If you need service or assistance, we suggest you follow these four steps:

l. Before calling for assistance...

Performance problems often result from little things you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind If your washer does not fill:

. Is the power supply cord plugged into a live circuit with the proper voltage?

l Have you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit breaker box?

l Are the water supply hoses kinked? l Is the Cycle Control Knob set and

pulled out? If your washer does not spin: l Is the lid closed? l Is the power supply cord plugged

Into a live circuit with the proper voltage?

9 Have you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit breaker box?

If your washer stops during a cycle: l Remember, the washer pauses

briefly at different times in each cy- cle These pauses are normal.

If your washer fills and drains with- out running: l Make sure that the Cycle Control

Knob is pointing to a number in the cycle.

Make sure the drain hose is higher than the water level in the washer. If it isn’t... 9 The washer may seem to be drain-

ing during wash and rinse CyCleS. l Water can siphon out. [See “Installa-

tion Instructions:‘)

l Are both water faucets open?
