11 INNER 

BOWL 

SmartDrive

 AquaSmart

 

 

11.1 Balance 

Ring 

The inner bowl for AquaSmart

 has a new top balance ring, which has 2 internal chambers 

instead of just one as on SmartDrive

 bowls.  Both chambers are ½ filled with water. 

 
The physical appearance of the balance rings changes from a square profile to a curved profile. 
 

11.2 Bowl 

Base

 

The new bowl base on large SmartDrive

 (one with the internal bumps) has only the inner and 

middle chambers filled with water.On AquaSmart

 all 3 chambers are partially filled with water. 

 

IMPORTANT 
It is important that the new inner bowl for AquaSmart

 is only used on AquaSmart

 

models.  If the inner bowl is fitted to a SmartDrive

, it will cause the bump detect software 

not to function correctly, leading to increased cases whereby the inner bowl could hit 
against the top deck and cabinet. 
Conversely, a SmartDrive

 inner bowl should not be fitted to AquaSmart

.

 

12 SUSPENSION 

RODS 

 
The suspension rods on AquaSmart

 need to 

be more robust than the suspension rods used 
on previous SmartDrive

 machines.  The top 

bracket has lugs to which the straps from the 
neck ring attach. 
 
A rubber washer sits midway down the rod, this 
helps detergent residue from running down the 
rod and into the grease filled damper.
