Aboutthe variablespeed motor.(onsomemodels)

Models WNSBgOSOand WNSB9100use an advanced variable speed motor to provide you

with superior clothes care and wash cycle flexibility. The use of this motor allows your
washer to agitate, more slowly than a conventional washm; and to spin at speeds that
more closely meet the needs of your clothing.

Some ,a-ash cycles are pulsed, and will agitate and soak to provide you with better
cleaning mid less wear on your clothing. Some spin cycles will start slowly and then
acceleram, allovdng more water to be removed from the clothes with less wrinkling.
These fimctions are a normal part of your new v,-asheE
