OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
Abnormal, on-going sounds may be an indication of a
pending washer failure and should be investigated by a
qualifi ed technician.
Normal Operating Sounds
You may or may not hear the following sounds from your
new washer:
A. DRAIN HOSE The washer has a fl exible drain hose
to carry water from the washer to the stand pipe of
your home. You will hear water fl owing into your stand
pipe. This is a normal part of the operation of the
washer.
B. WATER VALVES/DISPENSER As water enters
the dispenser system, it is common to hear a water
fl owing sound. This normal sound will vary slightly
based on the water pressure in your home.
C. DRAIN PUMP Your washer is equipped with a high
velocity drain pump. It is normal to hear humming and
gurgling sounds as water is pumped from the washer.
Both of these sounds are normal and indicate that
your pump is functioning correctly.
D. HIGH SPEED MOTOR A powerful motor is used to
drive the drum to high spin speeds to extract water
from your load. You will hear a sound associated with
these higher spin speeds. This sound is normal and
will vary slightly as the spin speed varies with load size
and cycle selected.
