Possible Causes

Unbalanced loads causing repeated rebalancing, Slow fill due to low pressure, Slow drain due to partial blockage, Oversudsing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer before internal checks.

  • Observe behavior: Note if the washer is repeatedly trying to spin and stopping (unbalance) or taking long to fill/drain.
  • Level and load: Level the washer and load clothes evenly.
  • Check fill and drain: Clean inlet screens and drain pump filter to restore normal flow.
  • Control suds: Use proper HE detergent amounts to prevent oversudsing, which can extend cycles.
