SELF-CLEANING LINT FILTER

Lint is filtered from the load automatically - there's no messy cleanup.

Your washer features a self-cleaning filter that traps lint from the water while the washer is washing and deep rinsing the laundry. The trapped lint is flushed down the drain automatically. You don't have to clean the filter.

DUAL-ACTION TM AGITATOR

Kenmore's DUAL-ACTION TM Agitator

gives you flexible fabric care for even your largest loads,

The best cleaning action

in your washer takes place at the bottom where the

agitator vanes move back and forth to flex the fabric, loosening the soil.

The upper portion of the agitator moves in only one direction to help you

wash larger loads. The clockwise rotation of the agitator forces the clothes

on top down to the bottom where most of the washing action is.

UNDERSTANDING NORMAL

WASHER SOUNDS

Your new laundry center's washer may make sounds that your old washer 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 Wash

When you select a small load size set_ ting 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.
