Monthly Maintenance: Run Normal Extra Heavy with 1 cup bleach to clean tub.

Troubleshooting

Vibration or Off-Balance: Level the machine; load evenly; avoid single items or tight packing.
Noises (Clicking, Whirring): Normal during sensing or balancing; check for objects in drain/pump.
Water Leaks: Check hose connections; level machine; proper loading.
Won't Run or Fill: Check water supply, hoses, electrical outlet; close lid fully.
Not Draining or Spinning: Check drain hose height/clogs; unbalanced load; excess suds.
Wet Loads: Low spin speed selected; unbalanced; run Drain/Spin.
Incorrect Water Temperature: Hoses reversed or clogged; energy-saving features.
Not Cleaning Well: Overloading; wrong cycle/temp; excess detergent.
Lid Locked and Won't Open: Wait for spin to stop; pause cycle; hold Cancel for 3 seconds.
Odors: Run monthly clean cycle; unload promptly; use less detergent.
