DOOR LOCK MECHANISM

The purpose of the door lock mechanism is

to secure the door during the spin cycle.

When the door is shut, the wire loop on the

door engages the rotating gear in the door

lock mechanism

(Figure 5-7)

. When the

proper water level is reached and the pres-

sure switch is satisfied, 120 VAC is applied to

the wax motor. The piston in the wax motor

will extend, pushing the latch axle and sliding

gear from left to right. Teeth on the face of

the sliding gear will intermesh with the teeth

on the side of the rotating gear (normally takes

about 45-60 seconds). This interlocking of

teeth provides the locking action of the lock

mechanism.

At the end of the spin cycle, when tumbler

speed drops below 90 RPM, voltage is no

longer applied to the wax motor. The wax

motor will cool and relax the piston on the

wax motor. The latch axle and sliding gear

are then pulled from right to left, disengaging

the teeth of the sliding gear from the rotating

gear (normally takes 1 - 1½ minutes). This al-

lows the rotating gear to be in a position to

rotate if necessary, should the door be

opened.

REMOVAL

1. Remove the front panel

(See Front Panel

Removal)

.

2. Remove the four screws fastening the dis-

penser bezel to the top of the top cover

(See Dispenser Assembly)

.

3. Remove two 5/16" hex head screws secur-

ing the two hold down brackets on the top

cover

(Figure 5-5)

.

4. To remove the hold down brackets, swing

the bracket to the outside to unhook the

bracket from the slot in the top cover lip

(Figure 5-6)

.

5. If the door is still positioned on the front

shroud, open the door prior to lifting the

front of the top cover and tilt the top cover

toward the rear of the machine.
