Problem Cause
Rinse/Spin
No water flows into
the appliance during
the rinse process.
- Beforerinsing,theappliancespinstodrainoutremaining
water.Thewaterwillfillupafterthat.
Rinsing begins
before the spin
process finishes.
- Theappliancemayhavedetectedanunbalancedload,
whichiscausedbythelaundryshiftingtoonesideof
thedrum,sorinsingstartedautomaticallytocorrectthe
imbalance.
- Afterwashing,excessfoammayremain,sothewateris
drainedoutandrefilledtowashitaway.Thisfeatureis
calledfoamdetection.
During spin-dry,
the drum stops and
rotates several times.
- Thisisnormal;theappliancehasdetectedanunbalanced
loadandistryingtocorrectit.
Foam and water
remain in the door or
door seal.
- Althoughsomefoamandwatermayremaindepending
uponthestateofthelaundryandtheamountofdetergent
used,rinseperformanceisunaffected.
The spin process
repeatedly starts and
stops.
- Thisisnormal;intermittentspinningofthetubhelpsthe
spinprocesstooperatequietly.
- Thelaundrymaybetoolight.Ifso,addoneortwobath
towels.
Time
The displayed
remaining time
changes.
- Theremainingtimeisestimatedandcorrectedcontinually.
Thus,thetimedisplayedmaychange.
- Theremainingtimeincreasesifextrarinsingandspinning
arerequiredtocorrectanunbalancedload,whichis
causedbythelaundryshiftingtoonesideofthedrum.
