Step 1
Make sure the cord is plugged in and that the breaker hasn't tripped.
-
Step 2
Reset the overload switch - according to the manufacturer's directions - if the machine won't turn on but the breaker hasn't tripped. (Make sure you take some of the clothes out before you run it again or you'll have the same problem.)
-
Step 3
Check the hot water faucet if the water isn't warm. Also clean the filter screens and make sure that your hot-water heater isn't out of hot water.
-
Step 4
Make sure the faucets are on, the filters are clean and that the hoses aren't kinked if the washer is filling too slowly.
-
Step 5
Clear any obstructions in the hose if the clothes are too wet at the end of a cycle. Also, be sure the washer is spinning; if it isn't, remove some of the clothes and redistribute the load. Reset the overload switch. Tighten the drive belt if this doesn't fix the problem.
-
Step 6
Check the hoses for damage if you are seeing water leaks on the floor.
-
Step 7
Put a nylon stocking on your hand and feel around the inside of the washer if you are finding snagged or torn clothing. Sand rough spots with fine sandpaper.
