TRAINING MANUAL WM2801H*A

BALANCE RING

Another part of the anti-vibration system is the balance ring attached to the front of the
drum. This balance ring contains several heavy steel balls and is filled with a viscous fluid.
When the tub spins, the balls drift naturally and slowly to a position opposite the out-of-
balance load to compensate. The vibration sensor detects the vibration generated by
this out-of-balance load and limits the velocity of the drum until the balls have had time
to regulate themselves. As the vibration is eliminated, the control board allows the motor
™
to increase to full speed. This system eliminates the need for the SpinSense system
that was included on earlier machines.
