DRAIN AND SPIN
Rinse and Spin
When using extra detergent for heavily soiled
clothes, or washing special-care items, you may
find an extra rinse and spin is needed.
1. For an additional rinse and spin at the end of
the wash cycle, push in the Cycle Control knob
and turn it clockwise to Rinse.
2. Pull out the Cycle Control knob. The washer fills
to the selected load size, agitates, drains and
spins.
NOTE: An Extra Rinse option is available on some
models. See “Starting Your Washer.”
Drain and Spin
A drain and spin may help shorten drying times for
some heavy fabrics or special-care items by
removing excess water.
1. For a drain and spin, push in the Cycle Control
knob and turn it clockwise to any of the Spin
settings.
2. Pull out the Cycle Control knob. The washer
drains, then spins.
Your washer has a self-cleaning lint filter at the
bottom of the basket. Wash and rinse water flow
over the filter during agitation, separating the lint
from the water. The lint spins out of the system
during the spin part of the cycle.
If your washer drains into a tub, remove any lint
collected in the tub or strainer.

NDERSTANDING NORMAL WASHER SOUNDS
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.
Your new washer may make sounds your old one
didn’t. Because the sounds may be unfamiliar, you
may be concerned about them. Don’t be; most of
them are normal.
The following describes some of the sounds you
may hear and what causes them.
