Problem Possible Causes Solutions
Banging noise when

water (Water Hammer)
y
Plumbing in the home moves or
flexes when the water valves in the
washer shut off.
y
Household water supply pressure is
very high.
y
Water hammer is not caused by a
defect in the washer. Install water
hammer arrestors (purchased
separately at hardware or home
improvement store) between the fill
hose and the washer for best results.

regulator to a lower pressure or
contact a plumber to have a regulator

Strange odors coming
from washer
y
First time using washer
y
Buildup of dirt on gasket or drum,
dirty or clogged drain pump filter,
kinked or clogged drain hose
y
Smell comes from the rubber
attached to the washer door. It will
eventually dissipate after first couple
of wash cycles.

Periodically clean the gasket. Mold and
foreign substances inside the gasket
may produce mildew or musty smells.
y
Clean the drain pump filter regularly.
Foreign substances on the drain
pump filter may produce mildew or
musty smells.
y
If the drain hose is not installed
properly, the odor may be emitted
because of a backflow of drainage
into the tub. Make sure that the drain
hose is not kinked or clogged.
Odor
y
This odor is caused by the rubber
attached to the washing machine.

If the rubber door gasket and door
seal area are not cleaned regularly,
odors can occur from mold or
foreign substances.
y
Odors can occur if foreign substances
are left in the drainage pump filter.

Odors can occur if the drainage hose
is not properly installed, causing
siphoning (water flowing back inside
the washing machine).

occur from lint and other laundry
matter sticking to the heater. (Dryer

drying wet clothes with hot air.

Be sure to clean the gasket and
door seal regularly and check under
the door seal for small items when
unloading the washer.

Be sure to clean the drainage pump
filter regularly.
