If the washer door is open, the washer's cleaning cycle will stop in order to prevent property damage or injuries caused by a running machine. To restart the washer, close the door and press the "Start/Pause" button on the front of the washer.
If your home's main power supply line fails, your washer will stop, leaving the water in the washer drum. Reset the power on your home's circuit breaker to restore the washer's power. The washer will continue from the cycle it stopped at.
A clog in the washer's drain will prevent the washer from properly draining water and detergent from the washer's drum. The washer's performance will decrease as the clog worsens. Manually setting the cycle to drain slowly will remove the water in the washer. Remove your clothing, and then remove detergent residue from the appliance's drain hose.
The drain hose connected to your washer may be positioned too high, which will restrict proper water flow during your washer's draining process. The washer's drain hose should be no more than 8 feet high to ensure proper drainage.
