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 setting
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 SMART
TM
DISPENSER
The TRIPLE SMART
TM
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,
Using the TRIPLE SMART
TM
DISPENSER ensures that detergent,
bleach, and fabric softener are intro-
duced into the washer at the proper
time and are properly diluted.
USING THE DETERGENT
DISPENSER
This dispenser will automatically
dispense either liquid or powdered
detergents, You may add liquid or
powdered color-safe bleach to this
dispenser as well.
