Select a spin option.
Make sure the cycle selected matches the load you are washing.
Some fabrics will feel wetter when rinsed with cold water.
Redistribute load in washer and run through Drain & Spin cycle.
Allow cycle to continue and finish.
If load is wet at the end of the cycle, even out load and run a
Drain & Spin cycle.
While this is not caused by the washer, you can slow the pilling
process by washing garments inside out.
Fasten snaps, hooks, buttons and zippers.
Remove loose items like pins, objects in pockets and sharp buttons.
Turn knits (which snag easily) inside out.
Never add undiluted bleach to wash or allow clothes to come in
contact with undiluted bleach.
Rinse items that may have chemicals on them before washing.
Use Speed Wash cycle with Extra Rinse option.
Match Cycle selection to the type of fabric you are washing
(especially for easy care loads).
Avoid mixing heavy items (like jeans) with light items (like blouses).
Try a fabric softener.
Loosely load clothes in the washer basket.
Wash in warm or cold water.
The drive system will engage at the start of agitate and disengage
when agitate is complete. This occurs multiple times during the
wash.
This sound is the motor rotating back and forth to clean your
laundry.
Two valves mix cold and hot water. The "clicking" is when either
valve turns on or off to raise or lower the fill water temperature.

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.
The drive motor will make a "humming" sound during the wash and
spin phases of the cycle.
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.
Water swishing while the unit is agitating is normal, especially with
smaller loads.
To level the washer, adjust the leveling legs by rotating the
individual leg in the proper direction for up or down.
