GE GTW680 (01) PDF MANUAL

To reduce the risk of death, fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

● Read all instructions before using the appliance.

● DO NOT wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

● DO NOT add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

● Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using a washing machine, turn on all hot-water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, DO NOT smoke or use an open flame during this time.

● DO NOT allow children to play on or in this appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when this appliance is used near children. Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door or lid. Failure to follow these instructions may result in death or injury to persons.

● DO NOT reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is moving to prevent accidental entanglement.

● DO NOT install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.

● DO NOT tamper with controls, repair or replace any part of this appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user maintenance instructions or in published user repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

● DO NOT operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or broken parts including a damaged cord or plug.

● Unplug the appliance or turn off the circuit breaker before servicing. Pressing the Power button DOES NOT disconnect power.

● See “Electrical Requirements” located in the Installation Instructions for grounding instructions.

This washer must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.

● Ensure that the hot water hose is connected to the “H” valve and the cold water hose is connected to the “C” valve.

● Install or store where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to the weather, which could cause permanent damage and invalidate the warranty.

● Properly ground washer to conform with all governing codes and ordinances. Follow details in Installation Instructions.

● Ensure washer is properly leveled and washer legs are adjusted such that unit is stable.

● An optional drain hose extension is recommended for discharging heights from 60” – 96”.

Any time the washer is being started or restarts after the washer lid has been opened and closed, the washer will turn on the cold water valve for two short periods followed by a 10 second pause before continuing.

If the lid is opened during this period, the washer will pause. You will have to push the Start button again to restart the cycle.

Turn off water faucets to minimize leakage if a break or rupture should occur. Check the condition of the fill hoses; GE recommends changing the hoses every 5 years.

Step 1

● Add fabric softener to the fabric softener dispenser.

● Add the manufacturer’s recommended amount of detergent. GE recommends the use of High Efficiency detergents such as he in your energy efficient washer. Place detergent pods in the bottom of the wash basket before adding clothes.

Step 2

● Loosely add items around Infusor. Overloading may negatively impact wash performance.

● Close lid.

NOTE: Washer will not start with lid open.

Step 3

● Select wash cycle.

● Select wash options, including Deep Rinse option when using fabric softener.

● Select options.

Step 4

● Press Start.

Power

Press to “wake up” the display. If the display is active, press to put the washer into idle mode.

NOTE: Pressing Power does not disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

Start/Pause

Press Start to begin the cycle. NOTE: The lid must be closed for the washer to start the cycle. If the lid is open, “Lid” will scroll across the display. If the lid is closed, the lid will lock, the Lid Lock light will illuminate, and “SEnSing” will scroll across the display.

Pressing Pause will unlock the lid (if locked at that time), pause the cycle and the Start indicator light will blink.

To continue the cycle, press Start again. If machine is paused more than 24 hours, the cycle will be cancelled. If water remains in the machine, select the Drain & Spin cycle to drain basket and spin water out of the washer basket.

Display and Status Lights

The display shows the approximate time remaining until the end of the cycle.

NOTE: The cycle time is affected by how long it takes the washer to fill. This depends on the water pressure in your home. The size of the load being washed also significantly impacts cycle time, with larger loads taking longer.

In addition, this display will, “scroll” the washer status:

● BALANCING – Start of rebalancing cycle to redistribute clothes. Stops after rebalancing is complete.

● DELAY – When Delay Wash is initiated. Replaced with estimated time when cycle starts.

● End – End of current cycle.

● FILL – For the first 45 seconds of a fill, the estimated end of cycle time is displayed. For the rest of the fill time, “FILL” is scrolled until the fill completes.

● H2O SUPPLY – Can not sense water level (valves possibly turned off).

● Lid – Cycle stopped because lid is open. Close the lid.

● SEnSing – Sensing load size and type before and during fill (normal).

● PAUSE – Cycle paused because the Start/Pause button was pressed and the washer was set to Pause. Press Start button again to restart the cycle.

Cycle status lights:

Shows whether the washer is in the Delay, Fill, Soak, Wash, Rinse or Spin portion of the cycle.

Feature status lights indicate:

● Pause – Will display when washer is paused between cycles.

● Controls – The washer is locked – will blink once if you press any button or turn the cycle knob.

● Lid Lock – The lid is locked. See the Control Lock description.

● Spin Stop – Indicates wash basket is coasting to a stop following spin. Lid will not unlock until basket has fully come to a stop.

The wash cycle controls the type of washing process. The cycle selector knob can be turned in either direction. Turning the knob after starting a cycle will stop the washer and change the cycle/options to the new selection. Press Start to begin the new cycle selection. Selections and options shown in bold are default settings for that cycle. Some cycles and options may not be available on some models.

The Sanitize with Oxi cycle, when using an Oxi additive along with your detergent, is designed to remove 99.9% of bacteria found in home laundry. Measure the detergent and the Oxi products carefully. Using the amounts appropriate for a large heavily soiled load, follow the detergent and the Oxi product label instructions. The detergent should be added using the dispenser instructions as shown in the manual. Place the Oxi product directly in the bottom of the wash basket, before adding the clothes. The washer hot water supply connection must provide a minimum of 120°F to ensure the effectiveness of this cycle.

NOTE: The default Sanitize With Oxi cycle water temperature can NOT be changed.

The Stain Removal Guide feature allows you to indicate what stains are on the garments in your load. This feature incorporates a patent pending treatment method. An initial water fill is performed at a temperature tailored to the stain type selected and to an amount which enables a concentrated cleaning step. A stain scrubbing period, followed by an active soak, is conducted to effectively treat the stain. Then additional water is added to the selected temperature and the wash phase is conducted for the cycle selected.

This feature can be applied to most wash cycles as described in the cycle guide.

To use Stain Removal Guide:

1. Select the desired wash cycle.

2. Press the Stain Removal Guide button.

Continue to press to select Tomato stain, Wine stain, Blood stain, Grass stain or Dirt stain. The indicator light will show the selected stain. To select a different stain, press the Stain Removal Guide button until desired stain to be removed is lit.

To turn off Stain Removal Guide, press until no indicator lights are illuminated.

NOTE: The Soil and Temperature levels will be changed to match the recommended default setting for each stain type. Turning off Stain Removal Guide will return the settings to default.

● Recommended temperatures are optimal for stain removal performance; adjust temperature selection to suit load being washed.

● Ensure stain is completely removed after wash cycle and before placing in dryer; very tough stains may require a second treatment.

Settings

Individual settings for agitation (Soil), water temperature (Temp), and spin (Spin) can be set from the minimum (lowest in column) to maximum (highest in column). In general, the higher up the column, the more washer energy will be used.

NOTE: Longer Spin times typically reduce dryer time/energy usage (i.e. reduces total energy when using both a washer and a dryer).

Cycle Options

● Deep Fill: Select the Deep Fill feature for loads where extra water is needed. Press the Deep Fill button once before starting the cycle to add an incremental amount of water to the wash load. Holding the Deep Fill button for 3 seconds will provide the deepest fill level possible; this will increase cycle time due to the additional time it takes to fill the washer. To cancel the option if desired, press the Deep Fill button again.

● Warm Rinse: Provides a warm rinse to your wash load. Note that rinsing operations may be different with this operation selected in order to effectively apply the warm rinse water to your load.

● Auto Soak: This option begins with a brief agitation, soaks for a specified period of time, then moves through the rest of the cycle automatically. Repeated pressing of the Soak button will scroll through 15 minute, 30 minute, 1 hour, 2 hour, 4 hour and 8 hour selections and then return back to 0 soak minutes.

● Deep Rinse: Set this option to provide a deep rinse or when using fabric softener. It may change other settings (e.g. Spin may go to a higher setting) to maximize performance. NOTE: Do not use fabric softener dispensing balls with this washer. They do not work correctly in high efficiency washers.

● Delay Wash: When the Delay Wash button is repeatedly pressed, the delay time is set from 1 (01H) to 9 (09H) hours and back to clear (00H) hours. If you press and hold the Delay Wash button for 3 seconds, it will immediately reset.

● Extra Rinse: When you use extra detergent or bleach to clean heavily soiled clothes, use the Extra Rinse option to better remove additional residues. NOTE: This option is not allowed for some cycles.

My Cycle Settings

As the cycle selector knob is turned, the Temp, Soil and Spin settings change to automatic pre-set default settings for each cycle. If you desire different default settings, select the desired options or changes to the cycle settings, then press and hold the My Cycle button for 3 seconds to store them. The My Cycle button will light when active. In the future, when you turn the selector knob to that cycle, your settings will be automatically recalled. To restore the factory defaults temporarily (i.e. for this load), press the My Cycle button for 1/2 second. The My Cycle light will turn off and the factory defaults will load. However, the next time you select this cycle, your My Cycle settings will load. If you wish to permanently restore the factory default settings for the cycle; when the My Cycle is active (button light on) press and hold the My Cycle button for 3 seconds. The factory defaults will load for the selected cycle and the My Cycle light will turn off. The default settings will load when this cycle is selected in the future and the My Cycle light will remain off. NOTE: My Cycle saves the following options: Temp, Soil, Spin, Extra Rinse, Deep Fill, Warm Rinse, Auto Soak, Deep Rinse and Stain Removal Guide.

Volume

Use the Volume button to change the volume of the end of cycle signal and other system tones. Press the button until you reach the desired volume (high, medium, low) or off.

Control Lock

Use the control lock before or during a cycle to prevent any selections from being made. To lock/unlock the washer controls, press and hold the Warm Rinse and Auto Soak buttons for 3 seconds. The control lock icon will light up when it is on. NOTE: The Power button can still be used when the machine is locked.

Using too little or too much detergent is a common cause of laundry problems.

Use less detergent if you have soft water, a smaller load or a lightly soiled load.

For spots, apply pre-treatment to items as recommended on the product label. Application should be made in the basket to prevent overspray which may cause the coloring on the lid or graphics to fade.

Place detergent pods in the bottom of the wash basket before adding clothes.

GE recommends the use of High Efficiency detergents such as he in your energy efficient washer. HE detergents are formulated to work with low water wash and rinse systems. HE detergents reduce the oversudsing problems commonly associated with regular detergents.

When using high efficiency or concentrated detergents, consult the product label to determine amount required for optimum performance. Excessive detergent will negatively impact wash performance.

Sorting Wash Loads

Sort by color (whites, lights, colors), soil level, fabric type (sturdy cottons, easy care, delicates) and whether the fabric produces lint (terry cloth, chenille) or collects lint (velveteen, corduroy). Wash lint producers such as cotton towels and socks separate from lint collectors including synthetic garments and dress pants.

Loading the Washer

Load dry items loosely in the washer basket. For best results, load items evenly and loosely around the outside of the basket, filling in towards the center on larger loads. To add items after washer has started, press Start/Pause if the lid is locked; wait until the Lid Locked indicator on the display is no longer illuminated before attempting to open the lid. Lift the lid and submerge additional items around the outside of the basket. Close the lid and press Start to resume. Adjust load size selection and/or use Deep Fill option if necessary.

● Do not place large items such as sheets, blankets and towels across the Infusor (on some models). Load them around the outside of the basket.

● Do not put lawn or sofa cushions into the washer as they are too big to move. Remove outer covers and ONLY wash them.

Automatic Load Sensing

This determines the correct agitate profile, agitate duration and amount of water suited to the size and type of load placed in the washer. The washer will not start the wash cycle or fill with water if the lid is open. When the lid is closed the machine is able to begin filling with water in order to sense the load size.

NOTE: Automatic Load Sensing initiates a spin at the beginning of the cycle and will take as much as 3 minutes to complete (significantly shorter for smaller loads); this is normal operation.

NOTE: This is a high efficiency washing machine with Infusor wash action. This system requires less water while providing effective cleaning action. You may notice that the water level is lower than on your previous washer. This is normal for an Infusor-equipped washer.

Detergent Dispenser

Liquid or powdered HE detergent should be added to the right side of the dispenser drawer. Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations for the correct amount of detergent, based on load size, taking care to add detergent to the right compartment. Do not overfill or dilute detergent as this can result in additive being dispensed prematurely in the wash cycle. Your option selections will determine when detergent is automatically dispensed at its optimal time in the wash cycle.

NOTE: Single-dose laundry packets should not be added to the dispenser drawer, as they will not dispense properly. Put packets in bottom of wash basket.

Liquid Fabric Softener Dispenser

Liquid fabric softener should be added to the left side of the dispenser drawer. Follow the liquid fabric softener manufacturer’s recommendations for the correct amount of softener, based on load size, taking care to add softener to the left compartment. Do not overfill or dilute softener as this can result in additive being dispensed prematurely in the wash cycle. Your option selections will determine when liquid fabric softener is automatically dispensed at its optimal time in the rinse cycle.

NOTE: Fabric softener crystals should not be added to the dispenser drawer, as they will not dispense properly.

Liquid Bleach

Liquid chlorine bleach should be added through the bleach dispenser in the front left corner. Follow bleach manufacturer’s recommendations for the correct amount of liquid chlorine bleach based on load size, taking care to not apply or spill it directly on clothing.

NOTE: Do not use liquid chlorine bleach and laundry pretreatments such as an Oxi product in the same wash load.

Pretreatment

Place laundry pretreatments, such as an Oxi product, directly in the bottom of the wash basket before loading clothes.

NOTE: Do not use liquid chlorine bleach and laundry pretreatments such as an Oxi product in the same wash load.

Exterior of the Washer

Immediately wipe off any spills with a damp cloth.

Interior of the Washer

To clean the interior of the washer, select the Basket Clean feature on the control panel. This Basket Clean cycle should be performed, at a minimum, once per month. This cycle will use more water, in addition to bleach, to control the rate at which soils and detergents may accumulate in your washer.

1. Remove any garments or objects from the washer and ensure the washer basket is empty.

2. Open the washer lid and pour one cup or 250 ml of liquid bleach or other washing machine cleaner into the basket.

3. Close the lid and select the Basket Clean cycle. Push the Start button.

4. When the Basket Clean cycle is working, the display will show the estimated cycle time remaining. Do not interrupt the cycle.

IMPORTANT: Run Basket Clean with 1 Cup (250 ml) of bleach once a month. After the completion of a Basket Clean cycle, the interior of your washer may have a bleach smell.

Cleaning the Dispenser Drawer

After some period of use, a small amount of detergent or softener residue may be present in the dispenser drawer. The drawer can easily be removed for cleaning. To remove the drawer, pull it out until the drawer stops and then lift up on the front of the drawer. The drawer can then be removed from the dispenser box. Wash the drawer in warm, soapy water using a mild detergent. Rinse drawer with warm water. If siphon caps are removed for cleaning, be sure to push siphon caps fully back into place after cleaning. The dispenser drawer and siphon caps are not dishwasher safe.

Water Supply Hoses

Hoses connecting washer to faucet should be replaced every 5 years.

Moving and Storage

Ask the service technician to remove water from drain pump and hoses. Do not store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather.

Long Vacations

Be sure water supply is shut off at faucets. Drain all water from hoses and water filter pump area if weather will be below freezing.

Your GE GTW680 washer is equipped with Consumer Help Indicator (CHI) to communicate a simple remedy for some situations. The chart below describes the helpful messages you may notice scrolling on your display.

● “BALANCING”: After the wash cycle, the clothing wasn’t evenly distributed enough to spin out the water. Redistribute the clothes more evenly in the washer and then run a Drain & Spin cycle.

● “Po” (Water took too long to Pump Out): Resume cycle or enter Drain & Spin. If water pumps out, then the clog has likely cleared. If water remains in the washer, check for clogged or pinched drain hose. This situation could be more likely to appear, over time, if the external drain hose has been extended or restricted.

● “H2O SUPPLY” (Water not entering washer): Check your house water supply. Did you forget to turn on one or both supply valves after installation or coming back from vacation? As soon as the message starts to scroll, the washer will initiate a 3 minute lock-out period. The washer controls won’t respond/change during this time. After the 3 minutes, you can begin your cycle again. If you try to bypass the lock-out period by unplugging the washer, the 3 minute timer will start over again.

● “CANCELED”: If your machine has stopped itself before the cycle completed, CANCELED will scroll in the display. On models without a display, the two furthest right LED lights will flash. This indicates that an error has occurred. Try to run a Drain & Spin cycle to see if it will clear.

Water may not cover the top level of the clothes. This is normal for this high efficiency washer.

The water valve screens may be stopped up. Turn off the water source and remove the water connection hoses from the upper back of the washer and the water faucets. Clean both the hose screens (if so equipped) and the screens in the machine using a brush or a toothpick. Reconnect the hoses and turn the water back on. Check to ensure there are no leaks at the connections.

The drain standpipe may be too low or the hose too far into the standpipe. The drain hose must exceed 32″ height at some point between the washer back and the drain pipe. Use the anti-siphon clip. See the Installation Instructions.

Possible causes include soft water, using too much detergent, or not using a High Efficiency (HE) detergent. Try less detergent. Measure your detergent carefully. Use less soap if you have soft water, a smaller load or a lightly soiled load. Switch to a High Efficiency detergent such as he.

Possible causes could be that fill hoses or the drain hose are improperly connected, the household drain is clogged, or the drain hose is rubbing on the wall.

● Make sure hose connections are tight at faucets and rubber washers are installed. Make sure end of drain hose is correctly inserted in and secured to drain facility.

● Check household plumbing. You may need to call a plumber.

● Make sure drain hose does not make contact with the wall, as this may cause excessive wear on the hose.

● Tighten hoses at the faucets. Check condition of the fill hoses; they should be replaced every 5 years.

● Cooler water temperatures: New laundry detergents have been formulated to work with cooler water temperatures without affecting wash performance.

● Water supply turned off or improperly connected: Turn both hot and cold faucets fully on and make sure hoses are connected to correct faucets. NOTE: Water valves are marked “H” and “C”.

● Water valve screens stopped up: Turn off the water source and remove the water connection hoses from the upper back of the washer and the water faucets. Clean both the hose screens (if so equipped) and the screens in the machine using a brush or a toothpick. Reconnect the hoses and turn the water back on. Check to ensure there are no leaks at the connections.

● Cool/Cold Water when selecting Hot: This is normal. The washer senses water temperature (on some models) and optimizes for best results. Cold water is added periodically when hot is selected.

● House water heater not set properly: Make sure house water heater is delivering water at 120°F–140°F (48°C–60°C).

The lid was lifted or the cycle was put in pause for over 24 hours. Reset the cycle.

The drain hose is kinked or improperly connected. Straighten the drain hose and make sure the washer is not sitting on it. The top of the drain outlet should be less than 6 ft (1.8 m) above the floor.

This is normal. The washer is sensing the load.

This is normal. If the Soak Option was chosen, the washer alternates between agitate and soak during these cycles to get your clothes cleaner with less wear. Also, many cycles incorporate a series of soaks within the agitation period to get your clothes clean with less wear.

The wash water may be too cold or you may have low home water pressure. Select a warmer wash temperature if possible to improve dissolving of detergent or use liquid detergent. Make sure siphon caps are free of debris and fully pressed into position. Remove and clean tray if clogging occurs.

The dispensers may be overfilled. Do not overfill or add water to the dispenser. Select the Deep Rinse option when using fabric softener.

This is normal. The washer may pause during the spin cycle to remove soapy water more efficiently.

● Washer is unplugged: Make sure cord is plugged securely into a working outlet.

● Water supply is turned off: Turn both hot and cold faucets fully on.

● Controls are not set properly: Check controls.

● Lid is open: This is a safety feature that prevents agitation and spinning when the lid is up. Close the lid and press Start.

● Circuit breaker/fuse is tripped/blown: Check house circuit breakers/fuses. Replace fuses or reset breaker. Washer should have a separate outlet.

● Electronics need to be reset: Unplug washer, wait 2 minutes, plug back in and press Start.

● Start was not pressed: Press Start.

The laundry detergent packet was placed in the dispenser. Laundry detergent packets should not be used in the dispensers. They should only be added directly to the wash basket following the manufacturer’s directions.

This is normal. Several options will change other options to maximize washer performance.

The washer basket moves or rotates freely. The washer basket does not have a traditional brake. The washer basket will move freely. This is normal.

This could be due to incorrect use of fabric softener or dye transfer.

● Incorrect use of fabric softener: Check fabric softener package for instructions and follow directions for using dispenser. Make sure you have selected the Deep Rinse option. Pretreat stain and rewash using Speed Wash cycle before drying.

● Dye transfer: Sort whites or lightly colored items from dark colors.

● Detergent amount: Be sure to follow detergent manufacturer’s directions.

● Hard water: Use a water conditioner or install a water softener.

● Water is not hot enough: Make sure water heater is delivering water at 120°F−140°F (48°C~60°C).

● Washer is overloaded: Loosely load clothes no higher than the top row of holes in the washer basket. For best results, load items around the outside of the basket.

● Dye transfer: Sort clothes by color. If fabric label states wash separately, unstable dyes may be indicated.

● Clothes are air or line dried: If you do not dry your clothes with a clothes dryer, your clothes may retain more lint.

● Incorrect sorting: Separate lint producers from lint collectors.

● Washing too long: Wash small loads for a shorter time using Light Soil setting.

● Detergent not dissolving: Rewash; next time, try a liquid detergent and use warmer water temperature.

● Overloading: Loosely load clothes in the washer basket. For best results, load items around the outside of the basket.

● Incorrect use of fabric softener: Check fabric softener package for instructions and follow directions for using dispenser. Make sure you have selected the Deep Rinse option.

● No spin selected: Select a spin option.

● Incorrect cycle selected: Make sure the cycle selected matches the load you are washing. Some fabrics will feel wetter when rinsed with cold water.

● Wash load out of balance: Redistribute load in washer and run through Drain & Spin cycle.

This is a result of normal wear on poly-cotton blends and fuzzy fabrics. While this is not caused by the washer, you can slow the pilling process by washing garments inside out.

● Pins, snaps, hooks, sharp buttons, etc.: Fasten snaps, hooks, buttons and zippers. Remove loose items like pins, objects in pockets and sharp buttons. Turn knits (which snag easily) inside out.

● Undiluted chlorine bleach: Check bleach package instructions for proper amount. Never add undiluted bleach to wash or allow clothes to come in contact with undiluted bleach.

● Chemicals like hair bleach or dye: Rinse items that may have chemicals on them before washing. Use Speed Wash cycle with Extra Rinse option.

● Incorrect wash and dry cycles: Match Cycle selection to the type of fabric you are washing (especially for easy care loads).

● Improper sorting: Avoid mixing heavy items (like jeans) with light items (like blouses). Try a fabric softener.

● Overloading: Loosely load clothes in the washer basket.

● Repeated washing in water that is too hot: Wash in warm or cold water.

● Washer seems too quiet: The washer is very quiet during portions of the wash cycle.

● “Clicking”: The drive system will engage at the start of agitate and disengage when agitate is complete. This occurs multiple times during the wash.

● Back and forth “swoosh”: This sound is the motor rotating back and forth to clean your laundry.

● Quick short agitation sounds at end of agitate: At the end of agitate, the motor makes short agitation strokes to redistribute the load.

● “Click” when water stops filling: The relay makes a click sound when activated. The water level activates the relay and stops filling.

● “Clicking” behind control during fill / Water flow changes during fill: Two valves mix cold and hot water. The “clicking” is when either valve turns on or off to raise or lower the fill water temperature.

● Motor sounds during spin: The motor will speed up incrementally during the spin cycle. When spin is complete, it will coast until it stops.

● “Humming”: The drain pump will make a humming sound when pumping out water after agitation stops and continue until spin is complete. The drive motor will also make a “humming” sound during the wash and spin phases of the cycle.

● “Gurgling”: When the pump starts drawing in air, it starts to gurgle. The washer should then begin spinning and the sound will continue until it is done spinning.

● Water “swishing”: Water swishing while the unit is agitating is normal, especially with smaller loads.

The washer leveling legs are uneven or the washer is not level and rubbing on the cabinet. To level the washer, adjust the leveling legs by rotating the individual leg in the proper direction for up or down.
