Machine Overview

The design of the washer-extractor emphasizes performance and long service life. The cylinder, shell, and main body panels are fabricated of stainless steel.

The washer-extractor features the WE-6 microcomputer which offers 39 preprogrammed cycles and programming versatility in the field.

The AC inverter drive control provides programmable motor speeds using a single motor. This makes it possible to achieve ultra-high extract speeds.

The cylinder is supported by roller bearings housed inside a trunnion.

The cylinder is constructed with four lifters or ribs that lift the laundry from the bath solution when the cylinder rotates at slow speed and then allow it to tumble back into the bath. This mechanical action accomplishes the cleaning function. The cylinder is perforated, allowing the water to drain from within during the wash and extract steps.

The supply dispenser is located on the upper left side of the control panel. The supply dispenser compartments are accessed by unlatching the supply dispenser cover door. These compartments accept powder or liquid supplies. Each compartment is controlled independently by the WE-6 computer.

Electrical controls for the washer-extractor are housed in separate enclosures. The front control module is located just behind the keypad and control panel. It houses the WE-6 computer board, a fuse/relay board, and other functional electrical components. The rear control module houses the AC inverter drive and its components.

A door-lock system prevents opening of the door when water is in the washer-extractor. It also prevents operation of the washer-extractor when the door is open.
