Washer/Dryer Combo

Regrettably, not all Laundry appliances feature the option of adjusting the Signal Chimes. Washer/Dryer combination units for example, due to real estate limitation on the control panel, had to waive off the Signal adjustment feature to accommodate Drying cycles as shown in below description.


Control Panel 2

 

Other models, such as the WM3488H* washer/dryer combination, feature the Signal ON/OFF adjustment as a secondary function option under MAIN button called “Water Plus”. Customers need to press and hold that button for at least 3 seconds to enable or disable Chime Signal Sound. There are no further adjustment for volume.

SideKick Washers

As for any of the SideKick™ pedestal washers, regrettably, adjusting melody and button tone Signal option is not featured on those units. Some SideKick™ pedestal washer customers have expressed their concerns wishing to completely disable sound notification so we have forward such request to the factory for review in the hope of a resolution.
