Pump Motor; Eco Valve; Suspension System - Kenmore 110.42822200 User Manual

Pump Motor
A separate pump/pump motor is used to drain the wash
lub. (Fig. 2-14) The pump motor is 120 VAC and is at-
tached directly to the pump. The pump has a clean-out
filter located at the front that allows for the removal of large
objects that may have passed from the drum. (Fig.2-15)
Eco Valve
The washer has a specially designed valve that closes
during the wash portion of the cycle so that 100% of the
water and detergent mixture is used on the wash load.
The Eco Valve insures that no water or detergent is
wasred. (Fig. 2-1a & 2-16)
Suspension System
The wash tub is held in its horizontal position with four
pneumatic shock absorbers attached to the bottom
four corners of the tub assembly. In addition, the wash
tub is suspended from the top frame of the washer with
two springs attached to the sides of the unit.
Stability for this suspension system is provided by
three concrete counter weights. Two are located at the
front of the wash tub. One is positioned at the back of
the tub. These counter weights eliminate the need for
the traditional balance ring. (Fig. 2-1 7)
