@beekeyknee: I am in my 60's!   Please see my reply #98:  "The intention of my post was not to complain about the sound, but to verify that my machine is not defective."   My previous machine, a 17-year old run-of-the-mill KitchenAid agitator top-load, did not have a loud drain pump like...

Is there any disadvantage in using an HE detergent in an old-fashioned agitator top loader?

Can the pump be removed without removing the motor by simply removing the three mounting clips? I doubt it; there is not much clearance between the pump and the bottom panel, so I probably cannot drop the pump far enough to disengage it from the motor shaft.

p.s. — The intention of my post was not to complain about the sound, but to verify that my machine is not defective. Just to be "safe", when I get some free time in a few days I probably will remove and inspect the pump. I already ordered a replacement "heavy duty" version of the pump...

LOUD Pumping (Draining) Thanks to Gusherb and the other valuable contributors here, I took delivery of a AWNE92 on Friday. I suspect I have a defect, and I'd appreciate some feedback: Whenever it is pumping (draining), it makes a loud, deep (low pitch) sound like a stalled motor. However, it...

@gusherb: That's a great solution! Does it actually work? It seems counter-intuitive that you can add Prewash to a Spin-only cycle. @mtn1584 and Imperial70: The Soak cycle on your machines, absent from the 82, seems to do what I had in mind — after agitation, soak and spin, the Soak cycle...

Pre-Wash Pre-Wash only adds 4 minutes to the cycle, according to the OP. After the 4-minute pre-wash, does the machine stop and wait for you to add detergent for the main wash cycle? Do you then press the green button on the right to begin the main wash? Does anyone know how this compares...
