PUMP ASSEMBLY

The pump assembly is mounted to the right
rear area of the base.
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Spread a towel below the drain hoses prior
to loosening the hose clamps. This will
catch any residual water left in the hoses
and sump area.
3. Remove the hose clamps and hoses from
the pump.
4. Remove the wiring harness from the pump
motor terminals.
5. Rotate the pump assembly in a counter-
clockwise direction. The support legs of
the pump are slotted to engage in keyed
slots in the base. Reverse the steps to re-
mount the pump.
As water is filling the dispenser assembly,
water is also diverted to a hose leading to the
front of the outer tub.
As the water enters
the top of the outer
tub through the hose,
it passes through a
water flume. The
flume directs the wa-
ter toward the front of
the tub to saturate the
clothes load.
