Q: QuestionCan you use powder laundry detergent in this washer? Also, I use epsom salt as a fabric softener with my current, old school washer. Would I still be able to use it for this washer? Thanks!
Asked by Marilyn.
- A:Answer The factory recommendation is to use an HE Detergent. I do not use powder however I think it would be okay because it has the standard (old school) agitator. I also think that using a small amount of Espom will be okay. It’s updated but still a typical 80’s washer. I love it by the way!

Q: QuestionMy washer won't drain, keeps giving a error message.
Asked by Eb.
- A:Answer It's certainly frustrating when your washer won't drain and is displaying an error message. This usually indicates a problem with the draining system. Here are a few basic troubleshooting steps you can try: First, check the drain hose at the back of the washer. Ensure it isn't kinked, twisted, or clogged. Straighten out any bends and make sure the end of the hose is not submerged in standing water in a drainpipe, as this can cause siphoning issues. Next, inspect the drainpipe or laundry sink where the hose empties. Make sure there isn't a blockage in the pipe itself. If you can safely do so, check for any visible obstructions. After performing these steps, try running a drain and spin cycle to see if the issue is resolved. If the washer still won't drain and the error message persists, it indicates a more complex problem that may require professional attention. Please contact our Insignia customer support team (877-467-4289) for further assistance. They can provide more specific troubleshooting based on the error code you are seeing or help schedule a service appointment. - Mae | Insignia Support

Q: QuestionOur machine is brand new. When we run a load, we are noticing that there is not enough water per load. Everything is not being submerged. I watch it and it doesn't agitate enough to get the stuff that's out of water, under water. What is wrong????
Asked by Tia.
- A:Answer Thank you for your inquiry! Insignia™ 4.1 Cu. Ft. High Efficiency Top Load Washer might be experiencing issues with water level and agitation. To troubleshoot, first check the water level settings to ensure they are appropriate for the load size. Overloading the washer can prevent proper agitation and water distribution, so try running a smaller load to see if the issue persists. Using the soak option, if available, can help ensure clothes are fully submerged before the wash cycle begins. Additionally, inspect for any blockages in the water inlet or filters that might be restricting water flow. Sometimes, resetting the washer by turning it off, unplugging it for a few minutes, and then restarting can resolve minor issues. If these steps don't resolve the problem, consulting the user manual or contacting Insignia customer support for further assistance might be necessary. Keith | Insignia Support

Q: QuestionI push start … It starts to work and then. … blue light up E5 blinking & washing machine stops Any ideas why & what can I do to get it going
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Thank you for your inquiry! It sounds like your Insignia washer is displaying an E5 error, which often indicates an issue with the impact switch or leveling. A common cause is that the washer is not level. Try this simple troubleshooting: first, ensure your washer is slid fully into its position. Then, open the lid and pour water into the tub up to the leveling circle. If the water touches the circle evenly all around, your washer is level. If not, carefully tilt the washer and adjust the leveling feet on the bottom front until the water level is even. Be sure not to extend the feet too much, as this can cause vibrations. If, after leveling, the E5 error persists, it's best to contact Insignia support for further assistance. They can help diagnose the problem and provide more specific solutions or arrange for repairs. - Mae | Insignia Support

Q: QuestionWhy does the agitator start before water is dispensed into the basket? It gets lopsided before it even starts.
Asked by Navymom1994.
- A:Answer Hi Navymom1994, thank you for reaching out about your Insignia™ 4.1 Cu. Ft. High Efficiency Top Load Washer. I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with the agitator starting before water is dispensed. This behavior can sometimes occur due to the washer's programming, which might initiate the agitator to help distribute the laundry evenly before the water fills the basket. However, if the agitator is causing the load to become lopsided, it could indicate an issue with the washer's balance or load sensing mechanism. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try: 1. Check the Load Distribution: Ensure that the laundry is evenly distributed around the agitator. Overloading or unevenly distributing clothes can cause imbalance issues. 2. Adjust the Washer Feet: Make sure the washer is level. Use a spirit level to check and adjust the feet of the washer if necessary. An unlevel washer can cause imbalance during the wash cycle. 3. Run a Test Cycle: Try running a test cycle with a smaller load to see if the issue persists. This can help determine if the problem is related to the load size or distribution. 4. Inspect the Agitator: Check the agitator for any visible damage or obstructions that might be affecting its movement. If these steps do not resolve the issue, it might be a good idea to contact our Insignia customer support for further assistance. Emman | Insignia Products
