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.
