How Your Washer Works
(Electronic Control Models)
General
This frontload washer provides some of the same
principles of operation as the typical topload washers.
It senses water level, it dispenses the desired laundry
detergent, agitates the clothes for good cleaning
action, removes the water out of the washer and spins
the clothing in preparation for the dryer.
The difference in operation is primarily the rotational
washing agitation created for the horizontal basket and
drum. This agitation tumbles the clothes in a
clockwise, pause, and counter-clockwise direction.
This reversing tumbling action provides an efficient
washing process and requires less laundry detergent
and less water.
The cycle begins by locking the loading door after the
vend is satisfied. The type of cycle and water
temperature are determined by the appropriate pads on
the electronic control.
The inner basket starts agitating during the wash water
fill. A column of air is trapped in a pressure bulb and
hose. The air pressure continues to increase as the
inner basket fills with water until it is great enough to
