Possible Causes Solution
Do not pour liquid chlorine bleach directly onto load. Wipe up
bleach spills.
Undiluted bleach will damage fabrics. Do not use more than
recommended by manufacturer.
Do not place load items on top of bleach dispenser when
loading and unloading washer.
Do not overfill dispenser. Overfilling causes immediate
dispensing.
Always select Fabric Softener option to assure proper dispensing.
Load dispensers before starting a cycle.
It is normal for small amounts of water to be remain in dispenser
at the end of the cycle.
Homes with low water pressure may result in residual powder
in the dispenser. To avoid, select a warmer wash temperature if
possible, depending on your load.
Use only liquid chlorine bleach in the bleach dispenser.
Be sure laundry packet is added to washer basket before
adding clothes. Do not add packet to dispenser. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions to avoid damage to your garments.
If an overload is detected, the washer will drain any water and
detergent in the washer. Remove several items and add HE
detergent. Close lid and press START/PAUSE.
Allow the washer to continue. If the dial is flashing and the
washer has stopped, redistribute the load, close the lid, and
press START/PAUSE.
Check plumbing for correct drain hose installation. Use drain
hose form and attach securely to drainpipe or tub. Do not tape
over drain opening. See Installation Instructions.

This code will appear at the end of the wash cycle to indicate
that cold water hose is connected to the hot water inlet and hot
water hose is connected to the cold water inlet.
Allow the washer to continue. Use only HE detergent.
Always measure detergent, and base detergent quantity on
load size. Follow detergent manufacturer's instructions. If the
dial is flashing, reselect your desired cycle using a cold wash
temperature, and press START/PAUSE. Do not add detergent.
Check for items directly under the lid.
Close the lid to clear the display. If the lid is left open for more
than 10 minutes, the cycle will reset and water in the washer
will drain.

the washer.
