Understanding
normal
washer sounds
Your new washer may make sounds your old one
didn't. Because the sounds may be 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, your
washer has a lower water level. This may cause a
clicking sound from the upper part of the agitator.
During
drain
If water is drained quickly from your washer (depend-
ing 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.
Understanding
what happens in each cycle
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.
During agitation, the SURE-CARE* agitator creates
l a continuous rollover
action that provides a
thorough cleaning of the
wash load.
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.
