PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

WASHER IS NOISY ● Make sure washer is level and firm to the floor with rubber foot pads in place and

front jam nuts tight. See your hstallation Instructions.

. 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 PAUSES

● Washer normally pauses between washing steps...such as between wash and spin or

IN CYCLE

between spin and rinse.
