Possible Causes
Low water pressure, long fill or drain times, excessive suds, unbalanced load retries, heater struggling to reach temperature (if equipped)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the washer before inspecting hoses or internal components.
- Check water pressure: Ensure strong flow from both hot and cold faucets. Clean inlet screens and straighten hoses.
- Clear drain system: Clean the drain pump filter and ensure the drain hose and standpipe are not restricted.
- Reduce detergent: Excess suds can cause extra rinse cycles. Use HE detergent and reduce the amount.
- Balance loads: Avoid single heavy items that cause repeated rebalancing attempts.
