Heater Assembly
The heater assembly is located above the pump, •
and is accessed from the front of the washer.
The heater assembly consists of a heating •
element and a water temperature thermistor.
The heater can operate in • WHITES/HEAVY
DUTY, or STAIN INSPECTOR wash cycles, and
when the sanitize wash temperature is selected.
The heater assembly is held in place by a •
bracket attached to the inside of the outer tub
and a 10-mm nut which compresses a rubber
gasket to the tub opening.
When the 10-mm hex nut is tightened, it •
squeezes the rubber gasket between 2
mounting plates to seal the heater assembly to
the opening of the tub.
The hex nut is set from the factory at 31 in. lbs •
of torque.
Operation of the heater assembly can be checked
by using service test mode t10. (See Service Test
Mode.)
Specifi c failures associated with the heater
assembly can initiate error codes E4 and E5. (See
Service Test Mode.)
