Why is my washer not working? |
|
(1) Make sure the power cord/cable is plugged into the working electrical
wall socket.
(2) It is better to check the appropriate circuit breakers or fuse of the
fuse box and reset if necessary.
(3) Select the cycle you want by turning the control knob, close the lid
and pull out the knob.
(4) If the washer has feather touch buttons, be sure to press them firmly.
The washer would start. (For the purpose of safety, the lid must be closed
for the washer to stir and/or spin.)
(5) It is possible that the lid switch, that prevents the washer from
spinning when the lid is open, could be malfunctioning. If that happens, a
built-in mechanism – brakes will be applied and washer will stop washer
operations until the lid switch is repaired/replaced.
If you need more assistance, please contact an authorized service
provider.

Why is my washer not spinning or draining? |
|
(1) First check the wash load/laundry. If it is unevenly distributed in
the tub making it unequal, rearrange it, close the lid again.
(2) Make sure your washer is leveled and you have filled sufficient water
in the tub for that size of wash load/laundry. Insufficient water can make
imbalance.
(3) Make sure the power cord/cable is plugged into the working electrical
wall socket.
(4) It is better to check the appropriate circuit breakers or fuse of the
fuse box and reset if necessary.
(5) Inspect the drain hoses and remove any bends. Inspect the drain
system, too - if it's clogged.
(6) Then close the washer lid and pull out the knob to start it. For your
safety, the washer will not spin unless the door is closed.
(7) Excessive foam can also cause this problem. If you find it to be the
solution, rewash the clothes with plain water. For future, ensure use of
correct amount of detergent with low-foam.
(8) It is possible that the lid switch, that prevents the washer from
spinning when the lid is open, could be malfunctioning. If that happens, a
built-in mechanism – brakes will be applied and washer will stop washer
operations until the lid switch is repaired/replaced.
If you need more assistance, please contact an authorized service provider.

Why is my washer making noise? Or Why does my washer shake & vibrate? |
|
(1) Refer to user manual supplied with the washer
(2) Make sure that the washer is leveled properly as explained in the user
manual.
(3) Next, check the leveling legs and the leveling leg lock nuts are
tightened.
(4) Make sure to fill sufficient water in the tub for that size of wash
load/laundry. Insufficient water can make imbalance and then
noise/banging.
(5) Then, ensure the floor supporting the washer is sturdy and properly
supported.
(6) Finally, look inside at the load you're washing. If clothes are
entangled and bundled to one side, they can cause the washer to imbalance
and shake. In rare cases this happens with light loads of clothing.
If you need more assistance, please contact an authorized service provider.

Why are stains
appearing on after washing? |
|
While it is rare for a washer to stain clothes, identifying the specific
source of the stain can be a strenuous task. Stain identification is
complicated as many substances (beverages, foods, cooking oils, medicines,
hair care products, etc.) are clear when they come in contact with the
clothes, then the heat of washing causes it to appear due to oxidation.
The right way to identify stains is to look for evidence, which indicates
the most sensible source. Note following to identify common stains. -
Fabric Softener Stains, Rust Stains, Mildew Stains.
You can also identify stains by noticing certain patterns. More clue in
identifying stains:
Location of the Stain(s), Number of Clothes Stained, Clustered Stains,
Pinched Stains, Colored Stains, and Soil Transfer

Why is fabric
getting damaged in washing machine? |
|
Normally, the damage to
the fabric of varied type due to washing machines is very rare. It can
damage during the washing process. In general, fabric damage is caused
before the item is washed and/or due to oversights in washing procedures.
In many ways clothing can get damaged with holes, tears, apart from …
Due to normal use and wear, fabric-its threads eventually become old that
leads to easily torn under stress. Clothes like towels and bed sheets are
most common in this group. Collars and cuffs of shirts are usually damaged
due to abrasion during normal wear especially with high sweat.
Contact with strong chemicals like undiluted bleaching agents, battery
acid, hydrogen peroxide, hair dyes etc., can result in holes and tears. On
select occasions, the tearing happens over a long time of usage; not
instantly, or after a number of washings as the edges around the holes
become weak and tears without difficulty.
Incorrect use of chlorine-based bleach is also a usual reason of clothes
tearing. Dilute bleach in water as recommended by a manufacturer before
adding to a washing machine without a dispenser. One more care, to add the
bleach before placing clothes into the washtub to avoid spilling it on the
clothes due to error.
Snags in cotton knit wears are unnoticed prior to washing, but creates
small holes after washing or drying/spinning. Zippers and small hooks
especially of ladies wear can also snag so, close all zippers, hooks etc.
Hairpins, ornaments etc. may damage fabrics in the same way. Remove any
such items before washing.
When excessive wash load is placed in washtub, they do not move freely
resulting into undue scratching. For better performance, a washing machine
should be loaded carefully with dry, unfolded clothes, allowing clothes to
freely float in the washtub. Always use adequate quantity of water for a
particular wash load.
Tearing and discoloration can also happen to clothes exposed to sunlight
for a long time and regularly because the fibers become weak due to
sunlight and the stress of washing or even dry-cleaning may cause holes
and tearing. |
