PROBLEM
WASHER IS NOISY
WASHER PAUSES
IN CYCLE
POSSIBLE
CAUSE
● Make sure washer is level
and
firm to the
floor
with rubber
foot
pads in place and
front jam nuts tight. See your Installation Instructions.
● 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 when water level is set higher than
necessary), the spin basket may strike the outer tub, creating a loud but harmless noise.
To correct, stop the washer by pushing in the Cycle Selector knob, open the lid and
redistribute
the
load
evenly about the wash basket. Close the lid and restart.
● Washer normally pauses between washing steps.. such as between wash and spin or
between spin and rinse.
