Step-by-Step Installation
- Site Preparation: Select a location with proper ventilation, near plumbing and electrical connections on a solid, level floor.
- Remove Shipping Materials: Remove all shipping bolts and packaging materials from the washing machine.
- Connect Water Supply: Connect hot and cold water supply lines to the water inlet valves. Use only new hoses.
- Connect Drain Hose: Route the drain hose into a standpipe with proper height to prevent siphoning.
- Electrical Connection: Connect to a properly grounded 120V, 60Hz, AC only outlet. Ensure proper voltage.
- Level the Washing Machine: Adjust the leveling legs to ensure the washing machine is perfectly level.
- VRT System Calibration: Run calibration cycle to optimize Vibration Reduction Technology performance.
- Test Run: Run the washing machine through diagnostic cycle to check for proper operation.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Excessive vibration | Unbalanced load, improper leveling, VRT system fault | Redistribute load, re-level machine, run VRT calibration |
| Machine won't start | Power issue, door switch failure, control board error | Check power supply, test door switch, reset control board |
| Water not filling | Water valve failure, pressure switch issue, clogged filter | Test water valves, check pressure switch, clean inlet filters |
| Water not draining | Drain pump failure, clogged drain hose, drain filter blockage | Test drain pump, check hose for obstructions, clean filter |
| Error codes displayed | Sensor failure, motor issues, communication errors | Diagnose specific error code, check sensors and wiring |
| Unusual noises | Bearing wear, foreign objects, motor issues | Inspect drum bearings, check for objects, test motor |
Error Codes
- 1E / 2E / 3E: Water supply issues - Check water valves and pressure
- 4E / 5E: Drain issues - Check drain pump and hose
- 9E1: Motor issues - Check motor and control board
- dE / tE: Door lock issues - Check door switch and lock mechanism
