produce a thumping sound.
This is usually normal.

distributed in the drum.
Not all leveling feet are
resting firmly and evenly on
the floor.

Proper options not selected.
Previously set stains.
Solution
• Stop washing machine, check drum for
foreign objects. If noise continues after
washing machine is restarted, call for
service.

probably out of balance. Stop and
redistribute wash load.

• See Leveling the Appliance in the
Installation section.

require extra cleaning power. Select the
