Q: What type of detergent dispenser does it have?
A: The dispenser features separate compartments for detergent, bleach, and fabric softener.
Q: How does the Auto water level feature work?
A: When set to “Auto,” the washer detects the load’s size and weight, then adjusts the water level accordingly.
Q: Why isn’t my washer filling with water?
A: Check the following:
- Confirm that both hot and cold water faucets are fully open.
- Inspect hoses to ensure they aren’t kinked or twisted.
- Remove the hoses and clean the inlet valve screens if clogged.
- Make sure the lid is closed—an open lid will stop operation.
- If the washer drains immediately, verify that the standpipe height is at least 36 inches to prevent siphoning.
Q: Why won’t my washer spin?
A: Possible causes include:
- Unbalanced load: Redistribute clothes evenly in the drum and restart.
- Lid switch issue: A broken switch can stop the spin cycle, as it won’t detect the lid is closed.
- Clogged drain pump: Debris may block drainage, leaving water in the tub.
- Worn or broken drive belt: If the motor runs but the drum doesn’t spin, the belt may need replacement.
