SUB-INTERVAL SPIN (S.I.S.)

Sub-Interval Spin (S.I.S.) is a series of short

spin times initiated by the drive motor during

the first 120 seconds of the cotton/regular spin

cycles, and throughout all of the permanent

press and delicate spin cycles.

The S.I.S. is designed to help the washer break

up soap suds for easier water removal during

drain. The washer uses the drive motor for the

sub-interval spin, (instead of using a clutch), to

bring the basket up to its full spin speed.

THE SPLUTCH ASSEMBLY

The splutch slider has teeth around the bottom

hub that mate with the teeth in the pulley. The

engaging and disengaging of these teeth

changes the drive motor from operating the

agitator or spinning the tub (see the illustration

to the right).

The hub of the slider is grooved to fit over the

lower splined end of the spin tube on the

gearcase assembly. The upper portion of the

spin tube is connected directly to the basket.

As long as the slider is engaged with the

splutch pulley the basket will rotate.

The cam ring controls the movement of the

slider up or down. As the cam ring rotates, the

tabs on the bottom slide up and down on

mating tabs in the splutch housing. This up and

down movement of the cam ring controls the

movement of the slider. A spring maintains

pressure between the two sets of tabs.
