CLOTHES WASHER
High pitched sound during a spin cycle.
The motor increases speed to spin the tub to remove moisture from the
load.
Detergent is dispensed at the start of the cycle. Bleach is dispensed during
final minutes of wash. Fabric softener is dispensed during the third rinse
while the washer is filling.
The sealed balance ring around the tub contains a liquid and is designed to
make the washer spin smoothly.
The tub rotates one direction followed by a pause.The tub reverses direc-
tion and pauses.This action continues throughout the cycle.
After reaching the maximum spin speed, the machine may reduce spin speed
slightly for maximum performance.
The tumbler will begin to accelerate to speed, then slows back down to
redistribute the load more evenly when an unbalanced load occurs.

clothes washer uses a true adaptive fill and adds more
water during the wash cycle as it is needed.
Water flows through the dispenser to dilute and add bleach or fabric
softener at the appropriate time. This will occur even if bleach and
fabric softener are not used.
Before the washer starts to fill, it will make a series of clicking noises
to check the door lock and do a quick drain.

ance load.
