Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Washer Not Draining**
The washer may fail to drain properly due to a clogged or kinked drain hose, or issues with the drain pump. Regular inspections and cleanings can help prevent clogs -
**Door Seal Mold or Odors**
Over time, mold and odors can develop in the door seal due to detergent residues and moisture. Regular cleaning of the seal and running a cleaning cycle can mitigate this issue -
**Vibration and Noise During Spin Cycle**
The washer may vibrate excessively if it is not level or if the load inside is unbalanced. Ensuring the washer is on a solid, even surface and distributing clothes evenly can reduce vibration -
**Dryer Not Heating**
If the dryer is not heating, check that the vent is not blocked and that the heating element is functioning. It is essential to ensure proper airflow and to investigate any electrical issues -
**Lint Buildup in Dryer**
Lint can accumulate in the dryer interior and vent, leading to inefficient drying times. Regular cleaning of the lint screen and vent is important for maintaining optimal performance

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Use the washer's High Efficiency (HE) detergent to reduce excessive sudsing and use the correct amount to avoid accumulating detergent residues.
- Select warm or hot water for occasional washes as it helps control soil and detergent accumulation, enhancing energy efficiency.
- Clean the lint screen in the dryer before every load to maintain optimal airflow and reduce drying time, which saves energy.
- Replace vent materials with rigid metal vents and ensure the vent path is as short and straight as possible to improve airflow and energy efficiency.
- Regularly perform routine maintenance on the washer by cleaning the door seal and running the washer cleaning cycle to ensure it remains efficient and avoids using more energy than necessary.
- Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable substances. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
