Water Inlet Flume; Air Bell; Hoses - Maytag Jenn-Air Service Manual

WATER INLET FLUME
The molded plastic water inlet flume
consists of an upper and lower section
that have been snap-locked together.
This forms a water tight assembly with a
built-in siphon break.
The flume is located on the rear under-
side of the washer top assembly. The
flume fits flush with the top opening and
is secured to the top by two (2) mounting
screws. An inlet hose from the water
mixing valve connects to the flume
nozzle.
air will also reset the switch during the
drain cycle.
NOTE: When reinstalling the pressure
switch hose, make sure the system is
free of air leaks and water in the hose,
or an overflow condition will occur.
HOSES
Water Supply Inlet Hoses
Two (2) water inlet hoses attach from hot
and cold water supply lines to their re-
spective nozzles on the water mixing
valve and are secured at both ends with
threaded couplings.
Flume Inlet Hose
The flume inlet hose attaches the water
mixing valve to the water inlet flume. It is
secured at both ends with spring type
hose clamps.
Pressure Switch Hose
A polypropylene air bell and nipple as-
sembly has been thermally welded to the
lower, outer tub, rear. One end of the
pressure switch hose connects to the air
bell nipple and the other end is attached
to the water level switch.

Hose
The pressure switch hose is made of soft
plastic tubing and fits snugly over the
water level switch nipple at one end, and
the air bell nipple at the other. A clamp
on the inner cabinet rear positions the
hose, and a pad prevents the hose from
contacting the back of the cabinet during
operation. The hose is installed with its
ends butted against the switch and air
bell bodies, and is secured at both ends
with a spring type hose clamp.
As the water level rises in the tub, it
compresses the air in the air bell nipple
and the attached hose. The compressed
air inside the hose will activate the pneu-
matically operated water level switch
when the selected water level has been
reached. The lack of compressed
Tub to Pump Hose
The tub to pump hose attaches from the
drain nipple on the tub to the pump inlet
nozzle. It is secured at each end with a
spring type-hose clamp.
