Automatic Dispenser - GE WSXH208A Series Technical Service Manual

The Automatic Dispenser has been changed from
a mechanical to an electrical operation. When the
water valve is activated, all the water entering the
washer must pass through the tube at the rear of
the dispenser. The tube at the end of the dis-
penser has four possible outlets. The outlet that
allows water to go into the tub and the outlet that
allows water to go into the soap section of the
dispenser are constantly open. The outlet that
allows water into the bleach section of the dis-
penser and the outlet that allows water into the
softner section of the dispenser are controlled by

solenoids. When water enters the washer, water
flows through the tube directing water into the tub
and through the soap section to the dispenser.
When it is time for either the bleach or the softener
to be released, the timer will activate the soleniod
that controls water to that section. The addition of
water to either the bleach or softener cavity starts
the flow out of that cavity into the tub. As in the
earlier model, the tubes in the inserts and the
tubes in the cavities form a siphon that empties
the cavity once the flow has started.
