How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the washer before performing internal cleaning.

  • 1. Reduce detergent: Use the minimum HE detergent recommended for your load size and soil level.
  • 2. Run hot maintenance cycle: Run an empty hot cycle with washer cleaner to dissolve residue.
  • 3. Check drain performance: Ensure the washer drains quickly; slow drain can leave lint behind.
