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.
Loading Door Removal
A. Support door to prevent dropping.
B. Remove 3 bolts holding hinge retainer and set door off.
Loading Door Disassembly
A. Remove the loading door as outlined above.
B. Lay the door on a flat surface with the glass down.
C. While holding down on the door glass, lift up on the door ring and roll back the lip of the gasket
with your fingers.
D. Work all the way around the gasket and the glass is out.

C. Use one hand underneath to push the gasket out and the other hand on the top pulling the
gasket in place.
D. The front lip of the door gasket should be checked for proper seating.
Loading Door Adjustment
The door can be adjusted by changing the number of shims behind the door hinge and the door lock assem-
bly. The vertical fit of the door to the tub can be altered by loosening the door hinge bolts and raising or
lowering the door before retightening. It is important for the door to be centered on the tub front. By chalking
the nose of the tub and closing the door to transfer that line to the gasket, the centering can be evaluated. It
is also important for door pressure to be similar around the door perimeter. Door pressure can be evaluated
by inserting a dollar bill in several positions and tugging on it. See Parts Section for kit to increase door
sealing pressure.
Loading Door Hinge Removal
A. First remove loading door, front panel, and trim ring.
B. Remove 3 screws holding door hinge. Shims may be present between hinge and tub front. The
number may be increased or decreased to adjust right side door pressure.
NOTE: Door hinge mounting bolts penetrate tub front and require silicone sealer applied to
holes when reinstalling.
