• The motor increases speed to spin the tub to remove moisture from the load.
• Detergent is dispensed at the start of the cycle. Bleach is dispensed during final
minutes of wash. Fabric softener is dispensed during the third rinse while the washer
is filling.
• The tub rotates one direction followed by a pause.The tub reverses direction and
pauses.This action continues throughout the cycle.
• After reaching the maximum spin speed, the machine may reduce spin speed slightly
for maximum performance.
• The tumbler will begin to accelerate to speed, then slows back down to redistribute
the load more evenly when an unbalanced load occurs.
• The Maytag Neptune ® clothes washer uses a true adaptive fill and adds more water
during the wash cycle as it is needed.
• Water flows through the dispenser to dilute and add bleach or fabric softener at the
appropriate time.This will occur even if bleach and fabric softener are not used.
• Before the washer starts to fill, it will make a series of clicking noises to check the
door lock and do a quick drain.
• This is audio confirmation the door has locked successfully.
• Due to tub movement during the spin cycle, air is transferred in and out of the tub
to provide optimum performance.
• Water is being extracted through the drain holes in the spinner and is hitting the
outer tub before draining out of the machine.
