USING YOUR WASHER

Understanding Washer Cycles

When the Cycle Control knob is set to a number and pulled out, the washer fills (to the selected load size) before agitation and timing start. The washer begins agitating immediately after filling; agitation occurs with the washer lid up or down.

After agitation starts, the Cycle Control knob turns clockwise until it points to an OFF area and the cycle ends.

NOTE: The washer pauses briefly throughout each cycle. These pauses are normal for washer operation.

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.
