Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the ezDispense® System, and how should I use it?

A: The ezDispense® system is an automatic dispenser designed for liquid detergent and fabric softener. Do not use powder detergent, color-safe bleach, or overfill past the maximum line, as this can cause clogs or malfunction.

Q: How does the AI Fabric Sensor work?

A: The AI Fabric Sensor automatically detects fabric type and load size, then adjusts the wash motions, temperature, and cycle settings to optimize cleaning performance and protect your clothes.

Q: Why is my washer making loud or unusual noises?

A: Noises—especially during the spin cycle—may be caused by an unbalanced load. Make sure the laundry is distributed evenly, check that the washer is properly leveled, and look for any foreign objects inside the drum.

Q: What does the OE error code mean, and how can I fix it?

A: OE indicates a drainage issue. Clean the drain pump filter to remove any debris, inspect the drain hose for clogs or kinks, and ensure the hose is positioned at the correct height for proper drainage.

Q: What should I do if I get a UE error code?

A: UE means the washer has detected an unbalanced load. Try redistributing the clothes evenly in the drum. If the issue continues, verify that the washer is placed on a level surface.

Q: Why is there buildup in the detergent dispenser?

A: Leaving detergent or softener in the dispenser for long periods can lead to mold and mildew buildup. To prevent this, clean the dispenser drawer regularly, especially if the washer is not used frequently.
