PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
WASHER IS NOISY
●
Make sure washer is level and firm to
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, open the lid and redistribute the load evenly about the wash basket.
Close the lid and restart.
