Q: Why does my washer make loud banging noises while it is filling with water?
A: This is actually a problem with the plumbing in your home. When the water valve in the washer shuts off, it can cause pipes in your home to move, resulting in a loud banging noise. This effect, called water hammer, can be reduced by installing an item called a water hammer arrestor. Add-on arrestors can be purchased through your local hardware or home improvement store.
Q: Why is there so little water in my washer? How can it clean the clothes?
A: HE (High-Efficiency) washers are designed to properly wash your laundry while using a minimum amount of water and energy. Because the water volume is low, the small amount of detergent used is more concentrated in the water, resulting in excellent cleaning performance.
Q: When I press a button, why does my washer beep and then nothing happens?
A: The Control Lock feature is turned on. To turn it off, turn on the washer, then press and hold the button that has Control Lock on or under it for 3 seconds.
Q: Where should I pour the powdered laundry products when doing my laundry?
A: If you are using powdered laundry detergent, load it in the main detergent dispenser after removing the liquid detergent insert. Powdered laundry agents or powdered color safe bleach should be put directly into the drum. These products can be put in the empty drum before loading or on top of the laundry after loading the washer.
