Attention: To get a good Washing performance, when using the maximum Washer capacity, attend to informations below: a) Light clothes that has a large volume (ex.: Synthetic clothes). May can’t accommodate at the Washer Basket volume, although they are into the capacity limit (weight). Try not to use the total capacity. b) Heavy cloths that keep compacted around the Agitator also can be prejudicial to the Washing performance.
4.4.2 Cloth discoloring test In order to prevent problems related to cloth color, a test to assess cloth resistance to Discoloring is shown below: • Wet a piece of cloth with water, preferably in hem or internal part. • Put a white cloth (for testing purpose) over wetted area and iron at high temperature. •...
5.2 – Cover (Top) The Cover is fastened to the Cabinet by 2 screws located in its rear side. DISMOUNTING: Release the 2 rear screws; Raise the rear side of the Cover a little; Pull it to the front. 5.3 – Timer Protective (Cover) The Timer Protective is located in the internal rear side of the Cover.

5.5 – Inlet Valve The Valve assembly is responsible for release the soap and filling operation and it has 2 water inlet Valves. One valve is responsible for released the Hot water inlet and the other one is responsible for release the Cold water inlet, according with the water temperature selection on the panel.
5.6 Dispenser Softener Dispenser (1) It’s located on Agitator superior region. Attention: We don’t recommend the Softener dissolution, because it can leave the Dispenser at the wrong moment, example, during the agitation. The Softener releasing happen during the Spin cycle into the Fast Wash period for all programs, due to Centripetal Force.
TEST In resistance scale, you must check the continuity between its terminals. Continuity must be present with rod pressed (Lid closed), and not present with rod free. Open and close the Lid several times with Micro Switch within its housing. No intermittence must be present. Continuity (Ohms - Ω) Pressed ∞...
DISMOUNTING Release the Clamp and remove the outlet Hose attached to the Electric Pump; Release the 3 screws that fasten the Electric Pump to the Tub; Pull it outwards. 5.9 – Motor The Motor enables reverting rotation direction during the Agitation cycle, which is controlled by the Electronic Control (PCB).
5.10 – Capacitor (15mf) It has the function of helping in the Motor start and also in its rotation direction reversal. TEST In order to test Capacitor, discharge it by short-circuiting its terminals by a screwdriver with insulating handle. Connect an Ohmmeter in Rx100 scale to Capacitor terminals. Pointer should move towards ''0'' reading in scale and then return towards ''infinite''.
5.12 – Tub Made with polypropylene material, it has external structural reinforcements, as well as a projection through which the water can pass in case of overflow; the water is sent directly to the ground, preventing damage to the electric components. DISMOUNTING Remove the Top / Lid;...
5.14 – Suspension Four (4) sets of Suspension Rods support the Tub/Mechanism assembly. The Suspension Rod set is composed by: WWD22A A – Ball Suspension Upper B – Strap C – Suspension Rod Assembly D - Cup E – Spring F –...

5.15.1 - Mechanism Operation Agitation The Brake Actuator is deactivated at the beginning of this operation, thus braking the Gearcase. At this moment the Brake Arm displaces the Articulated Cam, which due to its projections slides on the External Cam, causing the Sliding Ring to rise, disengaging its teeth from the Pulley. Coupled to the Pulley, the Entry Shaft transmits the agitation movement to the Planetary Gears and from these to the Agitation Shaft.

D – Mounting Shaft Position the Gearcase in the Tub base; Position the Device on the Tub Support by fastening the bolts (A) and screws (B) as mentioned by dismounting process. Place the Lever so it matches with the holes in the Mounting Shaft and Center Shaft and rotate it in the clockwise direction until the mounting shaft edge nearly touches the Device’s body.
5.16 – Brake Set It is located on the Motor Support. The Brake set is composed by: Spring, Brake Arm, Actuator and Brake Band. When activated, it actuates on the Gearcase Drum. A – Brake Pin B – Spring Brake C –...
5.17.2 – Brake Operation Spinning Electronic Control (PCB) energizes Brake Actuator, overcoming the spring tension and attracting its movable part and the Brake Arm. Then the Brake Band releases the Gearcase, enabling the operation. A – Brake Set Movement Agitation With the Actuator deactivated, the Brake Arm is attracted by the Spring strength (in the direction contrary to the Actuator...
