Solution

Water Leaks

Check the following  

for proper installation:

Washer not level.

Water may splash off basket if washer is not level. Check that 

load is not unbalanced or tightly packed.

Fill hoses not attached  

tightly.

Tighten fill-hose connection.

Fill hose washers.

Make sure all four fill hose flat washers are properly seated.

Drain hose connection.

Pull drain hose from washer cabinet and properly secure it to 

drainpipe or laundry tub.
Do not place tape over drain opening.

Check household plumbing  

for leaks or clogged sink or drain.

Water can back up out of a clogged sink or drainpipe. Check all 

household plumbing for leaks (laundry tubs, drain pipe, water 

pipes, and faucets.)

Washer not loaded as recommended. Improper loading can cause basket to be out of alignment and  

cause water to splash off tub. See “Using Your Washer” for 

loading instructions.

Washer not performing as expected

Washer won’t run or fill, 

washer stops working 

or wash light remains 

on (indicating that the 

washer was unable to fill  

appropriately)

Check for proper water supply.

Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to inlet 

valve.
Both hot and cold water faucets must be turned on. 
Check that inlet valve screens have not become clogged.
Check for any kinks in inlet hoses, which can restrict water flow.

To possibly avoid a service call, first try the suggestions listed here or refer to the “Assistance or Service” page.
