General Troubleshooting
IMPORTANT: Refer to Wiring Diagram for aid in testing washer components.
1. Clicking Noise During Operation on NEWLY Installed Units
If a clicking noise is heard when first starting up a new
topload washer, the noise is related to the belt taking a
temporary “set” around the idler pulley. The set causes
a slight bump in the belt which in turn causes the idler
lever to tap the motor bracket making the clicking
noise. THE BELT DOES NOT NEED TO BE
REPLACED.
To correct this condition please perform the following
break-in procedure:
1.
After installing the unit start a fill cycle to
make sure the seals have been lubricated.
2.
Stop the fill cycle and place the unit into a
spin cycle.
3.
Run the cycle for several minutes until the
belt has warmed up. This will remove the
“set.”
4.
Normal use will keep the belt from
resetting.
5.
For extended periods of non-use (three to
four weeks), this procedure might need to
be repeated.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
• Disconnect electric power to the washer before servicing.
• Never start the washer with any guards/panels removed.
• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be
reconnected to ensure that the washer is properly grounded.
