Door Locking Solenoid
The door locking solenoid is powered shut with control
voltage to lock the door and releases when voltage is
removed. It is located in the left front corner of the washer.
Thermoactuators
The thermoactuators are a safety device that keeps the
door from immediately unlocking if power is lost while the
machine is operating. They are mounted under the door
locking solenoid.
Lock Thermoactuator
Control voltage is applied to the lock thermoactuator at
the beginning of the cycle making it extend and block
the door locking solenoid. This keeps the door locked for
approximately two minutes after a power failure occurs.
The lock thermoactuator does not delay the door opening
at the end of a normal cycle.
Unlock Thermoactuator
To insure that the lock thermoactuator has retracted by the
end of the cycle, one minute prior to the end of the cycle,
the unlock thermoactuator is powered with control voltage
making it extend and unblock the door locking solenoid.
Drive Belt Removal
Turn the drive belt(s) off the basket pulley fi rst and then
remove from the motor pulley.
Reverse this procedure for installation.
