Operating Instructions
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. DOOR LOCK Your washer is equipped with a
door lock with an electric solenoid. There will
be a clicking sound as the washer door is being
locked or unlocked.
D. 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.
E. 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.
