Important Safety Information

when required. Do not do it yourself unless you know

how! 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 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.

• 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

• T o 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 cont aining 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. T o 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 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.

Failure to understand and comply with safety information may result in severe personal injury or death.

General Information

This Service Manual describes the operation, disassembly , troubleshooting, and repair of the washer. It is intended for use by authorized technicians who troubleshoot and repair these units.

NOTE: It is assumed that users of this manual are

familiar with the use of tools and equipment used to troubleshoot and repair electrical, and mechanical systems; and understand the terminology used to describe and discuss them.

About Ground Wires

In the event of an electrical short circuit, a ground wire reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. St andard accepted color coding for ground wires is green or green with a yellow stripe. Grounding wires and wires colored like grounding wires are NOT to be used as current carrying conductors.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death, all wiring and grounding must conform with the latest edition of the National Electric Code, ANSI/ NFP A 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1, and such local regulations as might apply . It is the customer’s responsibility to have the wiring and fuses checked by a qualified electrician to make sure your home has adequate electrical power to operate the washer.

Important Safety Information

Explanation Polarization–This means that the larger slot must be

neutral and the small slot must be at line voltage. Mispolarized–The outlet is incorrectly wired so that the larger slot is at line voltage 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

• 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.

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.

What You Need to Know About Safety Instructions

Warning and Important Safety Instructions appearing in this guide 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 appliance.

Always contact the manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not understand.

Recognize Safety Symbols, Words, Labels

WARNING

WARNING – Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death.

WARNING! FIRE HAZARD

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.

Do not wash articles which have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, oil, waxes, chemical solvents, alcohol, turpentine, or other flammable or explosive materials. These substances will be retained in articles, and articles which still contain these flammable or explosive substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

Observe these precautions when using cleaning fluids, spot or stain removers, etc. These products should be labeled “nonflammable.” Use according to manufacturers directions in a well ventilated area or outdoors. Thoroughly rinse articles by hand before placing them in the washer. Some of these products – rust removers for example – will damage components and the finish of the washer.

Keep area around and underneath washer free from the accumulation of combustible materials, such as lint, paper, rags, gasoline, and all other flammable vapors and liquids.

HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE! Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the washer, turn on all the hot water faucets and let the water flow from each faucet for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As this gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

Recent studies have shown that if vegetable oil contaminated materials are incompletely washed, a carry-over and buildup of the oil may contribute to a chemical reaction (spontaneous combustion) that could cause a load to catch fire by itself. This would be more likely to happen if the load were left in the dryer after tumbling stopped or if items were folded and stacked while warm.

CAUTION

CAUTION – Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in minor personal injury.

Important Safety Instructions

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or personal injury when using your washer, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2. As with any equipment using electricity and having moving parts, there are potential hazards. To use this appliance safely, the operator should become familiar with the instructions for operation of the appliance and always exercise care when using it.

3. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.

4. Install and level washer on a floor that can support the weight.

5. This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the appliance cord into a receptacle which is not grounded adequately and in accordance with local and national codes. See installation instructions for grounding this appliance.

6. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion: a. Do not wash items that have been previously

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Hand wash and line dry any items containing these substances.

Any material on which you have used a cleaning solvent, or which is saturated with flammable liquids or solids, should not be placed in the washer until all traces of these liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.

These items include acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers.

b. 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.

c. 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. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

d. Do not wash or dry items that are soiled with

vegetable or cooking oil. These items may contain some oil after laundering. Due to the remaining oil, the fabric may smoke or catch fire by itself.

7. Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator

is moving.

8. Do not allow children or pets to play on, in, or in

front of the appliance. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near children and pets.

9. Do not tamper with controls.

10. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or

attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

11. Unplug power supply cord before attempting to service your washer. Service is to be done only by qualified service personnel.

12. The agitator should not be removed. If the agitator is removed, it must be replaced by pushing down completely and the locking screw tightened before the washer is operated.

13. Keep all laundry aids such as detergents, bleach, etc., out of the reach of children, preferably in a locked cabinet. Use laundry aids only as directed by the manufacturer. Observe all warnings on container labels.

14. Keep the area around and underneath washer free from the accumulation of combustible materials, such as lint, paper, rags, gasoline, and all other flammable vapors and liquids.

15. Do not use chlorine bleach and ammonia or acids (such as vinegar or rust remover) in the same wash. Hazardous fumes can form.

16. Do not machine wash fiberglass materials. Small particles can stick to fabrics washed in following loads and cause skin irritation.

17. For flame resistant finishes - follow garment manufacturer's instructions carefully. Improper laundering could remove the finish.

18. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the washing compartment.

19. Inlet hoses are subject to damage and deterioration over time. Check the hoses periodically for bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks and replace them every five years.

Operating Tips

Detergent

• Use either liquid or granular laundry detergent. For best results, be sure detergent is added to the washer BEFORE the load and be sure the wash water is above 60

• Use the correct amount of detergent for the load size, soil level and water conditions. Use more detergent if you have hard water and very soiled loads.

If you have soft water or a lightly soiled load, use less detergent. (See manufacturer’s instructions.)

• Wipe up any detergent spills on the washer.

Loading

• For best results add the detergent to the washtub before adding the load.

• Put dry, unfolded clothes loosely in the tub, up to the top row of holes for a maximum load.

• Do not wrap large items like sheets around the agitator.

• Mix large and small items for best circulation. Wash bulky items like blankets separately.

• When laundering wrinkle free items or items of delicate construction, washable woolens or loosely knit items, never use less than the MEDIUM water level setting. This will minimize shrinkage, wrinkling and pulling of seams.

• Close lid carefully to avoid slamming.

Operating Tips

Additional Tips

• During the spin, it is possible for the load to become unevenly distributed in the tub. If this happens, push in the control dial, open the lid, redistribute the load, close the lid and restart the washer. The spin will resume at the point it was interrupted.

• The washer will pause briefly throughout each cycle. These pauses are normal.

• This washer is designed so that it will not agitate or spin when the lid is open. It will, however, fill with the lid open so water is available for pretreating stains or diluting fabric softener.

• If you open the lid during a spin cycle, the washer will stop. When the lid is closed and the washer is restarted, the washer will continue the cycle at the point it was interrupted.

Special Features

Liquid Bleach Dispenser

The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine bleach before it reaches your wash load. To use, follow these steps:

1. Measure liquid chlorine bleach carefully, following the instructions on the bottle.

2. Pour liquid chlorine bleach into the bleach dispenser before adding the load. Avoid splashing or over-filling the dispenser.

Pour liquid chlorine bleach into

bleach dispenser.

Notes:

• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the wash tub. It is a powerful chemical and can cause fabric damage, such as tearing or color loss, if not used properly.

• If you prefer to use color-safe, non-chlorine bleach, pour it into the wash tub with your detergent. Do not pour non-chlorine bleaches into the bleach dispenser.

Fabric Softener Dispenser

The dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric softener at the proper time during the cycle.

To use, follow these steps:

1. Pour a measured amount of fabric softener into the dispenser to fill line only.

2. If fabric softener comes below line, add warm water.

If it is necessary to clean the dispenser:

1. Pull the dispenser off of the top of the agitator.

2. Soak for one hour in sink or container in hot water and dishwashing liquid.

3. Hold hands over top and bottom of dispenser and shake to loosen buildup.

4. Rinse with clean, hot water.

5. Repeat process if necessary.

6. Replace dispenser on agitator.

Do not use dishwashing liquid inside the washer. Oversudsing

can occur.

Automatic Lint Filtering System

The Lint Filtering System does not require cleaning.

Wash and rinse water is filtered and re-filtered continuously to trap lint shed by most fabrics during the agitation cycle before it can be redeposited on the wash load. The engineered hole design on the wash basket in conjunction with water flow produced by the agitator, traps lint away from the clothes between the inner wash basket and the outer tub. Lint is automatically flushed from the washer during the spin cycle.

Quick Faucet

(select models)

Provides a flow of water when holding the switch in the On position.

Safety Spin

If for any reason you open the washer lid when the washer is in a spin or extract period, the operation will immediately stop. This is for your personal safety. If your washer does not stop, call your service technician immediately. When the lid is closed, the operation will automatically resume.

12

Special Features

Unbalanced Spin Load Compensator

Your new washer is designed to handle out-of-balance loads without shutting down or interrupting the washing cycle.

For this reason, the cycle will always be completed. If heavier fabrics in such out-of-balance loads should ever contain excessive moisture at the completion of the cycle, redistribute the clothes in the washer and reset the control dial for the final spin period.

Care & Cleaning

1. After washing, leave the lid open until the interior is dry.

2. Check hoses to be sure there are no kinks or knots.

3. Your washer should not be installed where temperatures will go below freezing, as damage to the washer could result.

4. To clean, occasionally wipe exterior with a clean damp sponge or cloth. Do not use polish on plastic parts.

5. Lifetime lubrication is done at the factory, so your washer never needs to be oiled or greased.

6.

Do not lay heavy or sharp objects on top of your washer.

7. The top of the washer should not be used for removing stains from garments. Some stain removers, such as rust remover, will mar the finish.

8. Remove pins, buckles or other sharp objects from clothes to prevent scratching interior parts.

9. Clothes should not be stored in washer.

10. Bleach, detergent, solvents, etc. spilled on the top of your washer that are allowed to remain will remove the glossy finish. Remove all spills with a damp, soft cloth.

11. If you close your home for the winter, have a service technician drain the washer. Unplug cord from electrical outlet and disconnect hoses from faucets.

Overload Protector

A built-in protector automatically shuts off the washer motor in case of an overload. This can occur if:

• The load being washed is too heavy.

• Too many appliances are plugged into the line operating your washer.

• A low voltage condition exists on the line.

• Lid is opened and closed repeatedly.

The overload protector permits the washer to start again when the motor has cooled to a safe operating temperature.

If the motor stops repeatedly, call your service technician.

Cleaning the Interior

Clean the interior of the washer periodically to remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew or bacteria residue that may remain in the washer as a result of washing clothes. We recommend taking the following steps every 60 to 120 days to clean and freshen your washer interior. The frequency with which the washer should be cleaned and freshened depends on factors such as usage, the amount of dirt, soil or bacteria being run through your washer, or the use of cold water. Failure to follow these instructions may result in unsatisfactory conditions, including unpleasant odor and/or permanent stains on the washer or washload.

To clean and freshen the washer interior:

1. Add a measured amount of chlorine bleach to the

bleach dispenser, following package directions.

2. Add 1/4 cup of detergent to the tub.

3. Run the washer without a load through a complete

cycle using hot water.

4. Repeat the process if necessary.

What You Need to Know About Safety Instructions

Warning and Important Safety Instructions appearing in this guide 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 appliance.

Always contact the manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not understand.

Recognize Safety Symbols, Words, Labels

WARNING

WARNING – Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death.

WARNING! FIRE HAZARD

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.

Do not wash articles which have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, oil, waxes, chemical solvents, alcohol, turpentine, or other flammable or explosive materials. These substances will be retained in articles, and articles which still contain these flammable or explosive substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

Observe these precautions when using cleaning fluids, spot or stain removers, etc. These products should be labeled “nonflammable.” Use according to manufacturers directions in a well ventilated area or outdoors. Thoroughly rinse articles by hand before placing them in the washer. Some of these products – rust removers for example – will damage components and the finish of the washer.

Keep area around and underneath washer free from the accumulation of combustible materials, such as lint, paper, rags, gasoline, and all other flammable vapors and liquids.

HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE! Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the washer, turn on all the hot water faucets and let the water flow from each faucet for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As this gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

Recent studies have shown that if vegetable oil contaminated materials are incompletely washed, a carry-over and buildup of the oil may contribute to a chemical reaction (spontaneous combustion) that could cause a load to catch fire by itself. This would be more likely to happen if the load were left in the dryer after tumbling stopped or if items were folded and stacked while warm.

CAUTION

CAUTION – Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in minor personal injury.
