The drain hose must have a loop at a minimum height of 32 inches
in order to
insure proper drainage. The main pump can easily be removed by disconnecting the drain pump connector hose and the wiring harness connections made at the circulation motor and rotating the four sump retainers toward the middle of the sump.
Pump Assembly The pump assembly is driven by a synchronous motor. Rotation is in the counterclockwise direction at 3600 RPM. The motor drives a pump which supplies 100 percent filtered water at a rate to approximately 12 GPM. Draining is accomplished by using a small separate synchronous drain pump mounted to the side of the sump. The drain pump is connected to the main pump by a small rubber hose. The drain check valve is located at the discharge end of the drain pump. The drain hose is attached by a worm gear clamp to the discharge end of the drain pump. 900 Watt Heater Refer to the cycle chart on the reverse side to determine when the heater is on during the wash cycle.
Voltage checks of the heater should be made with the timer set in the main wash.
Tub and Door Seal The door seal is pressed into the tub channel for an interference fit. Center the gasket (marked on back) at the tub top center and press in place without stretching or bunching. The gasket takes a short turn at the bottom of the tub channel before ending at the channel end wall.
