Whirlpool Cabrio WTW6200S User Manual page 22

As the tub fills with water, the basket begins to
float and to rise. The splined hub components
now separate, and allow the basket to move
independently of the drive shaft.
When the tub drains, the basket drops back to
it's original position, and the hub components
re-engage, connecting the basket to the shaft,
and permitting the basket to spin.

Lid Lock Mechanism—Since this washer
does not utilize a brake, a lid lock is used to
prevent access during the spin cycles. During
the drain and spin portions of the cycle, a lid
lock mechanism will lock the lid. The lid locks
are based on cycle phase. In general, the lid
locks when the basket spins greater than 23
rpm. After main wash, the lid is locked, and
remains locked until the end of the cycle. The
lid must be closed for the machine to fill, wash,
drain, or spin. Magnets in the washer lid close
a reed switch in the lid lock. This acts as the
lid switch.
