6. Carefully lift the valve with the inlet
hoses attached and direct the inlet
hoses through the openings in the
valve mounting bracket.
7. The hoses can be crimped or the
water shut off at the faucets. Place a
towel below the valve and remove the
inlet hoses from the water valve.

tioned procedure.
DISPENSER ASSEMBLY
The wax motor and linkage system de-
signed for proper dispersing of the water
into the bleach and fabric softener dis-
pensing cups has been eliminated. The
new system uses a 4 coil water valve with
designated inlet hoses leading to each
dispensing cup. The 4 coil water valve
operates like a 2 coil water valve. The
two water valve coils are individually
dedicated to dispensing water through
the bleach and fabric softener dispensing
cups. When either of these valves is
open, part of the flow will be routed
through the dispenser cup. A portion of
the flow will still be routed through the
detergent wash area.

WATER VALVE
The water valve is accessible from the

dispenser 3 gpm.
Removal
1. Discontinue power and water to the
machine.
2. Remove the front panel and lift the top
cover.
3. Remove the wire harness connections
to the water valve solenoids.
4. Loosen and remove the hose clamps
on the inlet hoses leading away from
the water valve.
5. Locate and loosen the valve mounting
screw by turning the screw at least
three full turns.
NOTE: The mounting screw serves
as a locating pin to hold the valve in
position on the mounting bracket. By
partially removing the screw, the
water valve can now be slid to the
left and removed from the bracket
(Figure 8-1).
