WARNING !
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury
or death to persons when using your washer, follow
these basic precautions:
Read all instructions before using the washer.
Refer to the Grounding Instructions in the Installation
Manual for the proper grounding of the washer.
Do not wash articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or
explosive substances as they give off vapors that
could ignite or explode.
Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other
flammable or explosive substances to the wash
water. These substances give off vapors that could
ignite or explode.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been
used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas is
explosive. If the hot water system has not been used
for such a period, before using a washing machine or
combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot water
faucets and let the water flow from each for several
minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen
gas. The gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an
open flame during this time.
Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when the
washer is used near children. This is a safety rule for
all appliances.
Before the washer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the lid to the washing
compartment.
Do not reach into the washer if the wash tub is
moving.
Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to water and/or weather.
Do not tamper with the controls.
Do not repair or replace any part of the washer, or
attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the User-Maintenance instructions
or in published user-repair instructions that you
understand and have the skills to carry out.
To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, do not
use an extension cord or an adapter to connect the
washer to the electrical power source.
Use your washer only for its intended purpose,
washing clothes.
Always disconnect the washer from electrical supply
before attempting any service. Disconnect the power
cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.
Install the washer according to the Installation
Instructions. All connections for water, drain,
electrical power and grounding must comply with
local codes and be made by licensed personnel
when required. Do not do it yourself unless you know
how!
To reduce the risk of fire, clothes which have traces
of any flammable substances such as vegetable oil,
cooking oil, machine oil, flammable chemicals,
thinner, etc. or anything containing wax or chemicals
such as in mops and cleaning cloths, must not be
put into the washer. These flammable substances
may cause the fabric to catch on fire by itself.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate
static unless recommended by the manufacturer of
the fabric softener or product.
Keep your washer in good condition. Bumping or
dropping the washer can damage safety features. If
this occurs, have your washer checked by a qualified
service person.
Replace worn power cords and/or loose plugs.
Be sure water connections have a shut-off valve and
that fill hose connections are tight. Close the shut-off
valves at the end of each wash day.
Loading lid must be closed any time the washer is in
operational fill, tumble, or spin. Do not attempt to
bypass the loading lid switch by permitting the
washer to operate with the loading lid open.
Always read and follow manufacturers instructions
on packages of laundry and cleaning aids. Heed all
warnings or precautions. To reduce the risk of
poisoning or chemical burns, keep them out of the
reach of children at all times (preferably in a locked
cabinet).
Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied by
the garment manufacturer.
Never operate the washer with any guards and/or
panels removed.
Do not operate the washer with missing or broken
parts.
Do not bypass any safety devices.
Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this
washer according to the manufacturers instructions
may result in conditions which can produce bodily
injury and/or property damage.
NOTE: The Warnings and Important Safety Instructions
appearing in this manual are not meant to cover
all possible conditions and situations that may
occur. Common sense, caution and care must
be exercised when installing, maintaining, or
operating the washer.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or
the manufacturer about any problems or conditions you
do not understand.

About Ground Wires
In the event of an electrical short circuit, a ground wire
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current.
Standard accepted color coding for ground wires is green
or green with a yellow stripe.
Grounding wires and wires colored like grounding wires
are NOT to be used as current carrying conductors.
WARNING !
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury
or death, all wiring and grounding must conform with
the latest edition of the National Electric Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA
C22.1, and such local regulations as might apply. It is
the customers responsibility to have the wiring and
fuses checked by a qualified electrician to make sure
your home has adequate electrical power to operate
the washer.
WARNING !
To avoid personal injury or death from improper servicing,
make sure you read and understand the descriptions and
meaning of various safety symbols, words and labels
used in this manual, before attempting any procedures
described in the manual. Failure to understand and
comply with safety information may result in severe
personal injury or death.

three wire grounding receptacle. Under no condition
is grounding prong to be cut off or removed. It is the
personal responsibility of the consumer to contact a
qualified electrician and have properly grounded three
prong wall receptacle installed in accordance with
appropriate electrical codes.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock or death, this
equipment must be grounded.
This equipment MUST be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric
current. This unit is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or technician if grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the equipment is properly grounded.

key while running a test will pause the individual test,
while remaining in Service Mode. A power loss during
Service Mode will cancel this mode.
Hose Reversal Detection and Correction
The washing machine has diagnostic features that
determine if the hoses are reversed on the first
complete cycle after power up. The control board
monitors water temperatures during the wash cycle.

The control system is capable of detecting hot and cold
water intake hose reversal and will change the fill
temperature as necessary after the first cycle.
The control system stores and retains hot and cold
water intake hose reversal information which is detected
on the first three complete cycles after power up.

The system reverts to factory defaults for the cold and
hot water valves and cancels hose reversal detection if
a diagnostic code 28 has been logged in a cycle.

Special Instructions Water Leak Around Pulley On
Tub Bottom
Water leaking around the pulley on the bottom of the
tub, check the following:

1. Remove the Transmission. The Transmission
should be approx. 1/3 full of oil. The oil in the
Transmission should be thick, similar to a high
viscosity motor oil. Tip the Transmission slightly, the
oil should move slowly. If the Transmission is nearly
full or if the fluid is very thin and moves quickly, the
Transmission has water in it. Replace the
Transmission, O-Ring, Spinner Support, Tub Seal
and Outer Tub.
2. If no water is inside the Transmission, check the
integrity of the O-Ring. Look for signs of water or
rust on and around the Input Shaft. If the O-Ring is
bad or there are signs of water or rust around the
input shaft, replace the spinner support, tub seal
and the outer tub.
3. If there was no water in the Transmission or around
the top of the Input Shaft, it is likely the water was
leaking through the Tub Seal. Replace the Outer
Tub and Tub Seal. Inspect the Spinner Support for
damage around the Tub Seal area. Replace the
Spinner Support if it is damaged.
4. The Clutch Assembly should be inspected for signs
of water or oil contamination. Clean Clutch
Assembly as needed. Replace Clutch Assembly
when water or oil contaminates the roller clutches.
Note: Oil in a new Transmission is clear. During
operation, the oil will turn a dark color caused by the
special compounds in some of the bushings.

completely exit Service Mode. If a cycle is running,
cancel the cycle. Pressing the Start/Pause key while
running a test will pause the individual test, while
remaining in Service Mode. A power loss during Service
Mode will cancel this mode.
Hose Reversal Detection and Correction
The washing machine has diagnostic features that
determine if the hoses are reversed on the first
complete cycle after power up. The control board
monitors water temperatures during the wash cycle.

The control system is capable of detecting hot and cold
water intake hose reversal and will change the fill
temperature as necessary after the first cycle.
The control system stores and retains hot and cold
water intake hose reversal information through a power-
down.

The system reverts to factory defaults for the cold and
hot water valves and cancels hose reversal detection if
a diagnostic code 28 has been logged in a cycle.
See Wrong Water Temperature in the trouble
shooting tips, at the beginning of this document for more
information.

Special Instructions Water Leak Around Pulley On
Tub Bottom

Water leaking around the pulley on the bottom of the tub,
check the following:

1. Remove the Transmission. The Transmission should
be approx. 1/3 full of oil. The oil in the Transmission
should be thick, similar to a high viscosity motor oil.
Tip the Transmission slightly, the oil should move
slowly. If the Transmission is nearly full or if the fluid
is very thin and moves quickly, the Transmission has
water in it. Replace the Transmission, O-Ring,
Spinner Support, Tub Seal and Outer Tub.
2. If no water is inside the Transmission, check the
integrity of the O-Ring. Look for signs of water or rust
on and around the Input Shaft. If the O-Ring is bad
or there are signs of water or rust around the input
shaft, replace the spinner support, tub seal and the
outer tub.
3. If there was no water in the Transmission or around
the top of the Input Shaft, it is likely the water was
leaking through the Tub Seal. Replace the Outer Tub
and Tub Seal. Inspect the Spinner Support for
damage around the Tub Seal area. Replace the
Spinner Support if it is damaged.
4. The Clutch Assembly should be inspected for signs
of water or oil contamination. Clean Clutch Assembly
as needed. Replace Clutch Assembly when water or
oil contaminates the roller clutches.
Note: Oil in a new Transmission is clear. During
operation, the oil will turn a dark color caused by the
special compounds in some of the bushings.
