remains active for more than five cycles after the restriction has been cleared, call for service.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem The appliance does not heat. Possible Cause & Solution 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 electrician. Gas supply or service is turned off. • Confirm that the house gas shutoff and the shutoff valves of the dryer are both fully open.
TROUBLESHOOTING 55 Problem Lint on clothes. Possible Cause & Solution Lint filter not cleaned properly. Laundry not sorted properly. • Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a fuzzy white cotton towel) and should be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (i.e., a pair of black linen pants). Excess static in clothes. • Use a fabric softener to reduce static electricity. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible Cause & Solution Steam is not visible during Steam cycle. This is normal. Drum does not turn during Steam cycle. This is normal. Cannot see steam vapor at the beginning of cycle. This is normal. • Steam vapor is difficult to see when the door is closed. However, condensation will normally form on the inside of the dryer door if the steam system is operating normally. • The drum is turned off so that the steam vapor remains in the drum.
TROUBLESHOOTING 57 Common Wi-Fi Trouble connecting appliance and smartphone to Wi-Fi network Possible Cause & Solution The password for the Wi-Fi network was entered incorrectly. • Delete your home Wi-Fi network and begin the connection process again. Mobile data for your smartphone is turned on. • Turn off the Mobile data on your smartphone before connecting the appliance. The wireless network name (SSID) is set incorrectly.
