"Humming" sound during prewash, wash and rinse High pitch sound during a spin cycle,
The internal pump will intermittently turn on and off.
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.
Sloshing or gurgling water sound when washer is off and the tub is rotated.
The sealed balance ring around the tub contains a liquid and is designed to make the washer run smoothly.
"Whirring" or "Sloshing" sound followed by a pause, repeatedthroughout the wash cycle, Clothes washer maintains a slightly reduced spin speed after achieving a higher spin speed. The spin speed slows down dramatically when it sounds like an out-of-balance load.
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 to create less noise and vibration.
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 NeptuneTM clothes washer uses a true adaptive fill and adds more water during the wash cycle as it is needed. OR 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.
