High-pitched sound
during a spin
cycle.
The motor increases speed to spin the tub to remove moisture
from the load.
Detergent is dispensed at the start of the cycle. Bleach is
dispensed at the appropriate time in the wash cycle. Fabric
softener is dispensed during the third rinse while the washer is
filling.
The sealed balance ring around the tub contains a liquid and is
designed to make the washer spin smoothly.
The tub rotates one direction followed by a pause. The tub
reverses direction and pauses. This action continues throughout
the cycle.
After reaching the maximum spin speed, the machine may reduce
spin speed slightly for maximum performance.
The tumbler will begin to accelerate to speed, then slows back
down to redistribute the load more evenly when an unbalanced
load occurs.
The washer uses a true adaptive fill and adds more water during
the wash cycle as it is needed.
OR
Water flows through the dispenser to dilute and add bleach or
fabric softener at the appropriate time. This will occur even if
bleach and fabric softener are not used.
Before the washer starts to fill, it will make a series of clicking
noises to check the door lock and do a quick drain.
