What To Do
• Make sure cord is plugged securely into a working outlet.
• Turn both hot and cold faucets fully on.
• Check controls.
• Close lid and reset cycle, to the beginning if necessary.
• Check house circuit breakers/fuses. Replace fuses or
reset breaker. Washer should have a separate outlet.
• Unplug washer, wait 2 minutes, plug back in and press START.
• Press START.
• Call for service.
• This is normal. Estimated time remaining is updated during
fill time.
• When the machine is manually turned off, the shifter will
disengage the motor before completely shutting down.
If lid is raised before the motor is disengaged, it will resume
when lid is closed.
• Washer basket does not have a traditional brake. Basket will
move freely. This is normal.

outside of the basket.

unstable dyes may be indicated.

clothes may retain more lint.
