WASHER USE
UnderstandingWasher Cycles
When a cycle is selected, the washer lid is closed, and Start is pushed, the washer fills (to the selected load size) before agitation and timing start. The washer begins agitating immediately after filling. If CATALYST® cleaning action is selected, the washer spins and sprays detergent solution for a brief period before filling with water.
During agitation, the agitator creates a continuous rollover action that provides a thorough cleaning of the wash load.
NOTES:
■The washer pauses briefly throughout each cycle. These pauses are normal for washer operation.
■Follow the progress of your wash cycle with the Washing Status indicator lights.

Normal Sounds
Your 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.
If you select CATALYST® cleaning action, you will hear a spin/ spray noise at the start of the cycle.
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.
When selecting a cycle or an option
A tone sounds whenever a selection is made. The sound level of the tones is not adjustable.
■A single tone sounds whenever a selection is accepted.
■Three short tones sound if an unavailable selection is made.
