Something not working?

If, during the spin cycle, the machine makes an unusual
whistling noise, different from the noise made
by traditional washing machines, this is due to
a new type of motor.
If water is not visible in the drum, this is due to
the modern technology of new washing
machines that use less water than traditional
machines.
