PRODUCT OPERATION
THEORY OF OPERATION
WATER SYSTEM
The water system consists of the hot and cold
water inlet valves, a water temperature sensor, a
water flowmeter and control, and the dispenser
distribution system along with a traditional pres-
sure switch.
WATER INLET VALVES
The hot and cold water inlet valves are located
at the back of the washer. These valves receive
a control signal from the Central Control Unit
to manage the temperature of incoming water.
The temperatures are determined by the specific
wash cycle selected and a temperature sensor
located in the wash tub. To improve cleaning of
heavily soiled clothing and to provide a sanitizing
feature, the water temperature can be increased
through the use of a heating element located
in the bottom of the tub.
FLOWMETER
Water flow, or the quantity of water introduced
throughout any cycle, is monitored by a flow-
meter and Central Control Unit. When the
flowmeter registers a maximum of 10.5 gal. (40 L),
and the Central Control Unit has not detected
the pressure switch trip, the water valves will
be shut off and an error code will show in the
digital display.
DISPENSER DISTRIBUTION
SYSTEM
All wash and rinse water is introduced into
the wash tub through a Dispenser Distribution
System located in the top left corner of the
washer. The system consists of a motor that
turns a cam gear. The cam follower will divert
the incoming water to one of the follow water
inlet modes:
Detergent Dispensing
Bleach Dispensing
Fabric Softener Dispensing
•
•
•
The flowmeter is also used to introduce addi-
tional water into the tub for higher water levels,
based on cycle requirements.

The dispenser drawer has four separate com-
partments for adding laundry products to the
wash load. These compartments are:
1. Prewash Detergent Compartment
2. Main Wash Detergent Compartment
3. Bleach Compartment
4. Fabric Softener Compartment
Laundry products are diluted and dispensed
automatically at the proper time during the wash
cycle. The separator in the Prewash and Main
Wash Detergent Compartment can be moved
to accommodate either liquid or powdered
detergents.
The water enters the wash tub through the
main inlet tube.
AIR VENT SYSTEM
As a safety feature, the washer is designed to
allow fresh air to circulate through the tub. An
inlet vent at the rear of the washer brings air
into the tub. The fresh air is vented through the
dispenser assembly vent hose and out the front
of the dispenser drawer cutout.
