Normal sounds you may hear
The following sounds may be heard while the washer is operating. They are normal.
Clicking:
• Lid lock relay when the lid locks and unlocks.
• The washer will make a series of clicking noises as it changes the cleaning mode.
High pitched noise:
The wash basket spins faster to remove moisture from the load.
Spraying or hissing:
Water spraying or circulating during the cycle.
Humming or gurgling:
Drain pump pumping water from the washer at the end of a cycle.
Water sloshing sound:
A liquid in the balance ring around the wash basket helps the basket spin smoothly.
(Washer is turned off and tub is rotated.)
Sound of water being added after the washer has already been operating:
• The washer adapts to the load size and type to add more water to the cycle as needed.
• The wash load may be unbalanced. If the washer senses that the load is unbalanced, it will stop and refill to redistribute the
load.
• The washer may be diluting laundry additives to add to the wash load.
