POSSIBLE CAUSE
WATER LEAKS
●
Make sure hose connections are
tight
at faucets.
●
Make sure end of drain hose is correctly inserted in and secured to drain facility.
WASHER IS NOISY
Q
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.
●
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
originrd
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, stop
the
washer by pushing in the Cycle Selector knob, open the lid and
redistribute the load
evenly
about the wash basket. Close the lid and restart.
