During

the

fill

portion

of

the

cycle,

the

solenoid

is

energized,

creating

an

electromagnetic

field

and

pulling

the

plunger

"E"

away

from

the

diaphragm.

This

allows

water

to

escape

out

opening

"G",

thus

having

little

pressure

from

the

supply

forces

the

diaphragm

"C"

open

and

allows

water

to

run

under

the

diaphragm

and

out

the

outlet

of

the

valve

and

into

the

washer.

When

the

washer

fills

to

selected

water

level,

the

solenoid

is

de-energized

and

the

plunger

spring

"F"

pushes

the

plunger

back

into

the

diaphragm

opening

"G".

Water

is

forced

through

the

bleed

holes

"0"

until

an

equal

pressure

is

attained

on

both

sides

of

the

diaphragm

thus

Assume

for

a

moment,

the

solenoid

is

energized

and

the

washer

is

filling.

If a

foreign

particle

reaches

the

water

valve

"A"

and

there

are

no

screens

to

stop

the

particle,

it

continues

on

into

the

valve

to

the

diaphragm

"C"

and

the

par-

ticle

lodges

in

the

small

bleed

hole.

This

permits

the

water

to

continue

to

flow

under

the

diaphragm,

to

the

outlet

and

into

the

tub;

because

the

water

cannot

pass

through

the

bleed

holes

to

equalize

pressure

on both

sides

of

the

diaphragm

to

close

the

diaphragm

seat

down

on

the

valve

seat.
