A sharp dist inctive 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 aloud but harmless noise.
To correct, open the lid and redistribute the load evenly about the wash basket. Close the
lid and restart.
