Understanding normal washer sounds

Your new washer may make sounds that
your old one didn't. Because the sounds are
unfamiliar, you may be concerned about
them. Don't be; most of them are normal.
The following describes some of the
sounds you may hear and what causes them.
During washing
When you select a small load size setting for
a small wash load, the water level in your
washer is lower. With this lower water level,
you may hear a clicking sound from the
upper portion of the agitator.

During drain
The rate that water is drained from your
washer depends on your installation. If water
is drained quickly from the washer, you may
hear air being pulled through the pump. This
happens during the end of draining.
After drain and before spin
When the cycle changes from draining to
spinning, you may hear gears engaging.
