Clutch Shifter Assembly

The clutch assembly locks or unlocks the basket
and infusor together, depending on the wash cycle
pattern. (See
description of wash cycles.)
• The infusor is connected directly to the motor
shaft. Whenever the motor is rotating, the
infusor is rotating.
• The clutch only locks or unlocks the wash
basket.
When the washer first starts a cycle, the infusor
moves back and forth several times to make sure
the basket and infusor are in the unlocked position
before starting. This action is called "clutching"
and confirms that the clutch motor is in the
unlocked position.
Note: Wash cycle patterns will vary depending on
user time adjustments, soil level adjustments,
