WASHER USE

UnderstandingWasher Cycles

When the washer lid is closed and Cycle Control knob is set to a number or cycle and pulled out, the washer fills (to the selected load size) before agitation and timing start. If the CATALYST® Cleaning Action is selected, the washer spins and sprays a detergent solution for a brief period before filling with water. The washer will not agitate or spin with the lid open.

During agitation, the agitator creates a continuous rollover action that provides a thorough cleaning of the wash load.

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.

NormalSounds

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.

If you select CATALYST® Cleaning Action, you will hear a spin/ spray noise at the start of the cycle.

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.
