Troubleshooting
Washing machine won't start
Check if the power cord is securely plugged in and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Ensure the door is fully closed and latched. Verify that the water supply taps are open. Make sure a wash program has been selected and the 'Start/Pause' button has been pressed.
Water is not draining
Check for kinks in the drain hose. Clean the drain pump filter, located at the bottom front of the machine, as it may be clogged with lint or small items. Ensure the drain hose is not positioned too high.
Excessive noise or vibration during spin cycle
Ensure the machine is perfectly level by adjusting the feet. Make sure all transit bolts were removed during installation. Avoid overloading the machine, and distribute the laundry evenly inside the drum.
Clothes are not clean or have detergent residue
Ensure you are using the correct amount of detergent for the load size and water hardness. Check if the detergent dispenser is clean and not clogged. Select a program appropriate for the soil level of the clothes. Do not overload the machine, as this can prevent proper washing and rinsing.
Machine is leaking water
Check all hose connections (inlet and drain) for tightness and kinks. Inspect the detergent dispenser for blockages or overflows. Examine the door seal for any damage or trapped items.
