The washing machine fails to start or respond when the power button is pressed.
Possible causes include an unplugged power cord, a tripped circuit breaker, or an open lid preventing the machine from starting.
Ensure the washer is properly plugged into a working outlet and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Confirm that the lid is securely closed.
The washer finishes the cycle but does not drain water or spin clothes dry.
Drainage issues may stem from a clogged drain hose, a blocked pump filter, or an unbalanced load.
Inspect and clear any clogs in the drain hose and clean the pump filter. Make sure the load is evenly distributed in the drum.
Water is found leaking from the washing machine during or after use.
Leaks may be due to loose or damaged inlet and drain hoses, or a compromised door seal.
Check and tighten hose connections, and inspect hoses for damage. Examine the door seal for any cracks or debris.
The washing machine vibrates excessively or makes noise during operation.
This can occur if the washer is not level or if clothes are not evenly distributed inside the drum.
Adjust the washer's feet to ensure it is level. Redistribute clothes evenly in the drum to balance the load.
The washer does not fill with water at the start of the cycle.
Potential causes include closed water supply valves or clogged inlet screens.
Turn the water supply valves fully open and clean the inlet screens where the hoses connect to the washer.
The washer displays error codes on the control panel.
Error codes can indicate issues such as an unbalanced load, door not closed, or water supply problems.
Refer to the user manual for explanations of specific error codes and follow recommended troubleshooting steps.
Problems with detergent not dispensing properly or residue left on clothes.
Clogged detergent drawer or using non-high-efficiency detergent.
Clean the detergent drawer and ensure only high-efficiency (HE) detergent is used.
Unpleasant smells coming from the washing machine.
Odors can result from mold or mildew buildup inside the drum.
Run a cleaning cycle with washing machine cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and baking soda. Leave the door open after use to allow the drum to dry.
