THEORY OF OPERATION INTRODUCTION The VMW Vertical Modular Washer represents several familiar features from prior designs. It utilizes and improves on the best systems from prior Whirlpool top load automatic washer de- signs and integrates them into this new design. DRIVE SYSTEM Motor –... - Page 19 Splutch – The splutch is made up of five parts; a spring, housing, cam ring, basket drive gear and pulley. The pulley is connected to the agitator through the agitator shaft. The agitator al- ways moves with the pulley. The basket drive gear is connected to the basket by the inner splines contacting the outer splines of the transmission.

Page 20: Actuator
ACTUATOR The actuator serves several functions. It has a synchronous motor that shifts the splutch slider and monitors the position of the splutch. It also houses a transmission speed/position optical sensor. -
Page 21: Lid Lock Mechanism
LID LOCK MECHANISM Since this washer does not utilize a brake, a lid lock is used to prevent access during use. During a cycle, a lid lock mechanism will lock the lid. The lid must be closed for the machine to fill, wash, drain, or spin. The mechanism houses a switch that senses that the lid is down, a latch solenoid and a switch to confirm that the lid is locked. -
