Service Information

Drying Vent

The grid and baffle are welded together for a one-piece
assembly, mounted by two screws.
Inner door flange above vent is flame treated to keep
water beads from forming. Top inside surface of tub is
similarly treated.
During wash and dry it is normal to see water vapor
coming through vent.
During wash and rinse periods, vent opening in inner
door is sealed off by water splashing up into grooves in
vent assembly as shown in illustration below. At
beginning of dry cycle, when wash action stops, water in
these grooves drains off opening vent during dry.

Control Panel Assembly

Push Button Switches

Switch contacts are opened or closed when a specific
push button cycle selection is pressed in. Together with
switches in timer control, push button switches set up
specific electrical circuits for cycle selected.
For the push button switch, the switch contacts remain
closed or open throughout the cycle; the timer switch
contacts open and close as the timer cam turns through
360 degrees.
