Door Locking Solenoid
The door locking solenoid is powered shut with control voltage to lock the door and releases
when voltage is removed. It is located in the left front corner of the washer.
Thermoactuators
The thermoactuators are a safety device that keeps the door from immediately unlocking if
power is lost while the machine is operating. They are mounted under the door locking solenoid.
Lock Thermoactuator
Control voltage is applied to the lock thermoactuator at the beginning of the cycle making it extend and
block the door locking solenoid. This keeps the door locked for approximately two minutes after a power
failure occurs. The lock thermoactuator does not delay the door opening at the end of a normal cycle.
Unlock Thermoactuator
To ensure that the lock thermoactuator has retracted by the end of the cycle, one minute prior to the end
of the cycle, the unlock thermoactuator is powered with control voltage making it extend and unblock the
door locking solenoid.
Loading Door Removal
A.
Support door to prevent dropping.
B.
Remove 3 bolts holding hinge retainer and set door off.
Loading Door Disassembly
A.
Remove the loading door as outlined above.
B.
Lay the door on a flat surface with the glass down.
C.
While holding down on the door glass, lift up on the door ring and roll back the lip of the
gasket with your fingers.
D.
Work all the way around the gasket and the glass is out.
Loading Door Reassembly
A.
Lay the door ring face down on a flat surface.
B.
Start the glass into one side of the door. gasket.
C.
Use one hand underneath to push the gasket out and the other hand on the top pulling
the gasket in place.
D.
The front lip of the door gasket should be checked for proper seating.
Loading Door Adjustment
The door can be adjusted by changing the number of shims behind the door hinge and the door
lock assem bly. The vertical fit of the door to the tub can be altered by loosening the door hinge
bolts and raising or lowering the door before retightening. It is important for the door to be
centered on the tub front. By chalking the nose of the tub and closing the door to transfer that
line to the gasket, the centering can be evaluated. It is also important for door pressure to be
similar around the door perimeter. Door pressure can be evaluated by inserting a dollar bill in
several positions and tugging on it. See Parts Section for kit to increase door sealing
pressure.
Loading Door Hinge Removal
A.
First remove loading door, front panel, and trim ring.
B.
Remove 3 screws holding door hinge. Shims may be present between hinge and tub front.
The number may be increased or decreased to adjust right side door pressure.
NOTE: Door hinge mounting bolts penetrate tub front and require silicone sealer applied to holes
when reinstalling.
Control Panel Name Plate Decal
The name plate on washer front is adhesive backed.
Control Panel Name Plate Removal
The name plate may be removed by simply peeling it off.
Re-Installation of Name Plate
Step 1:
Remove any remaining glue from the control panel.
Step 2:
Before removing the paper backing from the name plate, check fit to the control panel. The program
push buttons are the locating guides.
Step 3:
Remove the paper backing from the right side of the name plate, position it on the panel and press
right end into place. Peel the backing from the left end and press into place.
Motor Relays
These relays are in the center of the control trough. The front relay is for intermediate spin. The middle
relay is for high speed extract. The back one is the run relay.
R1 Run Relay
The R1 Run Relay is a small relay that is mounted directly behind the R3 extract relay. The 120VAC coil on
the Run Relay is energized any time that the timer is in the run position and the door is locked. When en-
ergized, the Run Relay provides 24VDC to the reversing timer for wash and to the R2 intermediate extract
relay for spin.
R2 Spin Motor Relay (Intermediate Extract Relay)
The R2 Spin Motor Relay is the large relay that mounts in the center of the control trough. The i20VAC coil
on the R2 Relay is energized any time that the timer is in the spin position. 24VDC is provided from the
+24 terminal of the Variable Frequency Drive through the R1 Run Relay to the R2 Relay. When energized,
the R2 Relay provides 24VDC to terminals Ml2 & Ml3 on the Drive and the washer spins at intermediate
speed. The relay is removed by prying out on the mounting tab at the bottom of the relay with a straight
blade screw driver.
R3 Extract Relay (High Speed Extract Relay)
The R3 Extract Relay is a small relay that is mounted directly behind the large R2 spin motor relay. The
Main Timer provides 120VAC to the R3 Extract Relay coil. When this relay closes it provides 24VDC to the
Ll2 terminal on the Variable Frequency Drive. This relay combined with the R2 Spin Motor Relay powers all
3 terminals M11, Ml2 & Ml3 on the Variable Frequency Drive for high spin.
R4 High Water Level Relay
The R4 High Water Level Relay is a small relay that is mounted directly behind the R3 extract relay. The
Main Timer provides 120VAC to the R4 High Water Level Relay coil. The R4 Relay closes the circuit from
the pressure switch coming out of the high level contacts for the various high level baths in the cycle. It
also opens the circuit coming out of the low level contacts.
R5 Hot Rinse Relay
The R5 Hot Rinse Relay is a small relay that is mounted directly behind the R4 high water level relay. The
Main Timer provides 120VAC to the R5 Hot Rinse Relay coil. The R5 relay opens the circuit to the cold
water valve so that specific rinses are hot water only.
Program Timer
This timer is located on the left side of the control trough directly behind the reversing timer and is held
in place with two screws. It controls most machine functions. There are two drive motors on the program
timer. The one towards the front of the machine advances the timer at the beginning of the cycle. The
timer motor towards the rear drives the timer throughout the cycle. These two motors can be replaced in-
dividually. The program timer has a black knob that allows the timer to be manually turned to any portion
of the cycle for diagnostic purposes.
