Drain Pump
The drain pump consists of a 120 VAC, 60 Hz motor,
an impeller and impeller housing, and a removable
strainer that helps prevent foreign objects from
entering the pump impeller and drain outlet.
• The pump runs whenever the washer is in the
spin function of a cycle.
• The pump runs when the water level control
over fl ow switch is closed and the washer is
plugged in (over fl ow protection).
• The pump is capable of eliminating 17 gallons
(64 liters) per minute.
• Recommended minimum standpipe diameter is
1
1
/
4
inches.
• Standpipe maximum height is 96 inches,
measured from the fl oor at the washer location.
• The pump motor has an approximate resistance
value of 10.6

Water Valve Assembly
The water valve assembly consists of an additional
low-
fl ow, cold water valve that supplies water to the
steam generator.
The cold water valve is controlled by the cycling
thermostat on the steam generator, which opens at
266°F when the unit is depleted of water. After the
cycling thermostat opens, 120 VAC is fed thru the
limiter and the heater element, which energizes the
valve coil. This replenishes the steam generator unit
with cold water until the cycling thermostat closes
upon reaching 221°F, allowing the steam process to
resume.
Operation of the water valves can be checked by
using service test modes t11 and t12. (See
Service
Test Mode
.)
Speci fi c failures associated with the water valves
can initiate error code E7. (See
Error Codes
.)
To remove the water valves:
1. Remove the top panel. (See
Top Panel
.)
2. Disconnect all 6 wire harnesses from the cold
water, hot water, and steam valves.
3. Disconnect the dispenser box outlet hose and
steam generator outlet hose.
Note: The water valve outlet hoses are dif fi cult to
