A sharp, distinctive sound will be heard at the end of each spin period as the motor
stops and the spin brake inside the transmission "locks in." This sound is normal.
Heavily unbalanced loads can cause the washer to vibrate excessively during spin,
and may cause it to move from its original position. In extreme cases (usually occurs
when washing a single, heavy item or a small load when water level is set higher than
necessary), the spin basket may strike the outer tub, creating a loud but harmless noise.
To correct, stop the washer by pushing in the Cycle Selector knob, open the lid and
redistribute the load evenly about the wash basket. Close the lid and restart.
Washer normally pauses between washing steps... such as between wash and spin or
between s~in and rinse.
To Store Washer. Ask service technician to remove
water from drain pump and hoses to prevent freezing.
Do not store the washer where it will be exposed
to the weather.
For Long Vacations. Be sure water supply is shut off
at faucets and drain all water from hoses if weather
will be below freezing.
