If the washer starts acting weird, such as:
- the status light staying on one of the cycles and not properly progressing to "Done"
- the status light flashing
- making a continuous chugging sound (as if it's trying to drain water but not succeeding)
- the status light indicating "Done", but the clothes on top feeling totally dry as if they hadn't been washed, and/or the clothes on the bottom feeling wet as if not properly drained.
Then, you may need to clean out the lint filter. There could be a clump of lint preventing the water from properly draining out. The filter is on the front bottom right corner of the washer. Some water will come out with the filter when it is removed - position a shallow pan under the area to capture this water.
When re-inserting the filter, do not first tighten the head of the filter. It needs to be loose. When the head is tightened, this compresses the rubber section, making the rubber stick out more (to create a better seal). If the rubber is compressed like that before inserting the filter, the filter will not fit in.
