When the cycle is over and the lid is unlocked the signal
sounds for 3 to 5 seconds to notify the user that the
cycle is complete.
Lid lock assembly
The lid lock assembly is a safety device that removes
power from the motor circuits when the lid is lifted during
agitation and locks the lid to prevent it from being
opened during the spin cycle. The lid lock assembly is
mounted to the bottom of the top panel and locks the
lid by moving a locking arm through the lid strike.
Softener dispenser
The softener dispenser is mounted on the top of the
agitator on 2.7 cu. ft. models and in the agitator on 3.0
cu. ft. models.
The liquid fabric softner remains in the dispenser during
the wash cycle. During the first spin cycle, the softener
moves from the dispenser to the outer cavity of the
dispenser or agitator and is held in place by centrifugal
force until the end of the spin cycle.
The softener is then dispensed into the tub during the
rinse fill portion of the wash cycle.
Agitator
The agitator is located in the center of the inner tub
The agitator is driven by the shaft of the transmission
and rotates back and forth to moves the clothes through
the water. Some models are equipped with dual action
agitators where the bottom half of the agitator moves
back and forth and the top rotates in one direction.
Bleach dispenser
The bleach dispenser has two parts. One part is
mounted in the top panel where liquid bleach is added.
The second part is molded into the splasher shield and
dispenses the bleach between the tub and the spin
basket. The spin basket prevents the bleach from
getting on the clothes until the bleach is mixed with the
fill water.
