WASHER IS NOISY

● A sharp, distinctive sound
will
be heard at the end of each spin period as the
motor stops and the spin brake inside the transmission “locks in.” This sound
is normal.
● Heavily unbalanced loads can cause the washer to vibrate excessively during
spin, and may cause it to move from its original position. In extreme cases
(usually occurs when washing a single, heavy item or a small load in a tub full
of water), the spin basket may strike the outer tub, creating a loud but harmless
noise. To correct, open the lid and redistribute the load evenly about the wash
basket. Close the lid and restart.
