THEORY OF OPERATION

INTRODUCTION

• The HE and HE Front-Loading Automatic Washers present a number of new features and operating characteristics that are quite different from those of previous models, in addition to the introduction of front-loading operation. The HE and HE contain a number of unique operating features designed to increase clothes’ cleaning ability while offering very high water and energy conservation.
• Water System
• The HE and HE” water system consists of hot and cold water inlet valves, a water temperature sensor, a water flowmeter and control, and the dispenser distribution system along with a traditional pressure switch,
• Water Inlet Valves
• The hot and cold water inlet valves are located at the back of the washer. These valves receive a control signal from the Central Control Unit to manage the temperature of incoming water. The temperatures are determined by the specific wash cycle selected and a temperature sensor located in the wash tub. To improve cleaning heavily soiled clothing and to provide a sanitizing feature, the water temperature can be increased through the use of a heating element located in the bottom of the tub, (HE’ model only).
• Flowmeter
• Water flow, or the quantity of water introduced throughout any cycle is monitored by a flowmeter and Central Control Unit. When the flowmeter registers a maximum of 10.5 gal. (40 L), and the Central Control Unit has not detected the pressure switch trip, the water valves will be shut off and an error code will show in the digital display.

Dispenser Distribution System

All wash and rinse water is introduced into the wash tub through a Dispenser Distribution System located in the top left corner of the washer. The system consists of a motor that turns a cam gear. The cam follower will divert the incoming water to one or more of the following water inlet modes:

• Detergent Dispensing
• Bleach Dispensing
• Fabric Softener Dispensing
• Rinse Dispensing (no additives)

The dispenser drawer has four separate compartments for adding laundry products to the wash load. These compartments are:

1. Prewash Detergent Compartment
2. Main Wash Detergent Compartment
3. Bleach Compartment
4. Fabric Softener Compartment

• Laundry products are diluted and dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle.
• The separator between the Prewash and Main Wash Detergent Compartments can be moved to accommodate either liquid or powdered detergents. (Fig. 2-4)
• The drawer release lever (shown here in the normal position) can be installed in an alternate position (A) to accommodate stacking a matching dryer on top of the washer (Fig. 2- 4)
• Refer to the Use and Care Guide for the Front-Loading Auto-dry products.
• There are two routes for the water to enter the washtub. Most of the water flows through the dispenser assembly. A small portion of the water flows around the dispensers and is used to wash the door window.
  • 1. Main Inlet Tube (Fig. 2-5, A)
  • 2. Window Washer Inlet Tube (Fig. 2-5, B)

Customer Interface and Cycle Selection

• Status Indicators
• Status Indicators These lights show which portion of the cycle the washer is operating. They also indicate when additional items can be added to the wash cycle and when the controls are locked.
• Extra Cycle Selection – The Rinse/Spin selection operates a rinse and spin cycle only. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling and extra high-speed spin. The spin speed can be reduced by selecting a speed from the SPIN SPEED modifier.
