WARNING

2. Troubleshooting Knocking Noise

If a frontload washer produces a noise similar to a

knock on a door, it might be due to a flat spot on

the belt. The knocking sound is made when the

flat spot hits the pulley. The knocking may occur

during a pulse spin and fade after reaching a

higher RPM.

To correct this condition, replace the belt.

3. Troubleshooting Coin Drop

a. Non-Electronic Coin Drops:

When coin is placed into coin slot, the coin

should roll down drop and be heard dropping into

coin vault. If coin does not fall into coin vault or

if coin drop sensor does not register that coin has

been entered, follow troubleshooting instructions

on following page. Refer to Figure 1 for path that

coin follows when working properly.

IMPORTANT: Never use oil to correct coin drop

problems. Oil residue will prevent coins from

rolling properly.

IMPORTANT: Do not bend or damage mechanical

parts within coin drop.
