Normal Washer SoundsYour new washer may make sounds your old one didn’t.
Because the sounds might be unfamiliar, you may be
concerned about them. These sounds are normal.
During washing
When you select a small load size setting, your washer has
a lower water level. This can cause a clicking sound from
the upper part of the agitator.
During drain
If water is drained quickly from your washer (depending 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.
Starting Yo ur Washer1. Measure detergent and pour it into the washer.
■If desired, add powdered or liquid color safe bleach.
■Add extra detergent for the Super Wash cycle.
2. Drop a sorted load of clothes loosely into your washer.
■Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large
and small items.
■Items should move easily through the wash water.
Overloading can cause poor cleaning.
■To reduce wrinkling of permanent press clothes and
some synthetic knits, use a large load size to provide
more space (see step 6).
