DOOR LOCK MECHANISM

DOOR LOCK MECHANISM

The door lock mechanism is now locked and unlocked via solenoids, resulting in faster locking and unlocking of the washer door. The mechanism is a non-repairable assembly and must be replaced as an assembly.

An Emergency Access Cord is available and is accessible by removing the dis- penser bezel. The nylon cord is located and pulled in a direction away from the lock area. The cord is attached to the mechanical opener. When the cord is pulled, the opener will pivot and push the locking lever into the open positon.
