Possible Causes
Solution
Feet may not be in contact with the
oor and locked.
Front and rear feet must be in rm contact with oor, and washer
must be level to operate properly. Jam nuts must be tight
against the bottom of the cabinet.
Check oor for exing or sagging. If ooring is uneven, a 3/4"
(19 mm) piece of plywood under your washer will reduce sound.
See “Level the Washer” in the “Installation Instructions”.
Load could be unbalanced.
Load dry items in loose heaps evenly around basket wall.
Adding wet items to washer or adding more water to basket
could unbalance washer.
Avoid washing single items. Balance a single item such as a
rug or jeans jacket with a few extra items. If the dial is ashing,
redistribute the load, close the lid, and press START/PAUSE.
Use Bulky Items cycle for oversized, non-absorbent items
such as comforters or poly-lled jackets. Other items are
not appropriate for Bulky Items cycle. See “Cycle Guide”.
Item or load not suitable for selected cycle. See “Cycle Guide”
and “Using Your Washer” in this “Use and Care Guide”.
Empty pockets before washing. Loose items such as coins
could fall between basket and tub or may block pump.
It may be necessary to call for service to remove items.
Washer not level.
Water may splash off basket if washer is not level.
Fill hoses not attached tightly.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Vibration, rocking, or
“walking”
Not enough water
in washer
Load not completely covered
in water.
This is normal operation for an HE low-water washer. The load will
not be completely underwater. The washer senses load sizes and
adds correct amount of water for optimal cleaning. See “What’s
New under the Lid.”
IMPORTANT: Do not add more water to washer. The added water
lifts the load off the impeller, resulting in less cleaning.
Washer not performing as expected
Washer may not be level.
Vibration or Off-Balance
Vibration during spinning
or washer stopped with
all dial lights ashing
Humming
You may hear the hum of the sensing spins after you have started
the washer. This is normal. Sensing spins will take several minutes
before water is added to the washer.
The washer is sensing the
load size.
