What To Do
• To level the front of the washer, adjust the front leveling

for up or down. To level back of washer, lift back of
machine 4" (11 cm) and set down.

is needed.
• Normal sounds during fill include the water filling
in through the house plumbing. As the water pressure
goes up and down, a knock or hammer can develop.
Make sure the water faucets are fully turned on.
• Many washers have features such as pulse agitation and
pauses during rinse and spin for reduced clothes wear
and to reduce likelihood of soap residue. These short
pauses of less than 1 minute are normal and will reduce
clothing wear and increase water extraction. Sounds such
as a metallic knock, double knock or metallic clunk occur
when the washer transitions from a stop or paused state
to running or spinning. They occur several times per cycle
after speed changes or pauses.
What To Do
• Use a hair dryer set at the lowest heat setting, directing
the air at the label for a short amount of time. This will
release the adhesive easily, without damaging the surface
of the washer.
