NORMAL SOUNDS
As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not
accustomed to. You may hear various sounds occurring during
the washing, rinsing, and spinning process. Between changes in
wash actions, there will be momentary pauses. You will hear water
spraying and splashing during the wash and rinse cycles. You may
hear air being pulled through the pump during the end of draining
or gears changing when the cycle changes. These sounds are part
of normal washer operation.
