To start a washing cycle, first load your laundry into the drum. Add detergent to the dispenser. Turn on the machine by pressing the power button. Select your desired program using the control dial. Adjust any settings as needed and press the start button to begin the cycle.
If the machine is not draining, check to ensure that the drain hose is not kinked or blocked. Also, inspect the pump filter for any debris and clean it if necessary. Make sure the drain hose is positioned correctly at a suitable height.
To clean the detergent drawer, remove it by pulling it out and pressing the release button. Rinse it under warm water to remove any detergent residue. Use a soft brush to clean any stubborn buildup. Dry it thoroughly before reinserting.
Excessive vibration can be caused by an unbalanced load. Make sure the laundry is evenly distributed in the drum. Check that the machine is level by adjusting its feet. Avoid overloading the machine with too many items.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the detergent drawer and pump filter, inspecting the door seal for mold or debris, and ensuring the drum is clean. Run a maintenance wash monthly using a hot wash cycle with a drum cleaner or vinegar.
To resolve a foul smell, clean the door seal and detergent drawer. Run an empty hot wash with a cup of white vinegar or a specialized washing machine cleaner. Leave the door open after each wash to allow the interior to dry and prevent odors.
If the door won't open, wait a few minutes as the door may be locked due to the safety feature. If it still won't open, try turning off the machine and unplugging it for a few minutes. Ensure that all water has drained from the drum.
To select a delicate wash cycle, turn the program dial to the "Delicates" setting. Adjust any additional settings such as temperature or spin speed as needed. Add detergent and press the start button to begin the cycle.
Load laundry evenly around the drum without overpacking. Mix different types of garments to balance the load. Avoid wrapping items around the agitator or placing too many heavy items in one load. Use the recommended detergent amount for the load size.
If the machine is not starting, ensure it is plugged in and the power outlet is working. Check if the door is closed securely. Verify that the selected cycle is set correctly. If the problem persists, reset the machine by unplugging it for a few minutes and then plugging it back in.
