FLOATING BASKET
During spin, the agitator and the basket have to be
coupled together and turn as a single unit. In
agitate, the agitator and basket have to be free to
rotate independently.
At the base of the basket is a flotation chamber. As
the water level rises the basket will float. This
action disconnects a clutch between the agitator
and basket. The agitator and basket can now
move independently.
When the water is pumped out, the basket sinks
down and re-engages, allowing the agitator and
basket to turn as one unit.
DRAIN PUMP
The drain pump motor is attached to the base of
the tub. The pump housing is an integral part of
the tub. The pump can be accessed from the top, if
the agitator and basket are removed, or from
underneath the machine.
DIVERTER VALVE
A diverter valve is located underneath the tub. This
directs the tub water to the drain hose or to the re-
circulation hose. The valve is on whilst the
machine is filling and re-circulating the wash water.
It is also turned on briefly
at the beginning
of the
rinse cycle to allow the re-circulation hose to
empty.
LIDLOCK
This machine has a lidlock that will lock the lid
closed when the machine is spinning. If the lid is
open at the beginning of rinse or spin, the machine
will stop and sound a warning tune. See user
warnings
OUT OF BALANCE SWITCH
A lever and switch is located in the right rear corner
of the topdeck. If the switch is activated the
machine will stop and sound a warning. (See User
Faults).
LINT REMOVAL SYSTEM
As a result of the agitator action, lint and wash
water is drawn into the agitator stem and down to
the base, where they are directed into the cavity
between the basket and tub. The holes in the
basket allow the wash water to flow back into the
basket but prevent the lint from following. Lint is
carried out with the waste water.
OPTION ADJUSTMENT MODE
The washer can be adjusted to operate under a
number of different conditions. The feature is
called OPTION ADJUSTMENT MODE. Features
that can be controlled include:
•
Rinse Options
•
Number of End of Cycle warning beeps
•
Automatic Out of Balance recovery
•
Automatic water level adjustment
•
Softener rinse volume adjustment.
•
(See Use & Care Manual for details)
USER FAULTS

displaying a warning on the screen or flashing an
LED. These are also listed in the Use & Care
