To properly load clothes, ensure that you do not overload the drum. Leave enough space for clothes to tumble freely, which typically means filling the drum about three-quarters full. Distribute clothes evenly to maintain balance.
First, check the drain hose for any kinks or blockages. Make sure the drain filter is clean and not clogged. If the issue persists, inspect the pump for obstructions or consider calling a technician.
Remove the dispenser drawer by pulling it out and pressing the release lever. Wash the drawer under warm water to remove detergent residue. Use a soft brush to clean any remaining residue in the dispenser compartment.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the detergent dispenser, checking and cleaning the drain filter, running a tub clean cycle monthly, and wiping the door seal to prevent mold and mildew.
Unusual noises can be caused by an unbalanced load, foreign objects in the drum, or loose parts. Ensure the machine is level and check for any items in the drum that could cause noise. Tighten any loose components if necessary.
Select the 'Delicate' cycle and use cold water to wash delicate fabrics. Use a mesh laundry bag for extra protection and ensure that the spin speed is set to low to minimize wear.
If the door won't open, first check if the machine has completely drained. If not, run a drain cycle. If the issue continues, try unplugging the machine for a few minutes to reset it.
To reduce energy consumption, wash full loads instead of partial loads, use cold water cycles when possible, and choose high-efficiency wash settings. Regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance is also key.
Excessive vibration may be caused by an unbalanced load or an uneven surface. Ensure the machine is level and adjust the leveling feet if necessary. Re-distribute the clothes evenly in the drum.
Ensure that the power cord is properly plugged in and that the circuit breaker is not tripped. Check if the door is securely closed, as the machine won't start if the door is ajar. Confirm that the correct cycle is selected and the start button is pressed.
