ATC Functionary
The nozzle of the water valve directs the incoming
water over two thermostats mounted onto the upper
injector assembly. One of the thermostats controls the
cold water valve, and the other controls the hot water
valve.
When ATC cold wash is selected:
The cold water valve is opened for full cold fill. If the
incoming water temperature is below approximately
65°F, the hot water valve will open and warm the
incoming water. The hot water valve will continue to
cycle on and off maintaining optimum cold water
temperature until the tub is full. The target water
temperature for a cold wash is 70°F to 80°F.
When ATC warm wash is selected:
The hot water valve is opened for full hot fill. If the
incoming water temperature is above approximately
100°F, the cold water valve will open and cool the
incoming water. The cold water valve will continue to
cycle on and off maintaining optimum warm water
temperature until the tub is full. The target water
temperature for a warm wash is 90°F to 100°F.
ATC is not active during rinse or hot wash.

top and front panel. Use a plastic putty knife to
disengage clip. Lift top and remove top screws through
the back of the Front Panel. There are two spring clips

Section 6. Pump Assembly
Atlantis washers use a new pump assembly which will
be totally replaced should it require repair. A pump kit
will be available containing the entire pump assembly.
The Allantis III Seal and Bearing are unique and are
matched to the duel drive high torque transmission,
used on this washer. When replacing the seal and
bearing, order parts specific to the Atlantis III washer.
The seal and bearing used on older models will not
fuction properly. The seal kit will also be supplied with
the replacement transmission assembly if it is
necessary to install a new one.
