2.Secure the retainer clip on the outside ridge of the air dome hose.

3.Push the bent end of the air dome down into the sump area, below the spin basket, making sure the flat rubber tab on the air dome is down inside the drain sump opening.

4.The air dome hose is retained to the rear wall of the cabinet with two clips.

NOTE: A silver indicator mark is located approximately 20 inches away from the air dome. The indicator mark must be located under the lower clip to allow the correct amount of slack in the hose.

5.Remove all slack in the hose between the upper and lower clips holding the air dome hose. This reduces the potential for noise.

6.Route the air dome hose into the center rear hole in the top cover. Route toward the pressure switch and secure the hose to the pressure switch.

DISPENSER ASSEMBLY

The dispenser assembly is located in the left hand side of the top cover. Three bays dis- pense the fabric softener, bleach and deter- gent into the wash load. A double wax motor mechanism directs the flow of water into each specific bay when required for disbursement into the wash load. When a specific fluid is required, the water is directed into that bay. As water fills the bay, the fluid level rises. When the fluid reaches a specific height, it is siphoned out into the dispenser injector hose to the wash load.
