Page 13: Automatic Dispenser
Section 1 Basic Information Automatic Dispenser The automatic dispenser for detergent, liquid bleach and fabric softener system is made up of the dispenser cavity, and a removable drawer with three cavities: one for detergent, one for bleach and one for fabric softener. A plastic conveyer is snapped to the bottom of the drawer to direct the outputs from the bleach and softener chambers to the dispenser housing outlet channel. - Page 14 Section 1 Basic Information This path allows the water to bypass the dispenser drawer and enter the tub by the advanced rinsing technology hose connected between the cavity and the bellows. (See Figure 1-25) Figure 1-27. Figure 1-25. The detergent dispenser channel receives water from the right-hand input, as viewed from the front of the washer.
- Page 15 Section 1 Basic Information Detergent is dispensed at the start of the cycle, but bleach and fabric softener are not dispensed until later in the cycle. The bleach and softener cavities in the drawer have tubes molded into the bottom of them. These tubes allow bleach or fabric softener to be added to their cavity without being dispensed as long as the liquid is below the top of the tubes.
-
Page 16: Drain Pump
Section 1 Basic Information For water to enter the fabric softener channel, both the left and right inlets must be activated. As the water from the left inlet pass over the channel, it collides with the water from the right inlet. This collision changes the water path directing it to the front of the cavity and into the fabric softener channel. -
