Door Lock Assembly Operation

The door lock has a push push mechanism that is either
in the latched position, where the strike is in the cam, or
an unlatched position, where the strike is not in the cam.
When in the locked position, the user can push the Start/
Pause button which activates a solenoid causing the door
to lock. When the Start/ Pause button or Cancel button
Manual Override
is pushed, the solenoid is activated again causing the
Lever For Door Lock
door to unlock. The solenoid does not require a constant
Door Lock Manual Override Lever
current, but only an impulse to lock or unlock. If the door
lock is locked when the power goes out, there is a manual
override switch in the back of the door lock assembly to
unlock the door lock. When the door lock assembly is
mounted in the front panel on the right (when facing the
front panel) the manual override switch lever would need
to be pulled up, and when assembled on the left, the lever
would be pushed down.
There is a child entrapment safety feature that allows a
child to push from the inside of the unit with less than 15
pounds of force and the door will open, but only when the
door is unlocked.
When in the unlatched position, there is one electrical
and two mechanical features that prevent the door lock
from being able to lock.
Electronic Water

Electronic Water Level Switch

Level Sensor
The electronic water level sensor is mounted to the right
side panel under the top of the washer and controls the
water level in the washer. Bottom of
Wash Tub
The electronic water level sensor is made up of an
Hose
electronic board and a bellow inside a sealed chamber.
The chamber is connected by a hose to the air bell
located at the bottom of the washer attached to the
drain boot. The electronic board reads the pressure in
the bellow and converts it into an electronic signal. This
Air Bell
signal is then sent to the control board which governs the
incoming water by connecting or disconnecting a neutral
Drain Boot
line to the water solenoids.
