Whirlpool GHW9200L, GHW9100L manual Pump Motor, Suspension System, Eco Valve

Pump Motor

A separate pump/pump motor is used to drain the wash tub. (Fig. 3-14)The pump motor is 120 VAC and is attached directly to the pump. The pump has a cleanout filter located at the front that allows for the removal of large objects that may have passed from the basket. (Fig. 3- 15)

Suspension System

The wash tub is held in position with four shock absorbers attached to the bottom four corners of the tub assembly. In addition, the wash tub is suspended from the top frame of the washer with two springs attached to the sides of the unit.

Drain Pump	Stability for this suspension system is provided
	by three concrete counter weights. Two are
	located at the front of the wash tub. One is
	positioned at the back of the tub. These
	counter weights eliminate the need for the
	traditional balance ring. (Fig. 3-17)

Eco Valve	Filter

The washer has a specially designed floating valve that closes during the wash portion of the cycle so that 100% of the water and detergent mixture is used on the wash load. The Eco Valve insures that no water or detergent is wasted. (Fig. 3-16 - Shown from Inside Tub)
