Safety Checks You Can Do

Steps you can try at home safely

• Check the circuit breaker: Verify the breaker controlling the washer is in the ON position. If tripped, turn OFF then ON again and attempt to restart the washer • Unplug the washer for 60 seconds: Turn off the circuit breaker or unplug the unit, wait one full minute, then restore power and attempt to run a cycle to reset the control board • Verify the door or lid is fully closed: Firmly close the washer door or lid until you hear it latch completely, as incomplete closure prevents operation • Check water supply valves: Confirm both hot and cold water supply valves behind the washer are turned fully ON (turn counterclockwise until they stop) • Inspect the drain hose: Verify the drain hose is not kinked, pinched, or clogged; straighten any bends and ensure proper drainage into the standpipe or utility sink • Reduce laundry load size: Remove some items from the washer if it appears overloaded, as excessive loads can cause sensor communication errors • Review control panel settings: Ensure all selections are appropriate for your load type and that the washer is not in a special diagnostic or test mode • Check for water supply: Run a test cycle and listen for water filling sounds; if no water enters the tub, verify valves are open and hoses are not frozen (in cold climates) • Ensure proper electrical connection: Verify the washer is plugged securely into a working 120V outlet and that no visible damage is present to the power cord
