IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVER LUBRICATE!
Excess lubricant can be thrown into pivot dome
area during normal washer operation. Any
lubricant on pivot dome, base or friction ring will
affect washer operation. This condition will persist
until lubricant is removed.
IMPORTANT: After installing complete tub
module in washer and all hoses have been
reconnected, add at least a quart of water to
washtub to lubricate pump seals. Running a pump
without water will ruin the seals.
NOTE: Refer to Figure 56 for assembly sequence.
t. After brake is installed, put washer through the
following check to make sure brake is operating
properly.
(1) Turn off electrical power to washer.
(2) Turn drive pulley one complete revolution
in agitation direction, then push drive
pulley up against brake.
(3) Check for a .030 (.76 mm) minimum gap
between drive pulley and helix ramp
surfaces.
IMPORTANT: If gap is less than .030 (.76 mm),
brake may not stop washtub from spinning in
required seven seconds because brake will not close
properly.
(4) Turn on electrical power to washer and start
washer in the final spin.
NOTE: ALL MODELS WITHOUT THE LETTER
