Introduction
Theory of Operation
General
This frontload washer provides some of the same
principles of operation as the typical topload washers.
It senses water level, it dispenses the desired laundry
detergent, agitates the clothes for good cleaning action,
removes the water out of the washer and spins the
clothing in preparation for the dryer.
The difference in operation is primarily the rotational
washing agitation created for the horizontal basket and
drum. This agitation tumbles the clothes in a clockwise,
pause, and counter-clockwise direction. This reversing
tumbling action provides an efficient washing process
and requires less laundry detergent and less water.
The cycle begins by locking the loading door after the
vend is satisfied. The type of cycle and water
temperature are determined by the appropriate pads on
the electronic control.
The inner basket starts agitating during the wash water
fill. A column of air is trapped in a pressure bulb and
hose. The air pressure continues to increase as the inner
basket fills with water until it is great enough to
activate the pressure switch which then causes the wash
fill to stop.

Introduction
The agitate cycle tumbles the clothing in a clockwise
direction for a period of 15 seconds, pauses for nine
seconds and then tumbles the clothing in a
counterclockwise direction for 15 seconds. This
agitation continues until the end of the wash cycle. The
machine stops agitating and turns on the pump or drain
valve which removes the wash water.
Upon completion of the wash cycle, the machine goes
into a rinse cycle. Fresh cold water is brought into the
inner basket via the mixing valve until the pressure
switch shuts off the water while agitating. The rinse
cycle consists of agitation for a predetermined amount
of time then a spin mode with the pump running where
the machine goes into a series of 4 short 500 RPM
spins. Two of these rinse cycles will normally take
place with a third extra rinse cycle being optional.
After all the rinse cycles have been completed, the
washer goes into a final spin cycle to extract as much
water as possible from the clothing to prepare them for
the dryer. The spin speeds and duration of this final
spin cycle are determined by the type of wash cycle
selected (refer to Table 1 or Table 2).
NOTE: Washer may not reach 1000 RPM because
of an out-of-balance condition. Control may limit
speed depending on severity of out-of-balance
condition.
Technical
The basic operational system of this washer consists of
the electronic control, the inverter control, pressure
switch, water valves, electric pump (or drain valve)
and A.C. motor.
The electronic control performs all control and timing
functions like the timer in a topload washer. The
electronic control sends simple speed and output
commands to the inverter control via serial
communication. The electronic control powers the
door lock, pump (or drain valve) and the inverter
control.
The inverter control powers the A.C. motor and
performs all motor control functions. The inverter
control also powers the water and dispenser valves and
passes the pressure switch status to the electronic
control. The inverter control is powered through the
door switch, door lock switch and electronic control.
The inverter control also alerts the electronic control to
any errors in the motor.
The inverter control uses a speed sensor on the motor
to measure the drum RPM. Before entering any spin
step the inverter control measures the RPM of the
drum to sense out-of-balance. The inverter control will
try to redistribute the clothes if an out-of-balance
condition exists the inverter control will limit the spin
speed to several speeds depending on the severity of
the out-of-balance condition. If the out-of-balance
condition is severe enough the inverter control will
limit speed to 90 RPM and will not spin.
NOTE: An additional out-of-balance switch is used
to detect any out-of-balance condition during spins.
If this switch opens during a spin step, the inverter
control immediately stops and then restarts the
spin.

2. Troubleshooting Knocking Noise
If a frontload washer produces a noise similar to a
knock on a door, it might be due to a flat spot on
the belt. The knocking sound is made when the
flat spot hits the pulley. The knocking may occur
during a pulse spin and fade after reaching a
higher RPM.
To correct this condition, replace the belt.
3. Troubleshooting Coin Drop
a. Non-Electronic Coin Drops:
When coin is placed into coin slot, the coin
should roll down drop and be heard dropping into
coin vault. If coin does not fall into coin vault or
if coin drop sensor does not register that coin has
been entered, follow troubleshooting instructions
on following page. Refer to Figure 1 for path that
coin follows when working properly.
IMPORTANT: Never use oil to correct coin drop
problems. Oil residue will prevent coins from
rolling properly.
IMPORTANT: Do not bend or damage mechanical
parts within coin drop.

Figure 10 and add new UL approved terminals.
a. To test the electrical circuit, disconnect
electrical power to the washer.
b. Remove the “H1” connector from the inverter
control assembly.
c. Use an Ohm meter to check the black/white to
violet/white wires. Circuit should read closed.
An open reading indicates a bad switch or
wire harness problem.
d. Flex the harness at the plastic wire clamp and
test continuity. If the base wire harness has an
open circuit it MUST be replaced or the
broken wires must be repaired with UL
approved terminals.
e. After replacing or repairing the wire harness,
wrap electrical tape around wires in two
locations as indicated below and in Figure 10.
Then secure the harness wires to the original
factory locations using clamp and wire tie.

General Troubleshooting
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
• Disconnect electric power to the washer before servicing.
• Never start the washer with any guards/panels removed.
• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be
reconnected to ensure that the washer is properly grounded.
• Motor not grounded! Disconnect electric power before servicing motor.
W485
WARNING
7. Troubleshooting Shock Absorber
A squeaking noise, oil seen on the base of the washer,
or an out-of-balance condition may mean one or more
shock absorbers need to be replaced.
To determine if there is an inoperative shock:
1. Remove front access panel.
2. Check height of rod or rod spacing above shock.
If all four shocks are uniform and have about two
inches of rod showing when basket is empty,
shocks don’t need replacing. Refer to Figure 12.
If one or more shocks is showing less than two
inches of rod, then an internal spring has broken
and all four shocks should be replaced.
3. Check base of washer below shock absorbers for
grease or oil. Shocks are not oil filled. Any oil is
from grease used internally to lubricate damper of
shock. A small amount of grease/oil on base is
normal and doesn’t indicate failure. A large
amount of grease/oil indicates a shock that might
fail soon. Do not replace shock until the internal
spring has broken as described in step 2.
