Rating Plate and Mini-Manual Location
The rating plate containing model and serial number is located on the rear of the control panel in the center. If you lean over the washer y ou can see the rating plate without mo ving the unit.
Rating Plate at rear of backsplash
The full size electronic washer incorporates optimum washability, capacity , quiet operation, and ease of service. The washer is 100 percent front serviceable, with 40% few er parts. It f eatures an A uto Balance suspension system, that allows greater out of balance capacity.
Drive system has a rotating transmission with metal gears and a disc brake, and it comes as a single replaceable component. The brake is activated when the end of cycle occurs and also, when the lid is lifted.
All washers are manufactured and supplied with provisions f or proper grounding. The installation instructions advise on proper grounding. Safety devices should never be removed unless for servicing, and must always be replaced prior to placing the washer back in active service.
The mini manual is located in the backsplash, and contains service information

Lint Removal System
1.
The lint filtering system consist of the turbo pump, agitator, air bell, and self cleaning filter at bottom of spin basket. During agitate water moves throught the sides and up from the bottom throught the self cleaning filters.
During pump down, prior to spin, the turbo pump is energized, and water is drawn out the sides and down through the self cleaning filter to clean and removal lint from the bottom side of the filter area, and flush lint down the drain.
Energy Saving
All wash cycles include energy-saving cold water rinse. Connector in backsplash can be connected for warm rinse.
Total Cycle Time
18.5 minute wash cycle, plus fill time. Wash time is 11 minutes with a final spin speed of approxi­mately 630 RPM. Washer will automatically shut off at end of cycle.

Control Panel
The control panel is designed with ease of service being the major consideration. The switches are tab interlock, and harness connectors are designed to only fit the correct mating connector. Control panel is galvanized, with three tabs designed to al­low the switchtrim to be supported during service. Mini-Manual is located in the control panel.
1. Remove four (4) T20H Torx screws from the top of control panel as shown. (Mini-Manual can be accessed from this position as illustrated.
2. Water valve is serviceable by removing the (4) T20H Torx screws from the top of the control panel, and rotating the switchtrim forward. Two 1/4” hex screws mount the water valve to the console. The water valve can be changed from the front by first “pinching off” the inlet hoses and pulling through back of control panel to remov e.

Timer
The timer is an Eaton double switch bank, with polarized harness connectors. This insures that the correct harness connector will only fit the mating switch bank.
Timer motor and timer are NOT interchangeable with the “S” models and earlier timers. It is stocked as one compo­nent, and repair parts are not available. The mounting bracket is stocked as a separate part and can be reused to install the replacement timer. Timer cam charts and schematics are shown in this manual.

Cabinet
Cabinet is galvanized sheet metal, with powdered
paint coating and is rust resistant. It has a fully en-
closed bottom, and is 3 sided with a front panel.
The lid has a patented colored lid instruction that is
unique to each model. Proper lid should be used to
replace a lid, so that the correct instructions stay
with the washer. The levelling legs are installed from
the factory , and are P olypropylene with Santoprene
non-skid base. Base of le velling legs ha ve a 1” he x
nut design to allow easy adjustment if necessary.
Rear is self levelling, and is accomplished b y lifting
the rear legs 4” off the floor and lowering the washer .

Suspension
REMOVE ROD AND SPRING
ASSEMBLIES IN FRONT
The suspension system is unique in that the spin basket, tub, and leg and platf orm assembly are sus­pended for the rod support. The rod suppor t sets atop the cabinet and provides, through 4 sock et lin­ers durable ball joints. The rod support gives the suspension a pivot point for the rod and spring as­sembly . A dampening system consisting of 4 damp­ening straps mounted to the tub cover, dampens rotation movement during start up and braking.
The 4 spring and rod assemblies should be replaced in with the correct part, since the spring compres­sion is different for the front and the bac k. This is to compensate for the added weight of the motor . The plastic cover ov er the spring assemblies provides a housing that acts as an air shock, to give proper compression during the movement of the wash ac­tion. The spring and rod assembly have been tested to support a weight of 700 lbs. each, to insure a durable suspension system.
ROD AND SPRING FUNCTIONS AS AN AIR SHOCK (CUT AWAY VIEW)
To Ser vice Suspension
1. Remove front panel. Remove co v er and lid.
2. Remo ve 4 dampening screws front dampeners at tub cover.
3. Remove front rod and spr ing assemblies. (One at a time), by lifting tub/platform up with one hand to take weight off of suspension bellows.
(NOTE: to remove rod and spring assembly, hold down on ball joint and pull rod forward gently to re­lease.)
4. Using thumb and forefinger to release, pull the bellows out of the platform, and allow to hang freely. Repeat for other side of front.
5. The tub/platform assembly will no w lean forward; after both rod and spring assemblies are released. Access the rear spring through the top of the cabi­net, and unhook the two rear spring and rod as­semblies.
(TECH TIP: Allow the front and back rod and spring assemblies to hang freely , they won’t be in your way, and it will keep the proper r od and spring correctly located.)

Transmission (con’t.)
NOTE: T ransmission cuta way view belo w is shown to provide you with a glimpse of the internal work­ings of this rotating transmission. It features all metal gears, metal counterweight, and 5.5 oz. of oil. The transmission and quiet brake are one compo­nent, and is replaced and not rebuilt.
REMOVE PLATFORM
CUTAWAY VIEW OF ROTATING
TRANSMISSION
New Transmission provides durability with its all-metal gears. There are no plastic gears to w ear or break. All­metal gears provide more durability than plastic gears of the same size. These metal gears allow for a smaller and more balanced transmission. Agitation is accom­plished by turning the transmission in a clockwise mo­tion. Spin speeds occur when the tr ansmission is spun or rotated in a counterclockwise motion. A triple lip seal with garter spring provides tub seal system. Care must be taken to make sure garter spring is in place when replacing transmission. The tub bushing is an oil im­pregnated type, and is not replaceable. It is molded in place at the factory .
