Normal Washer Sounds; Starting Your Washer - Whirlpool TWO SPEED AUTOMATIC WASHERS Use & Care Manual

Normal Washer Sounds

Your new washer may make sounds your old one didn't.
Because the sounds might be unfamiliar, you may be
concerned about them. These sounds are normal.
During washing
When you select a small load size setting, your washer has
a lower water level. This can cause a clicking sound from
the upper part of the agitator.
During drain
If water is drained quickly from your washer (depending on
your installation), you may hear air being pulled through
the pump during the end of draining.
After drain and before spin
When the cycle changes from draining to spinning, you
may hear gears engaging.

Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are
dampened with gasoline or other flammable
fluids.
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of
oil on it (including cooking oils).
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

1. Measure detergent and pour it into the washer.
If desired, add powdered or liquid color safe bleach.
Add extra detergent for the Super Wash cycle.
2. Drop a sorted load of clothes loosely into your washer.
Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large

Overloading can cause poor cleaning.
To reduce wrinkling of permanent press clothes and
some synthetic knits, use a large load size to provide
more space (see step 6).
