Lumps of detergent were put in the case or the detergent was put in the wet
detergent case.

accumulate. Clean the fi lter. (P.44)
Detergent, softener or water remain in the detergent case.
→Clean the detergent case.
→Turn on the water faucet further, and increase the amount of water supply.
→Depending on the brand, some softeners may be diffi cult to fl ow. Dissolve
the softener with the same amount of water completely and put in the
compartment. (Softeners of some brands are solidifi ed when mixed with a
small amount of water and cannot be used.)
In the “Soak” program, small amount of softener may remain. This is not a
malfunction.
Softener is stuck to the detergent case.
→Remove the cover and clean the tube of the case with a soft cloth or cotton-
tipped stick.

Symptoms Check the following.
Bubble
Not many bubbles
are formed.
The powder detergent was directly put in the drum.
→Be sure to put it in the powder detergent compartment of the detergent case.
(P.20)
Bubble may be less depending on the type of detergent (low suds type),
detergent amount, water quality and water temperature.
Bubble may be less when the mount of laundry is large or the laundry is heavily
soiled.
Excessive bubbles
are formed.
(Bubbles are attached
inside the door, etc.)
Depending on the type of detergent (liquid delicate detergent, etc.), detergent
amount, water quality, water temperature and how soiled the laundry is, many
bubbles remain on the door. This is not a malfunction.
→Reduce the amount of detergent, or increase the number of rinses.
Wash
Water is not
supplied
The water faucet is not turned on.
Water or water supply hose is frozen.
The water supply is cut off .
The fi lter of the connection of the water supply hose is clogged with dust.
→Clean the water supply fi lter. (P.44)
If there are excessive bubbles, water supply may temporarily stop.
When using little amount of water, water may not be seen even if it is supplied.
Water is supplied in
the middle.
When the water level goes down, water is supplied automatically.
With large amount of laundry, water may be supplied several times.
Water is drained in
the middle.
If there are excessive bubbles, “water discharge → water supply” is
repeated and bubbles are removed.
The “Intensive” program drains water in the middle of the “Wash” cycle.
This prevents stains from reattaching.
It the “Tub Clean” program is operated using a washer-tub cleaner containing
surface acting agent, excessive bubbles may be formed, causing water to drain
in the middle of operation.
Do not open the door and pour water or hot water. Water may not be saved and
drained instead.
A small amount of water may be drained when the operation restarts.
