 Make sure washer is level and firm to the floor with rubber foot pads in place and

A sharp, distinctive 

 will be heard at the end of each spin period as the motor

stops and the spin brake inside the transmission “locks in.” This sound is normal.

● 

Heavily unbalanced loads can cause the washer to vibrate excessively during spin,

and may cause it to move from its

 or a small load when water level is set higher than

necessary), the spin basket 

 strike the outer tub, creating a loud but harmless noise.

To correct, stop 

 washer by pushing in the Cycle Selector knob, open the lid and

redistribute the load 

 about the wash basket. Close the lid and restart.
