@{ENAL

Ttris is a twin tub, spin drying washer with a one-piece polypropolene tub, and a one-piece outer shell.

rt features an erectric brake on the spin rnctor autcrnatically controlled by the spin lid and a ftpinchrf valve to control th; drain water frcrn the wash tub only.

Servicing is made through the rear access panel or open bottcn.

Capacity in wash trlc - 10 galIons.

Rating - 120 volts A.C., 60 cycles, 13 amperes.

This ma"chine is provided wi.th a three-prong plug for grounding puposes.

The rnachine nnrst be grounded.

A static ground wire is connected between the spin tub bearing and ground terminal to discharge the static off the spin can.

I I .

@MATIOI{

The tiner controls the wash tirne and is the on-off switch for the machine.

I{ith the tinrer control licrob in the "wash" area, the pulsator wilr operate, and the spinner wilr operate with the spin lid closed.

The open and close of the spin 1id is the on-off

"drain" for the spinner. with the tiner control lmob in the a^rea, the pulsator will not operate but the spinner will operate with the spin lid cLosed.

with the tinrer control lsrob in the "off" position, neither the pulsator or spinner will operate.

I{hen the spinner is in operation, the ptrnp is also operating.

The purp control lmob opens and closes the "pinch" valve on the punp to the wash tub on1y.

Ttre spin tub is drained by the pump whenever the spin rnotor is running.

A. Testing

The tiner can be tested in the rnachine.

1. Disconnect all wires frcm the tirner terminals.

Refer to the wiring diagram.

2. With the timer control lorob in the rrwash" area, test between terminals

A & B (wash nrctor circuit) and A & C (spin nntor circuit). be cmplete.

Circuit should

3. With the timer control Imob in the "drain" area, test between terminals

A & C, Circuit should be canplete.

4. Ttre tinrer nptor can be tested with an ohm meter to the clock terminals.

a. A resistance reading would indicate a good timer.

b.

A corplete circuit or no circuit would indicate a defective tiner rnotor.

B. leplacenent

1. Rernrve all wiring frcn tiner.

2. Bernrve retainer frcrn control shaft and slide enntrol shaft off.

3. Rernove four screws securing timer bracket to outer she1l and remove tiner and bracket.

4. Renrove two screws securing tirner bracket and skirt to timer.

T . F . 2 6 - 2 2 ry.

A. Creneral

Ttre lid srpitch is secured to the upper left hand corner of the shelt and is operated by a rod connected to the spin lid hinge.

The rod actuates the lid switch when the spin lid is closed. ltris stdtch also controls the circuit for the electric brake.

-3-

T . F . 2 6 - 2 2

1. The spin lid srpitch controls the electric brake circuit. If the electric brake of the spin mrtor does not operate, yet the spin rnotor runs, the probable caLLse is due to a defective lid switch.

2. The spin 1id switch should always be tested for correct operation rryhen a spinner nptor is overheating.

B. Replacenent

I. Open the spin lid which will nxrve the actuator rod out of the rvay.

2, Rernove the three screu/s wtrich secure the switch bracket to the shell and lift out the switctr, bracket, spring and washers.

3. After the new switch is installed, adjust the bracket to close the sritch when the spin Iid is approximately

I" to close.

PT'I.SATOR

HCI'SING (REIER TO FIG. 1)

A. C'eneral

The hou,sing contains a bearing for the pulsator shaft and a nilcber lip seal to prevent water leakage. A water leak in the area of the pulsator will indicate a worn bearing in the hou,sing.

Always replace both the housing and pulsator if the bearing is worn as then the shaft of the pulsator is also urcnx. A scored or worn pulsator shaft will not hold a new bearing.

The pulsator shaft is threaded (L.H.) on the end for installation in the pulley. The wa.sher between the pulley and housing prevents end p1ay. The pulsator nn:st be snug against the hou,sing.

E:<cessive end play will allottr clothing to tangle behind the pulsator.

B.

Replacerrent

1. Rernove the rear access panel.

2. Rernove

3. Grasp the pulsator and pulley and turn clocktvise to rernove pu1ley.

4-

T . F . 2 6 - 2 2

4. Renrove the nut frsn the hor-using. If the housing turns, grasp the hor.r,sing with vise grips or channel lock pliers.

5. Pull the cone off the housing.

6. Rrsh the housing out into the tub.

7. Ctreck the grrcxnnet and replace if worn or deteriorated.

8. Do not overtighten nut on housing.

9.

Ctreeh the disc for wear frqn the pulsator and if wom, replace.

lO. When installing the pulsator, apply a snal1 amount of grease to the pulsator shaft so a-s to prevent damage to the lip seal in the housing.

VI. ffIN PT'LtEY

Ttre spin pulley rests on a nrbber nnunt fastened to the frane.

A bearing is located inside the pulley and on the rubber rnopnt.

Spinner alignment is adjr:^sted by rnrving the rubber nnunt on the frane.

A. Replacenrent - Refer to Fig. 2.

1. Rerncve the rirn over spin tub.

2. Bernrve spin belt fron pulley.

The rubber rnxnt will flex to al1ow slack in the belt.

3. Renrove the bolt in the spin pul1ey wtrich holds the spin can shaft.

4. Slide the spin can out and catch the washer between resilient bearing and spin pulley.

d. Ttre resilient bearing is a nrbber mount with a bearing for the spin can shaft.

T?ris bearing should not be lubricated.

Ttre resilient bearing is secured in place by a wire ring lock under the spin tub.

A noisy spinner can be caused by a bearing in the spin pulley or the resilient bearing.

-5b. A face seal is rncunted in the resilient bearing and the courterface is rmunted on the spin can shaft. Ttris seal is to prevent water leakge.

If the face seal is replaced, the c<,unterface nust be replaced also.

5 .

Rernove the two bolts which secure the rubber nnunt to the frame and renpve the spin pulley assembly.

6 .

To replace the rubber nount assembly, rennve the three scre$/s fr"qn the retaining ring and the rubber rnrunt with bearing can be rernoved fron the pulley.

7 .

In replacenent, the bolt in the spin pulley which secures the spin can shaft nn:st be tight. If not, the spin can shaft will revolve in the spin pulley causing noise and wear.

2. Rernove

3. Ioosen the bolts securing the nrbber nrcunt to the frarne so the nrbber mount can be rxlved - yet snug enough so that it will stay in the position placed.

4. Move the nrbber rnnrnt so that the top of the spin can is *" off center toward the rear of the mactrine.

5. Tighten the bolts to the frame and install the spin belt"

Ttre proper belt tension will draw the spin can back to center.

If the spin can does not go back to center, the belt is too loose.

If the spin can goes too far out of center, the belt is too tight.

Adjust spin rnrtor for proper belt tension - Paragraph

The rnctor is nnunted in slotted holes in the frarne. In replacenent, slide the rrctor away from the spin pulley rlntil spin belt is only snq. Do not overtighten the spin belt or the spin can rnay be throrvn out of alignment.

Refer to Paragraph VII on alignment adjustment.

B. Testing

I. A resistance test throWh the rnctor should read

6+ ohns.

A. C'eneral

The wash nrctor is bolted to the frarne on rubber mounts.

The rnctor is replaced as a unit, although the rubber nrrunts and pulley with fan are available separately.

B. Testing l. The rnctor can be hot tested by connecting a jr.urper

test cord to termlnals B and cqrrmn on the timer.

2. A resistance reading of 1+ will indicate a good nptor.

3. A wattage reading of 3OO with no load will indicate a good nptor.

T . F . 2 6 - 2 2 x. Pu[P

A. C'eneral

The lower body of the Fnmp consists of an impeller rnrunted in a back plate, driven by a pulley.

The upper body of the purp is secured to the loper body by clips and is sealed with a rubber O-ring. The upper body also has a bracket on whiclr is rncunted the pinch valve.

The pinch valve controls the water fnqn the wash tulc.

The p.rrp control knob nust be turned so as to snap the pinch valve closed in a lock position.

B. Servicing the Rmp

1. Rerncve the p.urp control shaft.

2. Rernove the drain hose and spin tub hose frar the purp.

7. Renrove the three spring clips to separate the upper body frcrn the back plate.

8. Check for free nnvernent of the impeller.

If the bearing is worn, renDve the pulley frran the impeller shaft and replace both the back plate and impe1ler.

Illhen replacing the puI1ey, push the impeller down to reduce end play to a minirrnm.

9.

If leakage occurs through the pinch valve, replace the pinch valve (Fig. 6) and check for wear and alignnent of the toggle crank and valve spring.
