UNDERSTANDING NORMAL
WASHER SOUNDS
Your new washer may make sounds
that your old one didn't. Because the
sounds are unfamiliar, you may be
concerned about them.
The following describes some of the
normal sounds you may hear and what
causes them.
During Washing
When you select a small load size set-
ting for a small wash load, your washer
has a lower water level. With this lower
water level, you may hear a clicking sound
from the upper portion of the agitator.
During Drain
The rate that water is drained from your
washer depends on your installation. If
water is drained quickly from the washer,
you may hear air being pulled through
the pump. This happens during the end
of draining.
After Drain and Before Spin
When the cycle changes from draining
to spinning, you may hear a noise as the
gearcase shifts.
USING YOUR
TRIPLE DISPENSER
The triple dispenser makes your
washer truly automatic by making
it unnecessary for you to return to
the washer during the cycle to put in
detergent, bleach, or fabric softener.
By using the triple dispenser, you are
assured of proper fabric care by ensuring
that detergent, bleach, and fabric softener
are introduced into the washer at the
proper time and properly diluted.
How It Works
The triple dispenser directs fresh
water from the washer inlet valve to
the dispensers.
The water directed to the dispenser
will be warm if both faucets are turned
on fully, regardless of wash or rinse
temperature selections. This is to ensure
proper dilution of laundry products. The
amount of warm water is not enough to
harm delicate or non-colorfast fabrics.
