UNDERSTANDING NORMAL WASHER SOUNDS

Your new washer may make sounds that your old orle 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 Washing

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.

USING THE LIQUID CHLORINE

BLEACH DISPENSER

Automatically dilutes bleach to ensure the cleanest and brightest loads.

Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Use a measuring cup, do not guess.

Do not pour directly from bottle. Never use more than 1 cup for a full load. Use less with smaller loads. Follow manufacturer's directions for safe use. A cup with a pouring spout will help you avoid spilling.

After loading the washer, pour measured liquid chlorine bleach carefully into the dispenser.

Do not let bleach splash, drip, or run down into washer basket. Undiluted bleach will damage any fabric it touches.

Start the washer. Bleach will be diluted

automatically before it comes in contact with the wash load.

NOTE: Do not use this dispenser to add powdered chlorine or color-safe bleach to your wash load. The dispenser is for liquid chlorine bleach only.
