Section 1 Basic Information

For water to enter the fabric softener channel, both the
left and right inlets must be activated. As the water from
the left inlet pass over the channel, it collides with the
water from the right inlet. This collision changes the
water path directing it to the front of the cavity and into
the fabric softener channel. The fabric softener channel
forms a loop that allows the water to pass over the fabric
softener cavity section of the drawer.
(See Figure 1-34 & 1-35)
As the water passes over the fabric softener section,
holes in the cavity allow some of the water to enter and
mix with the fabric softener. This raises the mixture level
above the tubes in the drawer fabric softener cavity
allowing the mixture to fl ow into the tub. Like the
detergent channel, the fl ow of the incoming water is
more than the holes can dispense, allowing the excess
water to backup into the channel across the rear of the
dispenser and fl ow into the tub.
Drain Pump
The drain pump is mounted to the bottom plate of the
washer behind the access panel. It operates on 120
VAC and is controlled by the control board and pressure
switch. The pump out specifi cations of the drain pump
vary from 12 G.P.M. with a 3 foot standpipe height to 5
G.P.M. with a 8 foot standpipe height. (See Figure 1-36)
Motor
The motor is mounted to the bottom of the outer tub.
The motor is an induction, three phase AC motor that
varies speeds when the voltage from the speed control
board varies in frequency and amount. (See Figure 1-37)
The motor has a tachogenerator that inputs the speed of
the motor to the speed control board.
