USING YOUR WASHER

SELF-CLEANING LINT FILTER

Your washer has a self-cleaning lint filter at the bot- tom 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.

UNDERSTANDING NORMAL WASHER SOUNDS

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 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.
