SELECTOR SWITCHES
On some models, the inlet water tem-
perature and the motor speed are con-
trolled by the timer, but most models
employ a separate switch or switches
to control these items.
The switches used may be a rotary type,
pushbutton type, or some models may
use both types.
Selector switch charts indicating the
contact alignment for the various posi-
tions of each switch used appear on the
schematic diagram. These charts should
be referred to for specific information on
the model being serviced. Typical selec-
tor switch charts are shown in the fol-
lowing tables.

Testing Selector Switches
The selector switch can be accessed as
previously detailed in
Section
3 under
Control Panel Disassembly.
It can be
tested using an ohmmeter and executing
the following:
• Remove all switch wiring and perform
continuity checks using the respective
selector switch chart to indicate the
proper continuity.
SAFETY SPIN SWITCH
The safety spin switch assembly is con-
structed of thermoplastic. The safety spin
switch, bracket, lever, and clip are
mounted to the underside of the cabinet
top. The switch is a single pole, throw
type with normally open contacts.
A switch actuator is installed on the
clothes door and protrudes down ap-
proximately 3/4" below the bottom edge
of the door.
When the door is closed, the switch
actuator passes through a slot in the
cabinet top and contacts the switch lever.
The switch lever is moved downward
causing the switch to close its contacts.
