WASHER USE

Understanding Washer Cycles

When the Cycle Control knob is set to a number and pulled out, 
the washer fills (to the selected load size) before agitation and 
timing start. The washer begins agitating immediately after filling; 
agitation occurs with the washer lid down.

During agitation, the agitator creates a continuous rollover action 
that provides a thorough cleaning of the wash load.

After agitation starts, the Cycle Control knob turns clockwise until 
it points to an Off area and the cycle ends.

NOTE:

 The washer pauses briefly throughout each cycle. These 

pauses are normal for washer operation.

Loading

Loading suggestions

For these suggested full-sized loads, set the LOAD SIZE selector 
to the highest setting.

Normal Washer 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.

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.
