5.2.5 LID SWITCH
Lid opening and closing is detected by a reed switch located under the right hand side of the cover,
approx. 5” (125mm) from the front. The reed switch is activated by a magnet which is moulded
into the lid. A protrusion can be seen on the underside of the lid where the magnet is located. If the
lid is raised the washer will stop and go into PAUSE. To start the washer again close the lid, and
push the START/PAUSE button.
The washer should turn of when the lid is opened no more than 2” (50mm) and restart at least ½ “
(12mm) before the lid is closed.
5.2.6 LINT REMOVAL SYSTEM
As a result of the agitator action, lint and wash water are sucked into the agitator stem and down to
the base of the agitator, where they are directed into the cavity between the basket and tub. The
extruded holes in the basket are shaped to allow the wash water to flow back into the tub, but
prevent the lint from following.
The lint then floats to the surface of the water, between the basket and tub and remains there until it
is flushed out the drain at the end of the wash cycle.
