EPTUNE ® CLOTHES WASHER
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 during final
minutes of wash. 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 to create less noise and vibration.
The tumbler will begin to accelerate to speed, then slows back down to redis-
tribute the load more evenly when an unbalanced load occurs.
The Maytag Neptune ® clothes washer uses a true adaptive fill and adds more
water during the wash cycle as it is needed.
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.

Flushing water sound coming from
the dispenser area.
Sloshing or gurgling water sound
when washer is off and the tub is

cally when it sounds like an out-of-bal-
ance load.

has been tumbling
for a while.
