WATER CIRCULATION
(Some Versions)
On earlier versions of the WM2277, the recirculation pump circulates the water
during most of the cycle. Later versions do not include the recirculation pump.
During the WASH cycle, the pump runs continuously for the first 3 minutes and
then intermittently throughout the cycle. During the RINSE cycle, it runs
continuously as soon as the appropriate amount of rinse water has been added.
This recirculated water enters the drum at the top of the door at a small shower
head. This spray not only keeps the window and gasket clean, it allows the
clothes to be soaked with detergent or rinse water more quickly and can be used
to control an oversudsing event.
The recirculation pump is separate
from the drain pump, but they are
attached to opposite sides of the
filter housing.
The pump(s) and filter are located at
the bottom left front corner. The filter
can be unscrewed, cleaned, and
replaced. Earlier versions include
a recirculation pump; later versions
do not.
Use the small drain hose to
evacuate the water remaining in the
bottom of the tub before removing
the filter.
DRAIN RECIRCULATION
The drain pump is on the left and
exhausts the water via the gray
corrugated hose.
Older versions of the 2277 have a
recirculating pump on the right,
which recirculates water from the tub
to the shower spray at the top of the
door gasket via the smaller black
hose. Newer versions do not have
the recirculating pump. (See pages
54 and 63.)
