What To Do
• The drive system will engage at the start of agitate and
disengage when agitate is complete. This occurs multiple
times during the wash.
• This machine has a drive system that doesn't use gears.
This sound is the motor rotating back and forth to clean
your laundry.
• At the end of agitate, the motor makes short agitation strokes
to redistribute the load.
• The relay makes a click sound when activated. The water
level activates the relay and stops filling.
• This valve mixes in cold and hot water. The "clicking"
is the valve turning on and off.
• This valve mixes in cold and hot water. The sound changes
when the valves are turned on and off.
• The motor will speed up incrementally during the spin cycle.
When spin is complete, it will coast until it stops.
• The drain pump will make a humming sound when pumping
out water after agitation stops and continue until spin is
complete.
• When the pump starts drawing in air, It starts to gurgle.
The washer should then begin spinning and the sound will
continue until it is done spinning.
• This washer uses an Infusor™ wash action. Water swishing
while the unit is agitating is normal, especially with smaller loads.
• To level the front of the washer, adjust the front leveling legs
by rotating the individual leg in the proper direction for up
or down. To level the back of the washer, lift the back
of the machine 4" (11 cm) and set down.
