Operating Instructions
Normal Operating Sounds
You may or may not hear the following sounds from your new
washer:
A. DRAIN HOSE The washer has a flexible drain hose to carry
water from the washer to the stand pipe of your home. You
will hear water flowing into your stand pipe. This is a normal
part of the operation of the washer.
B. WATER VALVES/DISPENSER As water enters the
dispenser system, it is common to hear a water flowing
sound. This normal sound will vary slightly based on the
water pressure in your home.
C. DOOR LOCK Your washer is equipped with a door lock
with an electric solenoid. There will be a clicking sound as
the washer door is being locked or unlocked.
D. DRAIN PUMP Your washer is equipped with a high velocity
drain pump. It is normal to hear humming and gurgling
sounds as water is pumped from the washer. Both of
these sounds are normal and indicate that your pump is
functioning correctly.
E. HIGH SPEED MOTOR A powerful motor is used to drive
the drum to high spin speeds to extract water from your
load. You will hear a sound associated with these higher spin
speeds. This sound is normal and will vary slightly as the
spin speed varies with load size and cycle selected.

pending washer failure and should be investigated by a
qualified technician.
