Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your washer. Ensure the appliance is installed on a solid, level surface and that all connections are secure.
Unpacking and Location
- Remove all packaging materials, including the base packaging and any internal packing.
- Choose a location with adequate space, a grounded electrical outlet, and access to hot and cold water supply lines.
- Ensure the floor is strong enough to support the washer's weight, especially when filled with water and laundry.
- Product Dimensions (WxHxD): 27" x 44 1/2" x 28 3/8" (57 1/4" H with lid open). Allow additional space for water hoses and proper ventilation.
Connecting Water Hoses
Connect the hot and cold water inlet hoses to the corresponding valves on the back of the washer and to your household water supply. Ensure rubber washers are inserted into the hose connectors to prevent leaks.

Leveling the Washer
Use a level to ensure the washer is perfectly level from front to back and side to side. Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the washer as needed. A properly leveled washer reduces noise and vibration during operation.
Electrical Connection
The washer requires a 120V @ 60Hz electrical supply. Ensure the outlet is properly grounded and meets local electrical codes.
Operating Instructions
Familiarize yourself with the control panel and various wash cycles to optimize your laundry experience.

Loading Laundry

Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your washer. For more complex problems, refer to the ThinQ app's SmartDiagnosis™ feature or contact customer support.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Washer does not start | Power cord unplugged; Door not closed properly; Control Lock activated. | Ensure power cord is securely plugged in; Close the lid firmly; Deactivate Control Lock. |
| Washer vibrates or is noisy | Washer not level; Shipping bolts not removed; Overloaded or unbalanced load. | Adjust leveling feet; Ensure all shipping bolts are removed (if new installation); Redistribute laundry evenly in the drum. The TrueBalance™ Anti-Vibration System helps, but proper loading is key. |
| Water leaks | Loose hose connections; Clogged drain hose; Too much detergent causing oversudsing. | Check and tighten all water hose connections; Clear any obstructions from the drain hose; Use only recommended amounts of HE (High Efficiency) detergent. |
| Clothes are still wet after spin cycle | Overloaded drum; Unbalanced load; Drain hose kinked or clogged. | Reduce load size; Redistribute load; Check drain hose for kinks or blockages. |
SmartDiagnosis™
