In the spin mode, the top of the leveler is positioned to be in line with the nutate shaft. This levels the outer wash plate so that the spin basket spins without an out of balance condition that would be caused by a tilted wash plate.

The leveler shift mechanism is moved from nutate to spin by the nutate shaft direction and an interfer- ence with the inner wash plate embossment.

UNIVERSAL JOINT

During Nutation, the Wash Plate is tipped at a 35 degree angle and must be free to undulate to move the clothing properly. The Wash Plate is attached to a Universal Joint that allows the Plate that freedom of movement.

The Universal Joint is attached to the basket drive block by a spanner nut and is sealed top and bottom by a boot and various seals to keep water from damaging its pivoting parts. The boot is attached to the bottom of the U-Joint and pre- vents water from getting to the U-Joint from underneath. At- tached to the basket drive hub is an O-ring that forms a seal between the U-Joint boot and the basket drive hub.

The top of the U-Joint is sealed by six, (6), grommets and a gasket that is attached to the underside of the inner wash plate. The six grommets, wash plate gasket and/or O-ring MUST be replaced whenever their sealing surface(s) have been disturbed. The Seal Kit is Part #285842.
