Heater Assembly
• The heater assembly is located above the pump,
and is accessed from the front of the washer.
• The heater assembly consists of a heating
element and a water temperature thermistor.
• The heater can operate in whites, or stain wash
cycles, and when sanitize wash temperature is
selected.
• The heater assembly is held in place by a
bracket attached to the inside of the outer tub
and a 10 mm nut which compresses a rubber
gasket to the tub opening.
• When the 10 mm hex nut is tightened, it
squeezes the rubber gasket between 2
mounting plates to seal the heater assembly to
the opening of the tub.
• The hex nut is set from the factory at 31 inch
pounds of torque.
Operation of the heater assembly can be checked
by using service test mode t07. (See the Service
Test Mode section in this guide.)
