PROBLEM
WASHER IS NOISY
WASHER PAUSES
IN CYCLE
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Make sure washer is level and firm to the floor with rubber foot pads in place and
front jam nuts tight. See your Installation Instructions.
A sharp, distinctive sound will be heard at the end of each spin period as the motor
stops and the spin brake inside the transmission “locks in.” This sound is normal.
Heavily unbalanced loads can cause the washer to vibrate excessively during spin, and
may cause it to move from its original position. In extreme cases (usually occurs when
washing a single, heavy item or a small load in a tub full of water), the spin basket
may strike the outer tub, creating a loud but harmless noise. To correct, open the lid
and redistribute the load evenly about the wash basket. Close the lid and restart.
