Washing Machine Problems

Check above plug and switch by using an appliance that you know is working somewhere else in the house
• Door/lid not closed – Close properly
Washing Machine Walks (vibrates)
Possible causes and solutions
• Machine not level – adjust “feet”, see instruction booklet
• Washing Machine incorrectly loaded – rearrange washing inside machine
