Troubleshooting
Washer not draining/
spinning, loads are
still wet, or spin light
remains on (indicating
that the washer was
unable to pump out
water within ten
minutes).
Using 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/spin speed
for your garments. 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.
Empty pockets and use garment bags for small items.
Small items may have been caught
in pump or between basket and tub,
which can slow draining.
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. Evenly
arrange the wet load for balanced spinning. Select DRAIN
& SPIN to remove excess water. See “Using Your Washer”
for loading recommendations.
