Pump Motor - Whirlpool GHW9100L Service Manual

Pump Motor

A separate pump/pump motor is used to drain
the wash tub. (Fig. 3-14) The pump motor is
120 VAC and is attached directly to the pump.
The pump has a cleanout filter located at the
front that allows for the removal of large objects
that may have passed from the basket. (Fig. 3-
15)

Eco Valve
The washer has a specially designed floating
valve that closes during the wash portion of the
cycle so that 100% of the water and detergent
mixture is used on the wash load. The Eco
Valve insures that no water or detergent is
wasted. (Fig. 3-16 - Shown from Inside Tub)

Suspension System
The wash tub is held in position with four shock
absorbers attached to the bottom four corners
of the tub assembly. In addition, the wash tub is
suspended from the top frame of the washer
with two springs attached to the sides of the
unit.
Stability for this suspension system is provided
by three concrete counter weights. Two are
located at the front of the wash tub. One is
positioned at the back of the tub. These
counter weights eliminate the need for the
traditional balance ring. (Fig. 3-17)
