Important Safety Information

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death to persons when using your washer, follow these basic precautions:

• 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 door 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Install the washer according to the Installation Instructions. All connections for water, drain, electrical power and grounding must comply with local codes and be made by licensed personnel when required. Do not do it yourself unless you know how!

• 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 door must be closed any time the washer is in operational fill, tumble, or spin. Do not attempt to bypass the loading door switch by permitting the washer to operate with the loading door 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).

• 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.

NOTE: The Warning 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.

Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or the manufacturer about any problems or conditions you do not understand.

General Information

Proper Grounding and Polarization of 120 Volts Wall Outlets

For the safety of our customers and the service technician ALL appliances have a three–prong power cord and MUST be connected to a properly polarized AND grounded wall outlet.

This information was written for those who do not understand grounding and polarization of a wall outlet.

A 120 volt wall outlet must always be wired as shown below.

prong

This equipment MUST be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This unit is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the equipment is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install a threeslot receptacle. This unit should be plugged into a separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating as shown in the appropriate drawing. Models operate with a 120 supply voltage.

Explanation Polarization–This means that the larger slot must be

neutral and the small slot must be hot (live). Mispolarized–The outlet is miswired so that the larger slot is hot (live) and the smaller slot is neutral. Grounded–This means the round hole connection is connected to earth ground through a connection to the main power panel. Ungrounded–The round hole connection is not complete to earth ground and/or the main power panel.

Grounding Instructions

WARNING

• To avoid the risk of electrical shock or death, do not alter the plug.

• Do not remove grounding prong when installing grounded appliance in a home that does not have three wire grounding receptacle. Under no condition is grounding prong to be cut off or removed. It is the personal responsibility of the consumer to contact a qualified electrician and have properly grounded three prong wall receptacle installed in accordance with appropriate electrical codes

• To avoid the risk of electrical shock or death, this equipment must be grounded.

General Information

General Operation Definition

The cycle begins with a wash fill. The water temperature is determined by the temperature selector. While water fills the washtub, a column of air is trapped in the pressure bulb and hose. Air pressure continues to increase as the washtub fills with water until the pressure is enough to activate the pressure switch. Pressure switch then causes the wash fill to stop and agitation to begin. However, the loading door must be closed for the washer to agitate or spin.

The washer uses a reversing type motor, a special drive belt and an idler assembly. Idler assembly applies tension to the outside of the drive belt.

During agitation, the motor runs in a counterclockwise direction. The spring tension on the idler pulley applies tension required to reduce the slack on the drive belt and maintain maximum belt to motor pulley contact. This eliminates belt slippage and ensures an efficient wash action, even with extra large loads.

The belt drives the transmission drive pulley in a counterclockwise direction. The pulley drives the helix which is attached to the input shaft of the transmission. This causes the input shaft to turn inside of a roller clutch which is pressed into the transmission cover. This roller clutch acts as a bearing in a counterclockwise direction allowing the transmission gears to operate. The transmission’s rack and pinion gear design produces a 210° agitation stroke at the output shaft of the transmission which drives the agitator. The brake assembly remains locked during the agitation mode since no pressure is applied to it by the transmission drive pulley.

Temperature switch

Pressure switch

After the wash agitation is completed, the timer advances into the first spin. During spin, the motor reverses turning in a clockwise direction to spin the water out of the washtub. The combination of water, washtub and load weight cause the drive belt tension on the idler side of the belt to overtake the idler spring pressure allowing the belt to slack on the opposite side. This reduces the belt to pulley contact and allows slipping between the belt and pulley.

As water is removed by the direct drive pump and the momentum of the washtub increases, the idler spring tension gradually overcomes the belt tension removing the belt slack. This eventually increases the belt to pulley contact until maximum spin speed is achieved.

The drive pulley turns clockwise riding up the ramps of the helix, exerting pressure on the brake and forcing it to release from brake pads. The helix drives the input shaft of the transmission, and when the input shaft turns in a clockwise direction the roller clutch locks onto the shaft causing the entire transmission assembly to turn. None of the gears in the transmission are operating at this time. The hub of the washtub is attached to the transmission tube and rotates with the transmission assembly. The centrifugal force created by the spinning washtub causes water to be extracted from the clothes.

Water is introduced during the first spin to “SPRAY” the garments and remove suds from them. The initial spin is followed by rinse agitation to rinse away any detergent residue. The washer fills and then agitates like the wash portion of the cycle. Following rinse agitation, a final spin extracts the rinse water from the clothes preparing them for the dryer.

Automatic Temperature Control

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, disconnect power to washer before servicing, unless testing requires it.

ETC Control Operation

ETC Cold Fill- The ETC cold fill toggles the water valve hot supply on and off to maintain a cold wash temperature

of approximately 55 to 65° F. If the cold water output is above 55°F, the ETC Control Board will not energize. As a result ETC will not affect the water fill process in the cold wash setting.

ETC Warm Fill- The ETC warm fill toggles the water valve hot supply on and off to maintain a warm wash

temperature of approximately 69° to 79° F. If the cold water output is above 69° F, the ETC Control Board will not energize. As a result ETC will not affect the water fill process in the warm wash setting.

ETC Hot Fill- The ETC hot fill toggles the water valve hot supply on and off to maintain a hot wash temperature of

approximately 81° to 91° F. If the cold water output is above 81° F, the ETC Control Board will not energize. As a

result ETC will not affect the water fill process in the warm wash setting.

ETC Control Diagnosis

The cold water valve is energized continually during fill. 120 VAC is supplied from pin #1 on the ATC bo ard to energize the hot water valve as needed to achieve the desired temperature. In most instances, the hot water valve will only be energized for a short time. 120 VAC is supplied to the ATC board at pins 8 and 9. A thermistor is used to sense the water temperature entering the tub. The thermistor resistance is approximately 1100 ohms at room temperature (70 °F). The ohm reading will increases as the thermistor temperature rises. Because the resistance is higher, the voltage is lower coming out of the thermistor and into pin #2 on the ETC board. The ETC board monitors pin #2 to determine the correct water temperature.

The water temperature switch input setting is monitored at the ETC board and can be diagnosed by checking the following:

Hot Selected – 0 VAC at pins 3 to neutral and 4 to neutral. Warm Selected – 120 VAC at pin #4, 0 VAC at pin #3. Cold Selected – 120 VAC at pins #3 and #4.

WARNING

Pin #1

Automatic Temperature Control

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, disconnect power to washer before servicing, unless testing requires it.

If the water temperature during an unregulated Cold/Cold or Hot/Cold fill is not correct, the problem is with something other than the ETC board.

Below is the electrical circuit with Warm/Warm regulated temperature selected. Trace the circuit and active components to diagnose ETC related issues.

ATC Control Operation

ATC Cold Fill- The ATC cold fill toggles from cold to warm in order to boost cold wash water temp to approximately 75 degrees minimum. ATC Warm Fill- The ATC warm fill toggles from hot to warm in order to boost the warm water temperature to approximately 95 degrees minimum. *NOTE: ATC does not function for rinse.
