Disassembly Procedures
!WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death, disconnect power to unit before servicing.
6.Remove Pressure Switch hose, Tub Springs and Outer Tub/Transmission assembly, see “Agitator/ Spinner/Outer Tub/Transmission Removal” procedure steps 13, 14 and 16.
7.Remove screws from sides and rear of unit around bottom, connecting Cabinet to Base. Remove Cabinet from Base and set aside. Be sure to lay down a protective pad before removing Tub and Transmission assembly from Base. Remove Tub and Transmission assembly, turn over and lay on protective pad.
8.Remove Dust Cap, Retaining Ring, Washer, Cam, and Drive Pulley from bottom of Transmission, see “Drive Pully and Cam Removal” procedure.
9.Remove Brake assembly from Transmission, see “Brake Disassembly” procedure steps 4 - 12. Remove old Snubber from Transmission.
10.Install new Snubber, see “Snubber/Brake Assembly” procedure steps 3 - 6. Insure Snubber is centered.
11.Turn new Base upside down and apply grease at bottom of the spring hole pockets to eliminate noise between Spring and Base interaction.
12.Clean the dome area of new Base with alcohol then apply corn starch.
13.Reinstall Motor and Pump to new Base.
14.Transfer Transmission and Outer Tub onto new Base. Attach Suspension Springs using spring tool to avoid over stretching the Springs.
15.Transfer Cabinet shell onto new Base and reassemble Washer. Be sure to reattach Pressure Switch Hose to back of Tub, Drain Pump Hoses with clamps to Drain Pump, and wire harness to Motor. Check all hoses and wires to make sure they are secure.
16.Test Washer.
Transmission Operation
When the Drive Pulley rotates CLOCKWISE, the upper and lower cams are designed to nest together which allows the Drive Pulley to remain in position on the drive shaft. The Break remains engaged and the Drive Pulley will turn the lower cam and drive the shaft to cause the Transmission to agitate.
When the Drive Pulley rotates COUNTERCLOCKWISE, the upper cam and Pulley ride up the lower cam approxi- mately 3/16 of an inch before the driving shoulders on the Pulley hub engage the "dogs" on the lower cam.
This causes the top of the Pulley hub to push against the Spacer which compresses the Brake Spring and lifts the Brake Rotor and Lining assembly off the Brake Stator.
The Brake is disengaged and the Pulley will turn the lower cam and drive shaft to cause the Transmission to spin.
Determine Brake Rotor Condition
Watch the Spacer on the Encapsulated Thrust Bearing. If the Spacer rotates with the Pulley, the Brake is functioning properly. If the Spacer stays stationary while rotating the Pulley to release the Brake, the Brake Rotor must be replaced.
After reassembling the Washer, fill the Tub with water and select a spin to drain the Tub. When the cycle is finished, verify the adjustment of the Brake, and verify the Spacer on the Thrust Bearing rotates with the Pulley.
Brake Adjustment
1.After reassembling the components on the drive shaft, it may be necessary to pull down on the shaft to take the endplay out before the Thrust Washer and Retaining Ring can be reinstalled.
NOTE: Each time the cams are reassembled on the drive shaft, the point in the cam rise where the Brake disengages the Stator should be checked and adjusted as necessary. Reference points have been molded into the Pulley as an aid in checking the point of Brake disengagement.
