How to Fix Common Issues
Door seal leak
Clean the door seal regularly to prevent mold. Replace if torn or leaking. Ensure no objects are caught between the seal and drum.
Drain pump clog
Check the drain hose and filter for clogs. The pump filter is usually behind a small door at the front bottom. Run a drain cycle and listen for the pump.
Error code OE
OE indicates a drain error. Clean the drain pump filter. Check the drain hose for kinks or blockages. Ensure the hose is not too high above the floor.
Drum noise
Check for foreign objects in the drum. Inspect the drum bearings. Worn bearings cause grinding—replacement is complex.
