To avoid risk of severe personal injury or death, disconnect power before working/servicing on appliance to avoid
electrical shock.
To locate an authorized servicer, please consult your telephone book or the dealer from whom you purchased this
product. For further assistance, please contact:
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.

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.

Transmission Operation
When the Drive Pulley rotates CLOCKWISE, the upper
and lower cams are designed to nest together which
allows the Drive Pulley to remain in position on the drive
shaft. The Break remains engaged and the Drive Pulley
will turn the lower cam and drive the shaft to cause the
Transmission
When the Drive Pulley rotates COUNTERCLOCKWISE,
the upper cam and Pulley ride up the lower cam approximately 3/16 of an inch before the driving shoulders on the
Pulley hub engage the "dogs" on the lower cam.
This causes the top of the Pulley hub to push against the
Sp acer which compresses the Brake Spring and lifts the
Brake Rotor and Lining assembly off the Brake Stator.
The Brake is disengaged and the Pulley will turn the
lower cam and drive shaft to cause the Transmission
spin.
to agitate.
to
Determine Brake Rotor Condition
Watch the Spacer on the Encapsulated Thrust Bearing.
If the Spacer rotates with the Pulley, the Brake is
functioning properly. If the Spacer stays stationary while
rotating the Pulley to release the Brake, the Brake Rotor
must be replaced.
12.Clean the dome area of new Base with alcohol then
apply corn starch.
After reassembling the Washer, fill the Tub with water
and select a spin to drain the Tub. When the cycle is
finished, verify the adjustment of the Brake, and verify
the Spacer on the Thrust Bearing rotates with the Pulley.
Brake Adjustment
1. A fter reassembling the components on the drive
shaft, it may be necessary to pull down on the shaft
to take the endplay out before the Thrust Washer
and Retaining Ring can be reinstalled.
NOTE: Each time the cams are reassembled on the
drive shaft, the point in the cam rise where the
Brake disengages the Stator should be checked
and adjusted as necessary. Reference points
have been molded into the Pulley as an aid in
checking the point of Brake disengagement.
