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 Washing
When you select a small load size set­
ting for a small wash load, your washer
has a lower water level. With this lower
water level, you may hear a clicking sound
from the upper portion of the agitator.
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 Drain and Before Spin
When the cycle changes from draining
to spinning, you may hear a noise as the
gearcase shifts.
USING THE LIQUID CHLORINE
BLEACH DISPENSER
for \jonr
Benefit
Automatically dilutes bleach to
ensure the cleanest and brightest
loads.
Always measure liquid chlorine bleach.
Use a measuring cup, do not guess.
Do not pour directly from bottle. Never
use more than 1 cup for a full load.
Use less with smaller loads. Follow
manufacturer’s directions for safe use.
A cup with a pouring spout will help
you avoid spilling.
After loading the washer, pour measured
liquid chlorine bleach carefully into the
dispenser.
• Do not let bleach splash, drip, or run
down into washer basket. Undiluted
bleach will damage any fabric it touches.
• Start the washer. Bleach will be diluted
automatically before it comes in contact
with the wash load.
NOTE: Do not use this dispenser to add
powdered chlorine or color-safe bleach
to your wash load. The dispenser is for
liquid chlorine bleach only.
