Normal washer operation. Lid must be closed for washer to run.

Washer may be tightly packed. Remove several items, rearrange load evenly in basket, and add
detergent. Close lid and press START/Pause.
Do not add more than 1 or 2 additional items after cycle has started
to avoid tightly packing or unbalancing.
Washer not draining/

out water within 10 minutes
Small items may have been caught
in pump or between basket and tub,
which can slow draining.
Empty pockets and use garment bags for small items.
Use a cycle with a low spin speed. Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles
with high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/speed spin for
your garment. To remove extra water in the load, select Drain & Spin.
Load may need to be rearranged to allow even distribution of the
load in the basket.
The washer may be tightly packed
or unbalanced.
Tightly packed or unbalanced loads may not allow the washer
to spin correctly, leaving the load wetter than normal, leading
to longer cycle times and longer dry times. Evenly arrange the
wet load for balanced spinning. Select the Drain & Spin cycle
to remove excess water. See “Using Your Washer” for loading
recommendations.
