Clutch Shifter Assembly

The clutch assembly locks or unlocks the basket
and infusor together, depending on the wash cycle
pattern. (See
Basic Wash Cycle
of wash cycles.)
• The infusor is connected directly to the motor
shaft. Whenever the motor is rotating, the
infusor is rotating.
• The clutch only locks or unlocks the wash
basket.
When the washer fi rst starts a cycle, the infusor
moves back and forth several times to make sure
the basket and infusor are in the unlocked position
before starting. This action is called "clutching" and
confi rms that the clutch motor is in the unlocked
position.
Note: Wash cycle patterns vary depending on user
time adjustments, soil level adjustments, fabric
types, and wash-load weights.
