ing the soil.
The upper portion
of the agitator
moves in only one
direction to help
you wash larger

UNDERSTANDING NORMAL
WASHER SOUNDS
Your new washer may make sounds
that your old one didn't. Because the
sounds are unfamiliar, you may be
concerned about them.
The following describes some of the
normal sounds you may hear and what
causes them.
During Washing
When you select asmall load size setting
for a small wash load, your washer has a
lower water level. With this lower water
level, you may heara clicking sound from
the upper portion of the agitator.
During Drain
The rate that water is drained from your
washer depends on your installation. If
water isdrained quickly from thewasher,
you may hear air being pulled through the
pump. This happens during the end of
draining,
After Drain and Before Spin
When the cycle changes from draining
to spinning, you may hear a noise as the
gearcase shifts.
