General
This section presents a general overview of the functions of the machine.
Most functions are then presented in detailed in separate chapters later on
in this service manual.
The machine is freely suspended, which means the outer drum and motor
are mounted on a supporting ”cradle” that rests on four shock absorbers
for dampening the imbalance in the machine.
The washer drum (inner drum) is belt driven by a motor. This motor is loca-
ted at the bottom of the machine and is mounted on the cradle with a belt
tensioner. The inner drum is mounted to the outer drum at the rear plate
with two bearings sealed against leakage with sealing rings.
The drain valve is a water-controlled diaphragm valve alternatively, an
electrical drain valve or drain pump.
The door is of sturdy type that is interlocked with a lock module when in
operation.
The control panel contains a program knob for selecting the fixed wash
programs and a display.
The program unit is mounted inside the control panel. Contactor, water
valves, etc., are located at the back of the machine.
