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.
The following describes some of the normal sounds
you may hear and what causes them.
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 Wash and Before Drain
When the cycle changes from washing to draining, you
may hear a noise as the gearcase shifts.
During Spin
The washer will cycle on and off.
Understanding what happens in each cycle
When the Cycle Selector Knob is set to a number and
the Start/Pause button is pushed, the washer fills (to
the selected load size) before agitation and timing start.
The washer begins agitating immediately after filling:
agitation occurs only with the washer lid down.
