SELF-CLEANING LINT FILTER
for your
Benefit
Lint is filtered from the load
automatically - there’s no
messy cleanup.
Your washer features a self-cleaning
filter that traps lint from the water while
the washer is washing and deep rinsing
the laundry. The trapped lint is flushed
down the drain automatically. You don’t
have to clean the filter.
Vanes
for your
Benefit
QUIET PAK™
The QUIET PAK™ system is designed to
reduce water sounds and ringing noises.
This feature is available on select Kenmore
washers. On these models, the cabinet
is insulated with sound-dampening mate­
rials for superior vibration and sound­
damping characteristics.
DUAL-ACTION™ AGITATOR
The Kenmore DUAL-ACTION"* Agitator
gives you flexible fabric care for even
your largest loads.
The best cleaning action
in your washer takes place
at the bottom where the
agitator vanes move back
and forth to flex the fabric,
loosening the soil.
The upper portion of the
agitator moves in only
one direction to help you
wash larger loads. The clockwise
rotation of the agitator forces the clothes
on top down to the bottom where most
of the cleaning action takes place.
DOUBLE ROLL-OVER
DUAL-ACTION™ AGITATOR
This agitator operates identi­
cally to the DUAL-ACTION
Agitator and adds special
vanes to help push the
clothes down in a spiraling
pattern, displacing the
clothes that are on the
bottom with a “roll-over”
motion. These uniquely
designed vanes are more
efficient in getting the clothes to “roll"
down to where they are cleaned.
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 spinnirig, you may hear a noise as the
gearcase shifts.
