Before You Call for Service
User Warnings
Your washer is capable of diagnosing a number of its own problems. In most cases, your washer will sound a continuous series of beeps and display a code when it has a problem that you can correct yourself. All control panel lights will turn off and the code will be displayed to inform you what the problem is. To stop the beeps, press any button on the control panel. Do not try to continue washing once you stop the noise. You must address the problem the washer is alerting you to.
Check this chart before you call for service.
