Whirlpool 4322616 manual Solenoids are energized to allow water to fill

The water level switch is set to move from the EMPTY position to the FULL position depend- ing on how much tension is set on the switch diaphragm.

3. When the customer pulls the timer knob out,

voltage is supplied to the hot and/or cold wa-

ter inlet solenoids. In the example above, both

solenoids are energized to allow water to fill

the tub.

4. As the water level rises in the tub, it causes

an increase in air pressure in the air dome

assembly mounted to the side of the tub. A

hose between the air dome and the water level

switch transfers this air pressure against the

diaphragm in the water level switch, causing

electrical contacts to move from V to P,

(EMPTY position), to V to T, (FULL position).
