Normal Operating Sounds
You may or may not hear the following sounds from your new washer:
A.DRAIN HOSE The washer has a flexible drain hose to carry water from the washer to the stand pipe of your home. You will hear water flowing into your stand pipe. This is a normal part of the operation of the washer.
B.WATER VALVES/DISPENSER As water enters the dispenser system, it is common to hear a water flowing sound. This normal sound will vary slightly based on the water pressure in your home.
C.DOOR LOCK Your washer is equipped with a door lock with an electric solenoid. There will be a clicking sound as the washer door is being locked or unlocked.
D.DRAIN PUMP Your washer is equipped with a high velocity drain pump. It is normal to hear humming and gurgling sounds as water is pumped from the washer. Both of these sounds are normal and indicate that your pump is functioning correctly.
E.HIGH SPEED MOTOR A powerful motor is used to drive the drum to high spin speeds to extract water from your load. You will hear a sound associated with these higher spin speeds. This sound is normal and will vary slightly as the spin speed varies with load size and cycle selected.
