How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before removing the detergent drawer for cleaning.

  • Clean dispenser drawer: Remove the detergent drawer and disassemble any removable inserts. Rinse under warm water to clear clogs.
  • Clean dispenser housing: Wipe inside the housing to remove buildup that can restrict water flow.
  • Use correct detergent: Use only HE detergent and follow the recommended dosage. Avoid overfilling compartments.
  • Check water pressure: Ensure inlet screens are clean and household water pressure is adequate for proper rinsing.
  • Avoid overloading: Do not pack the drum tightly; allow space for clothes to tumble and rinse thoroughly.
