OPERATING SOUNDS

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS OF YOUR MAYTAG NEPTUNE®TL CLOTHES WASHER

High pitched sound during a spin
cycle.
The motor increases speed to spin the tub to remove moisture from the load.
On some cycles,the tumbling stops and the washer pauses during the cleaning
process.
After reaching the maximum spin speed,the washer may reduce spin speed
slightly for maximum performance.
The tumbler will begin to accelerate to speed,then slows back down and
tumbles to redistribute the load more evenly when an unbalanced load occurs.
The Maytag Neptune®TL clothes washer uses a true adaptive fill and adds
more water during the wash cycle as it is needed.
Water flows through the dispensers to dilute and add bleach or fabric softener
at the appropriate time.This will occur even if bleach and fabric softener are
not used.
Before the washer starts to fill,it will make a clicking noise to lock the lid and
do a quick drain.
OR
“Whirring” sound followed by a
pause, repeated throughout the wash
cycle.
Clothes washer maintains a slightly
reduced spin speed after achieving a
higher spin speed.
The spin speed slows down
dramatically when it sounds like an
out-of-balance load.
Water is added after the washer
has been tumbling for a while.
Clicking/draining sounds when washer
is started.
