OPERATING YOUR WASHER

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 (depend-
ing 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.

During washing

When you select a small load size setting, your
washer has a lower water level. This may cause a
clicking sound from the upper part of the agitator.
