WASHER DRIVE
MOTOR BELT
IDLER
ARM
The washer drive motor belt is used
to transmit power from the washer
drive motor to the wash and spin
basket. The idler arm pulley
maintains proper drive belt tension.
The drive system provides positive
drive in agitation (clockwise
rotation), and variable speed drive
in spin (counterclockwise rotation).
This dual drive function is a result
of the direction of the drive. In
agitation, the direction of pull is
from pulley to pulley. This causes
the belt to ride tight in the pulley
and provide positive drive. In
spin, the direction of pull is
across the spring
pulley. The idler arm
1 oaded idler
"
senses" the
load and controls belt tension to
provide a gradual increase in speed
as water is extracted. With an
extreme out of balance load, the tub
will
spin at reduced speed during
the spin cycle. This permits the
washer to complete the full cycle.

energized. Water has passed through
the diaphragm bleed orifice, placing
incoming line water pressure on top
of the diaphragm. The bottom of the
idaphragm is essentially at
atmospheric pressure (open to
outlet). This pressure differential
will hold the valve shut.
When the solenoid is energized, the
resulting magnetic field pulls the
armature up into the valve guide.
The armature spring is compressed by
this action. Wehn the armature
moves up, it allows the water on the
top side to the diaphragm to flow
through the main orifice.
The diaphragm bleed orifice is much
smaller than the main orifice and
will not admit enough water to
maintain pressure on the top side of
the diaphragm, thus the pressure on
the top of the diaphragm is reduced
to almost zero. Therefore, the
pressure under the bleed orifice
lifts the diaphragm off of the valve
seat allowing a full flow of water.
I
When the solenoid is de
the armature drops down, closing the
diaphragm main orifice. Water
continues to flow through the
diaphragm bleed orifice, building up
pressure until it equalizes on both
sides of the diaphragm. The spring
then forces the diaphragm down

DRIVE
The dryer drive motor is a single

h.p. motor, rated at 120 volt, 60
hz. An internal overload protector
is built into the motor and will
open due to excessive temperature
rise and/or excessive current.

dryer operations will stop. The
motor protector is self

motor performs three functions.
When the motor is at rest,
a
single-pole, double throw(spdt)
contact closes a circuit to the
motor start windings. When the
motor is started, power is
momentarily supplied to the motor
-to-
through the push
start switch.
As the the motor comes to speed, the
(spdt) contact disconnects the start
winding and supplies power to the
run winding. This provides a
holding circuit to keep the motor
operating after the momentary
push

start switch is released.
As the motor switch operates, a
second set of contacts closes a
circuit to the heating element.
This portion of the motor switch
prevents the heater from operating
until the motor is operating at
normal speed. The motor start
switch is not replaceable.
