Introduction

General

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, pumps 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 water.

The cycle begins by pressing the start button, which locks the loading door after the vend is satisfied. The type of cycle and water temperature are determined by the temperature selector switch and the cycle select 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 cycle 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 to Table 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

The basic operational system of this washer consists of the control, temperature switch, 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.

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 10 .

Then secure the harness wires to the original factory locations using clamp and wire tie.

Refer to Figure 10 .

(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 10 .

W485

6. Troubleshooting Shock Absorbers

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 1 2.

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.
