numbers are located on nameplate(s) as shown.
The dryer uses heated air to dry loads of laundry.
When the motor is started, the exhaust fan pulls fresh
air in through louvers at the rear of the dryer and over
the heat source (burner flame for gas and heating
element for electric). The heated air moves through the
heater duct and into the cylinder, where it circulates
through the wet load. The air then passes through the
lint filter, air duct and exhaust fan, where it is vented to
the outdoors.
General (Washer)
This frontload washer provides some of the same
principles of operation as the typical topload washers.
It senses water level, it dispenses the desired laundry
detergent, agitates the clothes for good cleaning
action, removes the water out of the washer and spins
the clothing in preparation for the dryer.
The difference in operation is primarily the rotational
washing agitation created for the horizontal basket and
drum. This agitation tumbles the clothes in a
clockwise, pause, and counter-clockwise direction.
This reversing tumbling action provides an efficient
washing process and requires less laundry detergent
and less water.
The cycle begins by pressing the start button, which
locks the loading door. The type of cycle and water
temperature are determined by the cycle select switch
and temperature selector switch.
The inner basket starts agitating during the wash water
fill. A column of air is trapped in a pressure bulb and
hose. The air pressure continues to increase as the
inner basket fills with water until it is great enough to
activate the pressure switch which then causes the
wash fill to stop.
The regular and perm press agitate cycles tumble the
clothing in a clockwise direction for a period of 15
seconds, pauses for nine seconds and then tumbles the
clothing in a counterclockwise direction for 15
seconds. This agitation continues until the wash cycle.
The machine stops agitating and turns on the pump
which removes the wash water.
Upon completion of the wash cycle, the machine goes
into two rinse cycles. Fresh cold water is brought into
the inner basket via the mixing valve until the pressure
switch shuts off the water while agitating. The rinse
cycle consists of agitation for a predetermined amount
of time then a spin mode with the pump running while
the machine goes into a series of 4 short 500 RPM
spins.
After all the rinse cycles have been completed, the
washer goes into a final high spin cycle to extract as
much water as possible from the clothing to prepare
them for the dryer. The spin speeds and duration of
this final high spin cycle are determined by the type of
wash cycle selected (refer toTable 1 or Table 2).
NOTE: Washer may not reach 1000 RPM because
of an out-of-balance condition. Control may limit
speed to 850, 650 or 500 RPM depending on severity
of out-of-balance condition.

Technical (Washer)
The basic operational system of this washer consists of
the control, temperature switch, the inverter control,
pressure switch, water valves, electric pump, A.C.
motor and cycle select switch.
The control performs all timing functions like the
timer in a topload washer.
The inverter control uses a speed sensor on the motor
to measure the drum RPM. Before entering any spin
step the inverter control measures the RPM of motor to
sense out-of-balance. The inverter control will try to
redistribute the clothes if an out-of-balance condition
exists; the inverter control will limit the spin speed to
several speeds depending on the severity of the out-ofbalance condition. If the out-of-balance condition is
severe enough the inverter control will limit speed to
90 RPM and will not spin.
NOTE: An additional out-of-balance switch is used
to detect any out-of-balance condition during spins.
If this switch opens during a spin step, the inverter
control immediately stops and then restarts the
spin.
If a frontload washer produces a noise similar to a
knock on a door, it might be due to a flat spot on
the belt. The knocking sound is made when the flat
spot hits the pulley. The knocking may occur
during a pulse spin and fade after reaching a
higher RPM.
To correct this condition, replace the belt.
Troubleshooting
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
• Disconnect all electric power to the machine and accessories before servicing.
• Close gas shut-off valve to gas dryer before servicing.
• Never start machine with any guards/panels removed.
• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be
reconnected to ensure that the machine is properly grounded.

a. To test the electrical circuit, disconnect
electrical power to the washer.
b. Remove the “H1” connector from the inverter
control assembly.
c. Use an Ohm meter to check the black/white to
violet/white wires. Circuit should read closed.
An open reading indicates a bad switch or
wire harness problem.
d. Flex the harness at the plastic wire clamp and
test continuity. If the base wire harness has an
open circuit it MUST be replaced or the
broken wires must be repaired with UL
approved terminals.
e. After replacing or repairing the wire harness,
wrap electrical tape around wires in two
locations as indicated below and in Figure 1.
Then secure the harness wires to the original
factory locations using clamp and wire tie.
Refer to Figure 1.
(1) The plastic wire clamp should be angled
toward the switch at 45 degrees.
(2) The clamp should wrap around the first
section of tape on the harness, which should
be placed approximately 4.5 inches (11.43
cm) from end of terminals.
(3) The harness should be secured to the
inverter control shield with a wire tie.
(4) The tie should wrap around the third section
of tape on the harness, which should be
placed approximately 14 inches (35.56 cm)
from end of terminals. Refer to Figure 1.
There are three LEDs on the control to assist with
troubleshooting (refer to Figure 2):

WARNING
A squeaking noise, oil seen on the base of the washer,
or an out-of-balance condition may mean one or more
shock absorbers need to be replaced.
To determine if there is an inoperative shock:
1. Remove front access panel.
2. Check height of rod or rod spacing above shock.
If all four shocks are uniform and have about two
inches of rod showing when basket is empty,
shocks don’t need replacing. Refer to Figure 3. If
one or more shocks is showing less than two
inches of rod, then an internal spring has broken
and all four shocks should be replaced.
3. Check base of washer below shock absorbers for
grease or oil. Shocks are not oil filled. Any oil is
from grease used internally to lubricate damper of
shock. A small amount of grease/oil on base is
normal and doesn’t indicate failure. A large
amount of grease/oil indicates a shock that might
fail soon. Do not replace shock until the internal
spring has broken as described in Step 2.

f. Test motor switch by following the step-by-
step procedures included in Paragraph 43.
g. Before reinstalling the motor assembly, apply
power (120, 208 or 240 VAC – refer to machine
nameplate) directly to motor terminals 4 and 5.
Then start and run the motor at least 6 times,
making sure the motor and switch are operating
properly.

45. Burner System Operation
(Gas Models – Refer to Figure 15.)
a. Components
This burner has four basic components: a
silicon carbide (glow bar) igniter, burner tube,
sensor, and a two-stage gas valve consisting of
a split-coil valve and a secondary coil valve.
The split-coil valve is opened when the dryer
thermostat calls for heat, while the secondary
valve does not open until the igniter has attained
ignition temperature.
b. Pre-Ignition Circuits
When the dryer thermostat calls for heat,
circuits are completed through the holding coil,
sensor, booster coil and igniter. Both coils must
be energized to open the split-coil valve. Once
opened, the holding coil can hold the valve
open without assistance from the booster coil.
The sensor triggers the current to travel around
74802848
the secondary coil and through the igniter,
causing the igniter to get hot.
c. Burner Circuit
In approximately 30 seconds, the igniter attains
ignition temperature and ignition is made. The
heat from the burner flame causes the sensor
contacts (located on burner housing beside the
igniter) to open. A circuit is then completed
through the secondary valve coil, opening the
valve and allowing gas to flow.
d. Momentary Power Interruption
Upon resumption of power, sensor contacts will
still be open, permitting secondary valve to
open. However, with the secondary coil in the
circuit, the booster coil cannot draw enough
current to open the split-coil valve. When
sensor contacts do reclose, the secondary valve
will close, and the burner system will be in the
normal pre-ignition circuit.
e. Flame Failure
In case of flame failure, the sensor contacts will
re-close in about 45 seconds. This will close the
secondary valve and the burner system will be
in the normal pre-ignition circuit.
f. Ignition Failure
If flame is not established as sensor contacts
open, secondary valve will remain open until
sensor contacts re-close. Sensor will continue to
recycle the igniter and secondary valve (about
once per minute) until ignition is made or dryer
is turned off.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
• Disconnect all electric power to the machine and accessories before servicing.
• Close gas shut-off valve to gas dryer before servicing.
• Never start machine with any guards/panels removed.
• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be
reconnected to ensure that the machine is properly grounded.
• Washer motor not grounded! Disconnect electric power before servicing motor.
