To load clothes properly, place items loosely in the drum without overpacking. Balance loads evenly around the agitator, and avoid wrapping items around it. This helps ensure efficient cleaning and prevents damage.
First, ensure the machine is plugged in and the outlet is functioning. Check if the lid is closed properly and the cycle is selected. Examine the circuit breaker or fuse box to ensure power supply.
This model typically has a self-cleaning filter. However, you can perform a manual clean by running a tub clean cycle with a washing machine cleaner or white vinegar. Refer to your manual for specific instructions.
Excessive vibration can be caused by an unbalanced load. Pause the cycle, redistribute the clothes, and resume. Ensure the machine is level on the floor.
Regularly clean the drum and detergent dispenser, check hoses for wear, and ensure the machine is level. Run a tub clean cycle monthly to prevent residue buildup.
Check the drain hose for clogs or kinks. Ensure the drain pump is functioning properly. Clear any blockages in the filter or pump housing.
High-efficiency (HE) detergents are recommended for optimal performance and to prevent excess suds, which can affect washing efficiency.
Refer to the user manual for specific error code meanings. Common solutions include resetting the machine by unplugging it for a few minutes or checking for blockages in hoses and filters.
Inspect hoses for cracks or loose connections. Check the door seal for damage. Confirm the machine is not overloaded, which can cause water to spill over.
Ensure the correct cycle and water temperature are selected for the load type. Do not overload the machine, and use the recommended amount of detergent. Regular maintenance and cleaning can also enhance performance.
