Important Safety Information  
local codes and be made by licensed personnel  
when required. Do not do it yourself unless you know  
how!  
WARNING  
!
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury  
or death to persons when using your washer, follow  
these basic precautions:  
To reduce the risk of fire, clothes which have traces  
of any flammable substances such as vegetable oil,  
cooking oil, machine oil, flammable chemicals,  
thinner, etc. or anything containing wax or chemicals  
such as in mops and cleaning cloths, must not be  
put into the washer. These flammable substances  
may cause the fabric to catch on fire by itself.  
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate  
static unless recommended by the manufacturer of  
the fabric softener or product.  
• Keep your washer in good condition. Bumping or  
dropping the washer can damage safety features. If  
this occurs, have your washer checked by a qualified  
service person.  
• Replace worn power cords and/or loose plugs.  
• Be sure water connections have a shut-off valve and  
that fill hose connections are tight. Close the shut-off  
valves at the end of each wash day.  
• Loading lid must be closed any time the washer is in  
operational fill, tumble, or spin. Do not attempt to  
bypass the loading lid switch by permitting the  
washer to operate with the loading lid open.  
• Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions  
on packages of laundry and cleaning aids. Heed all  
warnings or precautions. To reduce the risk of  
poisoning or chemical burns, keep them out of the  
reach of children at all times (preferably in a locked  
cabinet).  
• Read all instructions before using the washer.  
• Refer to the Grounding Instructions in the Installation  
Manual for the proper grounding of the washer.  
• Do not wash articles that have been previously  
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with  
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or  
explosive substances as they give off vapors that  
could ignite or explode.  
• Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other  
flammable or explosive substances to the wash  
water. These substances give off vapors that could  
ignite or explode.  
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be  
produced in a hot water system that has not been  
used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas is  
explosive. If the hot water system has not been used  
for such a period, before using a washing machine or  
combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot water  
faucets and let the water flow from each for several  
minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen  
gas. The gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an  
open flame during this time.  
• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.  
Close supervision of children is necessary when the  
washer is used near children. This is a safety rule for  
all appliances.  
• Before the washer is removed from service or  
discarded, remove the lid to the washing  
compartment.  
• Do not reach into the washer if the wash tub is  
moving.  
• Do not install or store the washer where it will be  
exposed to water and/or weather.  
• Always follow the fabric care instructions supplied by  
the garment manufacturer.  
• Never operate the washer with any guards and/or  
panels removed.  
• Do not operate the washer with missing or broken  
parts.  
• Do not bypass any safety devices.  
• Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this  
washer according to the manufacturer’s instructions  
may result in conditions which can produce bodily  
injury and/or property damage.  
• Do not tamper with the controls.  
• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer, or  
attempt any servicing unless specifically  
recommended in the User-Maintenance instructions  
or in published user-repair instructions that you  
understand and have the skills to carry out.  
To reduce the risk of an electric shock or fire, do not  
use an extension cord or an adapter to connect the  
washer to the electrical power source.  
NOTE: The Warnings and Important Safety Instructions  
appearing in this manual are not meant to cover  
all possible conditions and situations that may  
occur. Common sense, caution and care must  
be exercised when installing, maintaining, or  
operating the washer.  
• Use your washer only for its intended purpose,  
washing clothes.  
• Always disconnect the washer from electrical supply  
before attempting any service. Disconnect the power  
cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.  
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or  
the manufacturer about any problems or conditions you  
do not understand.  
• Install the washer according to the Installation  
Instructions.All connections for water, drain,  
electrical power and grounding must comply with

is important to understand that water pressure is the  
operation force in the water valve.  
General Information  
HOW IT WORKS  
When the valve operating solenoid is energized, a  
magnetic field is produced that lifts the plunger away from  
the pressure release hole in the center of the diaphragm.  
The pressure in the guide tube area is released through  
the hole allowing the inlet pressure to lift the diaphragm off  
of the outlet seat. Water flows under the diaphragm and  
out through the valve outlet.  
The cycles are made up of three basic operations Fill,  
agitate and drain/spin. These operations are sequenced  
by the controls (timer or microprocessor board) to provide  
a proper cleaning cycle for each of several different  
fabrics.  
Because the bleed holes cannot allow water into the  
guide tube area as rapidly as it can escape out through  
the pressure release hole, the diaphragm will remain in  
the open position as long as the plunger is held away  
from the release hole.  
FILL  
Pressurized hot and cold water supplies are required.  
The dynamic, or flow pressure should be between 30 lbs.  
per square inch and 80 lbs. per square inch (p.s.i.).  
Pressure below 20 lbs p.s.i. may cause water line  
hammering.  
When the plunger is released (solenoid coil de-energized),  
it again blocks the release hole allowing pressure entering  
though the bleed holes to again force the diaphragm back  
against the outlet seat, stopping the flow of water. A  
nozzle arrangement at the center of the diaphragm  
causes the valve closure to be gradual and smooth to  
reduce the chances of water hammer as the valve closes.  
Hot water is describe to be 140° F and cold water  
temperature should be 75° F. A 50-50 mix of hot water  
and cold should result in warm temperature between  
100° F and 105° F.  
The components involved in a fill operation are the water  
valve assembly, the water level control and the timer or  
control board. The control board or timer along with the  
selector switch tell the valve whether to allow hot, cold or  
both (warm) into the washer. The water level control  
(a.k.a. pressure switch) controls the level of the water in  
the washer. It should be at the top row of holes  
Water Level Control (Pressure Switch)  
The water level switch is a single pole-double throw switch  
which is activated by air pressure increase against a  
sealed diaphragm. An air hose is connected to a spout at  
the bottom of the outer water container (outer tub) and to  
an inlet spout at the water level control body.  
(perforations) in the washer basket plus or minus 1/4 inch.  
As water enters the tubs and the water level raises, air is  
trapped in the air dome at the bottom of the pressure  
switch hoses. As the water level increases, this air is  
pushed up the hose and against the diaphragm in the  
water level control body.  
Water Valve (Non-Thermostatic)  
The water valve used on the top load washers is designed  
to operate with in a pressure range of 30-120 p.s.i.. Flow  
pressure cannot fall below 20 p.s.i. or valves may fail to  
close when solenoids are de-energized.  
The control is designed to cause the contact points to  
switch when the water level in the wash basket (and the  
outer container) reach a particular level. At that point the  
fill circuits are disconnected and the motor circuit is  
energized. This corresponds to empty = fill and full = run.  
Water from source enters valve at inlet and pushes up on  
diaphragm. The solenoid plunger and the plunger spring  
are not strong enough to hold the diaphragm in a closed  
position. The diaphragm lifted and some water will flow  
under the diaphragm and into the outlet.  
Air leaks at the hose connections cannot be tolerated for  
proper operation of the water level control.  
Some water also flows through bleeder holes in the  
diaphragm and into the guide tube area behind the  
diaphragm. With the solenoid not energized, the plunger  
would block the pressure release hole allowing the guide  
tube to pressurize to source pressure. This causes the  
diaphragm to be pushed against the valve seat blocking  
the valve seat and closing the outlet.  
In timer models, a bypass circuit is provided by the timer  
and selector switch to continue power to the motor in spin  
operations. Without the bypass, the drive motor would  
stop when sufficient water had been pumped out of the  
washbasket to cause the pressure switch to reset to the  
”empty” position. Microprocessor models do not need the  
bypass circuit.  
While there is equal pressure (source pressure) on both  
sides of the diaphragm, the pressure in the guide tube  
area covers a greater surface area of the diaphragm. The  
center (outlet area) on the bottom side of the diaphragm is  
at atmospheric pressure so the valve remains closed. It

General Information  
rotates down the shaft, a lug on the pulley comes against  
a drive lug which is splined to the helical drive shaft. At  
this point the drive shaft turns with the pulley. The pulley  
bearing which merely resting on top of the pulley also  
rotates with the pulley, drive lug and helical drive shaft.  
DRIVE MOTOR  
When the water level/pressure switch is satisfied circuits  
are completed to the main drive motor. The drive motor is  
a special high torque split-phase, four pole motor. Two  
windings are used. The run winding is designed for full  
time use in wash and spin. A second winding, called the  
auxiliary or “start” winding is used to provide starting  
torque and determine direction of rotation. Acentrifugal  
switch is mounted to the upper end bell of the motor and  
serves to disconnect the start winding as the motor  
reaches running speed.  
At the top of the drive shaft is a spined gear. As it rotates  
it drives a series of gears causing the agitator to move  
back and forth in an arc creating the water action for the  
wash.  
The tub and transmission are locked in place and cannot  
turn because the brake rotor and brake shoe (which is  
splined to the transmission ) is being held down against  
the brake drum by the brake spring.  
Contact sets in a timer or in a motor reversing relay  
provide proper connection to the motor to cause it to run  
clockwise in agitate and counterclockwise in spin (viewed  
from the top).  
SPIN  
When the motor reverses, the pulley will turn in a  
clockwise (viewed from the bottom). This causes the  
pulley and bearing to turn. The pulley climbs the threads  
on the helical drive shaft overcoming the force of the brake  
spring to lift the brake rotor and brake shoe off the brake  
drum.  
The motor drives the power unit by means of a special  
design “V” belt. The belt has a “slip factor” designed to  
act as a slip clutch.  
As the pulley climbs the shaft and overcomes the force of  
the brake spring, there is a downward pull on the shaft.  
TRANSMISSION  
The helical drive shaft drives a pinion gear (which is  
splined to the top of the drive shaft) at approximately 618  
r.p.m. This drives the bevel gear at approximately 150  
r.p.m.  
Within the transmission there are two washers which act  
as a spin clutch. This is a friction clutch consisting of a  
bronze washer which is splined to and turns the drive  
shaft. Between this washer and the pinion gear is a steel  
washer which is locked to the transmission case.  
The pivot pin of the yoke portion of the torque block and  
yoke assembly is driven in a circular motion (orbit) around  
an imaginary center point of the bevel gear center axis.  
The yoke drives the torque block back and forth through  
an arc of approximately 97 degrees at the rate of about  
150 times per minute. Because this is a continuous  
motion, the drive provides very smooth operation. The low  
number of parts results in improved dependability. This  
gear case can be serviced without removing it from the  
washer.  
As the helical shaft is pulled downward, the two clutch  
washers under the pinion are forced together. This is  
done rapidly and slippage occurs only during the first two  
or three revolutions, until the film of oil between the two  
clutch washers is forced out.  
The drive occurs when the washers are forced together  
and the pulley has climbed the shaft as far as it can. The  
driving force has locked the pulley, brake rotor, drive tube  
and gear case together and all will turn as a unit in the  
same direction as the pulley is turning, causing the tube  
to spin is a counterclockwise direction (as viewed from  
the top).  
HELICAL DRIVE  
The helical drive mechanism used in the washer is simple  
- not requiring a special device or linkage to shift the  
washer from agitation to spin.  
Spin cycle completed:  
When the washer reaches the end of the spin cycle, the  
drive force is removed. Thus, there is no force supplied to  
lock the components together or to compress the brake  
spring. Therefore, the downward force of the brake spring  
and the momentum of the spinning washbasket effectively  
reverse all the actions outlined above.  
The drive mechanism utilizes a reversible motor and  
helical (threaded) drive shaft. Apulley which is threaded  
to the helical drive shaft moves either up or down the shaft  
dependent upon the direction it is turned by the drive  
motor by means of a drive belt.  
AGITATION  
When the pulley is turning counterclockwise (viewed from  
the bottom) it moves down the helical drive shaft. As it

WARNING  
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death, disconnect power to unit before servicing, unless testing  
requires power.  
Drive Lug Adjustment  
3/8”  
Pulley  
Lug  
1. Disconnect power supply to unit.  
2. Turn the drive pulley onto the shaft clockwise until all  
play is taken up.  
3. Holding the pulley in this position, the distance  
between drive and pulley lugs should be 3/8”.  
4. Turn pulley counterclockwise and check to see that  
the drive lug and pulley are making contact.  
Note: There should always be clearance between the  
bottom of the pulley and the top of the stop lug to  
prevent the drive pulley from dragging on the drive  
lug, forcing it off the shaft.

Damper Pad Noise  
Dry or poorly lubricated damper pads can result in a rubbing noise during the beginning and end of the spin cycle. If  
this condition is encountered, the damper pads should be lubricated or replaced. See “Damper Assembly” in  
Disassembly Procedures Section of this manual.  
Pump Belt Adjustment  
1. Disconnect power supply to unit.  
1/4”  
2. Pull motor forward so drive belt is tight.  
3. With washer in an upright position, grasp the pump  
belt in the middle and flex. With the belt flexed, it  
should be tightened so that there is approximately 1/  
4” between the inside surfaces of the pump belt before  
movement of the motor is felt.  
4. If necessary, tilt washer and loosen screws holding  
pump to base frame and position pump to attain the  
proper 1/4” dimension.

WARNING  
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death, disconnect power to unit before servicing, unless testing  
requires power.  
Continuity test of “load” devices will show varying levels of  
ELECTRICAL TROUBLESHOOTING  
resistance from very low for some transformer and motor  
windings to very high for some timer motors and  
components on control boards. Usually it is more  
important to know if there is a path for current flow through  
a device (continuity ) that to know the exact resistance  
(ohms) of the device.  
The malfunction of an electrical circuit cannot easily be  
diagnosed unless you first understand how it functions  
when operating normally. The electrical schematic and  
wiring diagram includes a cycle sequence chart keyed to  
the contacts in the timer, relay and/or control switches.  
Continuity tests of switches will show virtually no  
resistance across a closed contacts. Resistance, even  
low values indicate burned or dirty contacts in a switch.  
!
CAUTION  
Resistance or continuity testing is done with the product  
disconnected from power. Failure to do so can result in  
damage to your meter.  
When checking components or circuit paths for continuity,  
external wiring should be disconnected to eliminate false  
readings through external paths. Isolate what you want to  
test.  
For the most part, we will only be concerned with  
continuity. Is there a path or not? References are made  
between a “closed” (Continuity) reading and an “open (No  
continuity) reading. One note, when you get and “open”  
reading, try a higher resistance range (setting). A very  
high resistance appears as an “open” on the lower ranges.  
For best accuracy always “rezero” meter when changing  
ranges and/or the physical position of the meter.  
Continuity testing, as related to an electrical component,  
is the check of a part for an “open” or closed” circuit.  
Electrical components fall into two general categories.  
1. Loads - Devices that use or consume electricity.  
Examples would include drive motor, timer and  
solenoid coils.  
2. Switches - Devices that control the supply of  
electricity to the load or loads in a circuit.  
Examples include lid switches, timer contacts  
selector switch and relay contacts.

Belts  
Check belt for excessive wear or being Replace if belt if damaged  
burnt and cracking  
MOTOR TESTING  
A motor test cord may be used to electrically check operation of the various electrical components without removing  
them from the unit. Testing in this manner merely determines whether or not part will function independently of other  
electrical components. In order to make accurate test, proper connection of the motor test cord is important.  
All four leads of the test cord are required to test the washer drive motor. The following drawing shows installation of  
the test cord on washer drive motor. Reversing the motor from agitation to spin is accomplished by reversing the test  
cord wires B and C.
