What To Do
. Plug the unit into the wall outlet. Check for proper voltage.
• Check fuse or reset circuit breaker.
• Push any key to turn on the washer and press the Start/Pause key to run the
washer.
• Close door and push the Start/Pause key to run the washer.
• Check if washer is in a pause, soak or suds process.
Wait briefly and it may start.
(If the washer is in suds period, Suds will light up instead of remaining time.)

Problem
Fills with the
wrong temperature water.
What To Do
.Turn both faucets on fully
. Make sure temperature selection is correct.
. Make sure hoses are connected to correct faucets. Flush water lines.
. Check the water heater. It should be set to deliver a minimum 120℉(49℃)
hot water ate the tap. Also check water heater capacity and
recovery rate.
. Disconnect hoses and clean screens Hose filter screens may be plugged.
. As your Washer is filling, the water temperature may change as
the automatic temperature control feature checks incoming water
temperature. This is normal.
. While your Washer is filling, you may notice just hot and/or just
cold water going through the dispenser when cold or warm wash
temperatures are selected. This is a normal function of the automatic
temperature control feature as you Washer determines the temperature of
the water.

• Perform Quick Test Mode or Board Output Test to drain.
• Use HE (High-Efficiency) or low sudsing detergent specially formulated
for front load washers.
• Reduce the amount of detergent for that specific load size and soil level.
Keep in mind that towel creates more suds generally.
• Reduce the amount of detergent when water is soft,
or laundry is small or lightly soiled.
• Do one more washing cycle with cold water and a table spoon of salt
without detergent.

5-6. Q & A
Q. When I went back to my washer, it was
turned off. What happened?
A. Power button may have been accidentally bumped or pushed.
Reset the cycle and start the washer. Make sure the unit is
plugged into a live electrical outlet. Check house fuse or
circuit breaker.
Q. The washer door gets locked after a
power failure. How can I open it?
A. If the power fails while the door is locked, the door will remain
locked until the power comes back on. If the power comes
back on while the door is still locked, the cycle will resume
where it left off. If the door is unlocked, “PF” will display and
the washer will pause. Press Power Off and restart the cycle.
Q. The washer door does not unlock when
there is water in the tub. How can I
open it?
A. The water must be drained from the tub for the door to be
opened. Set the rotary dial to Spin Only and press the
Start/Pause dial. The door will open 2-3 seconds after the
Spin or Drain cycle is completed.
