Door Lock Assembly Operation
After loading the clothing, the door should be closed and latched. The locking cam on the door contacts
the latching switch actuator which closes the latching switch. The specied number of coins should now be
added to start the washer. The solenoid pulls up on the locking pawl by use of a linkage rod. The locking
pawl has two jobs. The rst is to lock the door. This is accomplished by blocking the locking cam on the
door so that it can’t rotate to unlock. The second job is to close the two piggyback lock sensing switches.
These switches control power to all of the controls. If the door unlocks for any reason, these two switches
will stop the machine. When the door handle is 1/4 to 1/2 of an inch from its fully closed position, the
latching switch should close. The two piggyback lock sensing switches should be open when the door is
unlocked and should be closed when the door is locked.
Accessing the Door Lock Assembly
After removing the front panel and masking ring, the door lock assembly can now be accessed.
