Front Panel
The front panel is a removable, galvanized sheet
metal section. The front panel is fastened at the
top by 2 metal spring clips, and at the bottom by 2
metal tabs, which protrude from the base of the unit
into slots in the panel bottom.
Most major mechanical components can be
accessed by removing the front panel.
To remove the front panel:
Locate 2 spring clips between the top cover and 1.
front panel by aligning a putty knife with left or
right edge of lid.
Insert the putty knife and push forward to 2.
release clips.
Rotate the front panel forward and lift off the 3.
bottom tabs.
Drain Pump
The drain pump is coupled to a 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 85
watt motor. The pump motor has an approximate
resistance value of 12 Ω.
The main control monitors the pump for proper
operation. If no current is detected, or current
detected is stable, exhibiting no change during pump
out, the control will initiate a fi eld service error code.
Note: If a wash cycle has started and the customer
stops the washer by holding the Start/Pause button
for 3 seconds, the pump will not drain any water
from the tub. The washer will go through a spin
algorithm to de-energize the mode shifter and shut
down. The water stays in the tub.
Adaptive Drain
The adaptive drain consists of the board sampling
the drain pump current during pump out. The
control will then turn off the drain pump during
the spin cycle. The control will periodically turn the
pump back on and resample the pump current
draw. If the control does not sense the higher
sampled current draw, indicating pumped water, the
control will turn off the drain pump.
This feature has benefi ts for suds lock control and
less energy consumption.
Do NOT replace the drain pump or control for this
symptom!
It is normal operation (on some models), for the
drain pump to turn off in the spin cycle.
