section.
• Make sure that the water taps are open fully.
• Make sure the hoses are not kinked or pinched. Be
careful when moving the washer.
• Clean the inlet filters. See the Care and Cleaning
section.
• Check another faucet in the house to make sure that
household water pressure is adequate.
• Make sure that the plug is plugged securely into a
grounded, 3-prong, 120-VAC, 60-Hz. outlet.
• 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.
• Make sure that the door is closed properly and press
the START/PAUSE button. After starting a cycle, it
may take a few moments before the drum begins to
turn or spin. The washer will not spin unless the door
is locked (DOOR LOCK will appear in the display).

detergent in
accordance
with the manufacturer's
instructions.
• Run the TUB CLEAN cycle regularly. Be sure to wipe
around and under the door seal frequently.
• Because it uses pressurized steam, the washer
requires very small amounts of steam to achieve
optimal results. Excess steam could damage fabrics
and reduce efficiency.
