The motor increases speed to spin the tub to remove mois-
ture from the load.
Detergent is dispensed at the start of the cycle. Bleach is dis-
pensed during final minutes of wash. Fabric softener is dis-
pensed during the third rinse while the washer is filling.
The sealed balance ring around the tub contains a liquid and
is designed to make the washer run smoothly.
The tub rotates one direction followed by a pause. The tub
reverses direction and pauses. This action continues
throughout the cycle.
After reaching the maximum spin speed, the machine may
reduce spin speed slightly to create less noise and vibration.
Water is added after the
washer has been tumbling
for a while.
