NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
The following sounds may be heard while the washer is operating. They are normal.
Clicking:
•Lid lock relay when the lid locks and unlocks.
•The washer will make a series of clicking noises as it changes the cleaning mode.
High pitched noise:
High spin speeds can cause some high 3itched noise from the tub or motor.
Spraying or hissing:
Water spraying or circulating during the cycle.
Humming or gurgling:
Drain pump pumping water from the washer at the end of a cycle.
Water sloshing sound:
A liquid in the ring on top of the tub is designed to help bal- ance the tub during spin. This water can sometimes be heard when the tub stops spinning or if the tub is moved by hand.
Water sloshing sound when tub is spinning:
To achieve better cleaning performance with less water, the tub will sometimes spin with water. During the NORMAL and HEAVY DUTY cycles, this spinning will cause the water to flow back into the tub creating the sound of a waterfall. This is normal, and can be observed through the lid at times during the cycle.
Water filling sound during a cycle:
•The washer adapts to the load size and type to add more water to the cycle as needed.
•The wash load may be unbalanced. If the washer senses that the load is unbalanced, it will stop and refill to redis- tribute the load.
•The washer may be diluting laundry additives to add to the wash load.
Beeping sound:
The beeping alarm indicates there is an error code showing in the display. Refer to the following pages for an explanation on of the displayed error code.
