General Troubleshooting
-
1
Check the washer's power cord to make sure it's plugged into the wall. Check your fuse panel to make sure the breaker is turned on. Replace the fuse if needed to get the breaker working again.
-
2
Do not overload your washer. This may be your issue if the clothing not coming out clean or dingy. Add enough detergent to the load --- and add a little more if you are cleaning a large load.

3
Run a load of hot water and one cup of vinegar if you smell mildew or must from the washer.
Washer Is Vibrating Or Noisy
-
4
Use a level to check the washer's leveling. If the washer is not level, the washer will vibrate while a load is washing. Put the level on each side of the washer to check the leveling. If the washer is not level, adjust the feet on the bottom of the washer until it's level.

5
Make sure that the floor is level in your laundry room. If the floor is not level in your laundry room, consider moving the washer to a different place in the room. Repair the floor to make it level if needed.
-
6
Check the inside of the washer's basket to make sure there are no foreign objects. Coins, pens, and toys can fall out of clothing pockets and rattle around in the basket.
-
7
Go to the back of the unit and remove the four shipping bolts from the unit. These should have been removed when the washer was installed, but they may not have. These keep the basket in place while shipping, but are not made for general use.
Washer Is Leaking
-
8
Look at the drain hose coming out of the washer. The drain hose is used to carry the water out of the washer basket and into the drainpipe in your laundry room. Make sure this isn't clogged. If it is clogged, the washer will leak water.
-
9
Check over the water hose connections on the back of the washer. Use a pair of channel locks to tighten the connections if they are leaking water.
-
10
Tighten the connections on the faucets coming from the laundry room. These faucets are used to bring water into the water hoses. If they are loose, the faucets will leak water.
