USING YOUR WASHER
UNDERSTANDING NORMAL WASHER SOUNDS
During drain
If water is drained quickly from your washer
(depending on your installation), you may hear air
being pulled through the pump during the end of
draining.
After drain and before spin
When the cycle changes from draining to spinning,
you may hear gears engaging.
Your new washer may make sounds your old one
didn’t. Because the sounds may be unfamiliar, you
may be concerned about them. Don’t be; most of
them are normal.
The following describes some of the sounds you
may hear and what causes them.
Your washer has a self-cleaning lint filter at the bot-
tom of the basket. Wash and rinse water flow over
the filter during agitation, separating the lint from
the water. The lint spins out of the system during
the spin part of the cycle.
If your washer drains into a tub, remove any lint
collected in the tub or strainer.
