Maytag MAH2400AWW Owners Manual - Page 15

Operating Sounds High-pitched sound during a spin cycle. • The motor increases speed to spin the tub to remove moisture from the load. Flushing water sound coming from the dispenser area. • 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. Whirring or sloshing sound followed by a pause, repeated throughout the wash cycle. • The tub rotates one direction followed by a pause. The tub reverses direction and pauses. This action continues throughout the cycle. Washer maintains a slightly reduced spin speed after achieving a higher spin speed. • After reaching the maximum spin speed, the machine may reduce spin speed slightly for maximum performance. The spin speed slows down dramatically when it sounds like an out-of-balance load. • The tumbler will begin to accelerate to speed, then slows back down to redistribute the load more evenly when an unbalanced load occurs. Water is added after the washer has been tumbling for a while. • 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. Clicking/draining sounds when washer is started. Washer beeps after cycle has started. Rhythmic air rushing during spin. Rapid snapping and/or popping sound from the rear of the washer during spin. • 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. 14
