PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE
WASHER IS NOISY
● 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
norrnd.
● 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
h@ess
noise. To correct, open the lid and redistribute the load evenly about the wash
basket. Close the lid and restart.
