**Unbalanced Load**

If the washer load is unbalanced, it can cause excessive vibration and noise during operation. Ensure the load is evenly distributed to prevent such issues

The pump filter may become clogged with debris, preventing proper water drainage. Regular cleaning of the pump filter is necessary to maintain efficient operation
**No Power/Won't Start**

This can be due to the washer being unplugged, water supply turned off, or a tripped circuit breaker. Ensure all connections are secure and reset the circuit if needed
**Bad Odor**

A bad odor inside the washer can occur if it has been unused for a long time, or if the wrong type or amount of detergent is used. Run a Tub Clean cycle and ensure the use of HE detergent specifically
**Leaking Water**

Water leakage can occur if the door gasket is damaged or if fill hoses or the drain hose are improperly connected. Check all seals and hose connections for tightness and proper placement
