PROBLEM
THE PROBLEM SOLVER
(continued)
WASHER IS NOISY
● 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.
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.
● 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 when water level is set higher than
necessary), 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.
● Washer normally pauses between washing steps.
..such
as between wash and spin or
between spin and rinse.
