As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are
not accustomed to. You may hear various sounds when the
door is locked or unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing,
or spinning process. Between changes in wash actions,
there will be momentary pauses. You will hear water spraying
and splashing during the wash and rinse cycles. These new
sounds and pauses are part of normal washer operation. See
"Troubleshooting."
