final spin.

 

 

WET AFTER SPIN

 

 

 

APPLIANCE IS

• Heavily unbalanced loads can cause the washer to vibrate excessively during spin, and

 

 

NOISY

may cause it to move from its original position. To correct, open the lid and redistribute

 

 

 

 

the load evenly about the wash basket. Close the lid and restart.

• Alternate pauses in the agitation are normal in the delicate wash cycle. Agitation will

 

 

 

 

resume in 1–2 minutes.

 

 

 

 

• The brief pause in the final spin of each cycle is normal operation for this washer.
