Washer Problems and Troubleshooting
Drainage, spin cycles, leaks, and starting problems. Choose the symptom that best describes what you see. A guide helps narrow safe checks and prepare questions; it does not diagnose a part from a symptom alone.

Find the Right Symptom
Separate retained water from wet clothes after draining, starting problems from mid-cycle stops, and severe vibration from normal spin sounds.
Before You Try a Check
Use only accessible controls and maintenance described by the manual. Do not open panels, bypass safety devices, or test live circuits. Record the model and symptom before requesting help.
