Make sure end of drain hose is correctly inser&l ~ and secured to drain facility.

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 unbalanc@ loads can cause the washer ~ vibrate ex~sively 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.
Washer normally pauses between washing steps . ..such as between wash and spin or
between spin and rinse.

Lubnca(e
.\
The Acti~7ator@ agitator.
Remove
at regular intervals—about 4 to 6
months—and remove any lint that
may have accumulated. No tools
are needed, simply grasp agitator
with both hands and pull straight
up sharply. The slotted section at
the top of the metal shaft has a light
coating of lubricant to prevent parts
sticking together. If this area appears
to be dry, apply a light coat of grease
or petroleum jelly around the slotted
section of the shaft before replacing
the agitator. Do not overgrease.
When replacing the agitator,
carefully lower straight down onto
the shaft so that it fits into the slots.
Then apply downward pressure
until agitator snaps into its normal
position.
