PROBLEM 1:
Washer Does Not Spin/and
or Drain
SOLUTION :
If your washing machine does not spin
and or drain, please perform the following:
- Make sure the door is fully closed. For your safety, the washer will not spin unless the door is closed and locked.
- Check your fuse and reset your circuit breaker if needed.
- Make sure the electrical
voltage is normal.
- Make sure the washing
machine is plugged in.
- Make sure the drain
hose is pointed downward. (Natural drain models only)
- Make sure the drain
hose is not clogged.
- Make sure the drain
hose is not kinked.
- Straighten the
drain hose. If there is a drain restriction, call for service.
- Close the door, and
then press or tap START/PAUSE. For your safety, the washing machine will
not spin unless the door is closed.
- Make sure that the washer is not overloaded.
- For washers with a debris filter, follow these steps.
- Locate the debris filter access panel.
- Open the access panel, and then clean the debris filter.

- Check the drain hose for kinks.
- Make sure that the drain hose does not form an airtight connection in the standpipe. It cannot be inserted more than 6 inches.
- If the drain hose is pushed in too far and/or an airtight connection is made, a siphoning effect will force water and air back into the washer.

- Make sure the washer is level.
*If the washer still does not drain, it will require service. |
