OPERATING YOUR WASHER
Understanding what happens in each cycle
When the Cycle Control Knob is set to a
number and pulled out, the washer fills
before agitation and timing start. The washer
begins agitating immediately after filling;
agitation occurs with the washer lid up
or down.
After agitation starts, the Cycle Control
Knob turns clockwise until it points to an
OFF area and the cycle ends.
NOTES:
• The washer pauses briefly throughout
each cycle. These pauses are normal for
washer operation.
• This system helps protect your fabrics by
reducing wash agitation speed during the
last few minutes of wash agitation in the
Normal and Permanent Press cycles.

Understanding normal washer sounds
Your new washer may make sounds that
your old one didn’t. Because the sounds are
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.
During washing
When you select a small load size setting
(on some 2-speed models) for a small wash
load, the water level in your washer is lower.
With this lower water level, you may hear a
clicking sound from the upper portion of the
agitator.
During drain
The rate that water is drained from your
washer depends on your installation. If water
is drained quickly from the washer, you may
hear air being pulled through the pump. This
happens during the end of draining.
After drain and before spin
When the cycle changes from draining to
spinning, you may hear gears engaging.
