the Inlet Hoses,” page 2-6.

Did you pull the drain hose from the

washer cabinet and install it in a standpipe

washer cabinet and secured to the drainpipe

or laundry tub. See “Connect The Drain

Hose,” page 2-5, and “Secure the Drain

Hose,” page 2-7.

Is the sink or drain clogged?

sink or drainpipe is clogged or slow, water

can back up out of drainpipe or sink.

load?

The wash load should be balanced and not

overloaded. If the wash load is unbalanced

or overloaded, incoming water can deﬂect

off the load.

be properly installed and the nuts tightened.

See “Level the Washer,” page 2-8.
