SERVICING THE DRIVE MOTOR AND PUMP
The drive motor and pump can be accessed by removing the cabinet. The pump is a sealed unit and
cannot be serviced. It should be replaced if it does not operate properly. The pump engages the drive
motor directly and is held in place by two retainer clips.

loosening the spanner nut on the spin tube

ket can now be lifted straight up and out
of the tub.

clutch dogs that provide the Surgilator ac-
tion are found in the upper portion of the
agitator assembly.
