OPERATING YOUR WASHER
RINSE/DRAIN AND SPIN

Rinse and Spin feature

When using extra detergent for heavily soiled
clothes, or washing special-care items, you may
find an extra rinse and spin is needed.
• For an additional rinse and spin, push in the
Cycle Control Knob and turn it clockwise to any
of the Rinse settings. The washer fills to the
selected load size, agitates, drains, and spins.
NOTE: An Extra Rinse option is also available. See
“Using your washer.”

Drain and Spin feature

A drain and spin may help shorten drying times for
some heavy fabrics or special-care items by remov-
ing excess water.
• For a drain and spin, push in the Cycle Control
Knob and turn it clockwise to any of the Spin
settings. Then pull out the Cycle Control Knob.
The washer drains, then spins.
Your washer has a self-cleaning lint filter at the
bottom of the basket. Wash and rinse water flow
over the filter during agitation, separating the lint
from the water. The lint spins out of the system
during the spin part of the cycle.
If your washer drains into a tub, remove any lint
collected in the tub or strainer.

During drain

If water is drained quickly from your washer (depend-
ing on your installation), you may hear air being
pulled through the pump during the end of draining.

After drain and before spin

When the cycle changes from draining to spinning,
you may hear gears engaging.
Your new washer may make sounds your old one
didn’t. Because the sounds may be unfamiliar, you
may be concerned about them. Don’t be; most of
them are normal.
The following describes some of the sounds you
may hear and what causes them.

During washing

When you select a small load size setting, your
washer has a lower water level. This may cause a
clicking sound from the upper part of the agitator.
