USING YOUR WASHER

Understanding Washer Cycles

When the Cycle Control knob is set to a number and pulled
out, the washer fills (to the selected load size) before
agitation and timing start. The washer begins agitating
immediately after filling; agitation occurs with the washer
lid up or down.
After agitation starts, the Cycle Control knob turns
clockwise until it points to an OFF area and the cycle ends.
NOTE: The washer pauses briefly throughout each cycle.
These pauses are normal for washer operation.

Normal Washer Sounds

Your new washer may make sounds your old one didn't.
Because the sounds might be unfamiliar, you may be
concerned about them. These sounds are normal.
During washing
When you select a small load size setting, your washer has
a lower water level. This can cause a clicking sound from
the upper part of the agitator.
During drain
If water is drained quickly from your washer (depending on
your installation), you may hear air being pulled through
the pump during the end of draining.
After drain and before spin
When the cycle changes from draining to spinning, you
may hear gears engaging.
