PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
WASHER IS NOISY
● Make sure washer is level and firm to the floor with rubber foot pads in place
and front jam nuts tight. See your Installation Instructions.
WASHER PAUSES
IN CYCLE
● 
A sharp, 
distinctive sound 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 original position. In extreme cases
(usually occurs when washing a single, heavy item or a small load when water
level is set higher than necessary), the spin basket may strike the outer tub,
creating a loud but harmless noise. To correct, open the lid and redistribute the
load evenly about the wash basket. Close the lid and restart.
● 
Washer normally pauses between washing 
 as between wash and
spin or between spin and rinse.
