• PLASTIC OUTER TUB - The two piece outer tub is formed from tough, lightweight polypropylene.

• STAINLESS STEEL TUB - The wash tub, which has a 25 year warranty, is constructed of durable stainless

steel .

• DISPENSER DRAWER - The dispenser drawer will add diluted detergent, bleach, and fabric softener at the

correct time during the wash or rinse cycles.

• SUSPENSION SPRINGS - The tub assembly is supported from the mid-section by two suspension springs

which limit vibration to the outer cabinet.

• AIR SHOCKS - Two air shocks dampen tub vibration during out of balance conditions.

• FRONT MOUNTED TIMER - The timer is mounted to the front control panel. The timer knob contains an

adjustment feature to calibrate the indicator mark.

• MOTOR SPEED CONTROLLER LOCATION - The motor speed controller is mounted to the right rear

corner of the base where it is protected from damage.

• DOOR LOCK PTC - The PTC keeps the door locked during spin and tub coast down.

• REPLACEABLE SIDE PANELS - Side panels are replaceable, but are riveted to base and front panel for

additional strength and rigidity.
