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. Don’t be; most of them are normal.
The following describes some of the sounds you may hear and what causes them.
During drain
The rate that water is drained from your washer depends on your installation. If water is drained quickly from the washer, you may hear air being pulled through the pump. This happens during the end of draining.
During washing
When you select a small load size setting for a small wash load, the water level in your washer is lower. With this lower water level, you may hear a clicking sound from the upper portion of the agitator.
After drain and before spin
When the cycle changes from draining to spinning, you may hear gears engaging.
