Cycle Selection
Always follow instructions on fabric care labels.
The Whites, Colors, and Knits & Delicates cycles
provide a spray rinse during the first spin, followed by
a deep rinse and final spin.
Whites Cycle
Provides up to 15 minutes of wash agitation for most
fabrics. Power Spin provides 12 minutes of spin at a
selected speed for maximum removal of water. This
conserves energy by reducing drying time.
Extra Rinse Cycle
PERM
PRESS
PREWAS
Colors Cycle
Provides 12 minutes of wash agitation for light weight
cottons, 8 minutes of wash agitation for items with a noiron finish or 4 minutes of wash agitation for knits.
12
Soak
Use Soak to treat heavily soiled or stained items.
Soak provides 3 minutes of agitation and 12 minutes
of soaking time. The load then advances into the
Prewash portion of the cycle.
Use the amount of detergent recommended for a
normal wash cycle. If desired, use bleach or a
soaking agent for colorfast items.
The Soak water temperature is the same as the
rinse water temperature selected.
Select the Agitate/Spin Speed appropriate for the
items being soaked.
Select Wash Cycle Option OFF if advancing into
the Whites cycle is not desired.
Follow Soak with a complete wash cycle using the
normal amount of detergent.
Prewash
Use Prewash when soaking is not necessary.
Prewash helps remove protein-based stains such
as milk, grass and blood. It also helps loosen soils
before washing. Prewash provides 3 minutes of
wash agitation.
Use the amount of detergent recommended for a
normal wash cycle.
The Prewash water temperature is the same as the
wash water temperature selected. To avoid setting
protein stains, select cold water.
Select the Agitate/Spin Speed appropriate for the
items being prewashed.
Select Wash Cycle Option OFF if advancing into
the Whites cycle is not desired.
Follow Prewash with a complete wash cycle using
the normal amount of detergent.

Follow Winterizing
Instructions for
cold weather care.
Inside
Dry the washer top, the area around the lid opening,
and the underside of the lid. These areas should
always be dry before the lid is closed.
Outside
When washing is completed, wipe top and sides of
washer with a damp cloth. Turn water faucets off
to prevent pressure build-up in the hoses.
Winterizing Instructions
If the washer is stored in an area where freezing can
occur or moved in freezing temperatures, follow these
winterizing instructions to prevent damage to the washer:
1. Turn off water supply faucets.
2. Disconnect hoses from water supply and drain
water from hoses.
3. Plug electrical cord into a properly grounded
electrical outlet.
4. Add 1 gallon nontoxic recreational vehicle (RV)
antifreeze to empty wash tub. Close lid.
5. Set cycle selector knob at a spin setting. Pull out
knob and let washer spin for 1 minute to drain out
all water. Not all of the RV antifreeze will be
expelled.
6. Push in knob, unplug electrical power cord, dry tub
interior, and close lid.
7. Store washer in an upright position.
8. To remove antifreeze from washer after storage,
run empty washer through a complete cycle using
detergent. Do not add wash load.

Fill circuit
At the start of the Wash Cycle, power passes through terminals T1 and T2 (the line switch) of the timer to terminal
T16 of the timer. During the Fill Cycle, T16 is connected to terminal T17 of the timer. Terminal T17 is connected
internally in the timer to terminal T10 of the timer. Terminal T10 is connected to terminal 2 of the pressure switch.
When the tub does not have water in it, terminal 2 of the pressure switch is closed to terminal 1 of the pressure
switch. From terminal 1 of the pressure switch, power is applied to terminal T23 of the timer. Terminal T23 is
closed to terminal T22 of the timer. Terminal T22 provides two outputs, one to terminal FF of the temp switch and
the other to terminal F of the temp switch through terminal T19 of the timer.
During the wash cycle when temp switch is set to:
Hot /Cold
Contacts F to H of the temp switch are closed and power is applied to the hot solenoid.
Warm / Cold
Contacts F to H and FF to C of the temp switch are closed and power is applied to both
the hot and cold solenoids.
Cold / Cold
Contacts FF to C of the temp switch are closed and power is applied to the cold solenoid.
Warm / Warm
Contacts FF to H and FF to C of the temp switch are closed and power is applied to both
the hot and cold solenoids.
Contacts FF to C and F to D of the temp switch are closed, FF to C applies power to the
cold solenoid and F to D applies power to terminal 5 of the automatic temperature control.
The hot solenoid is then cycled as needed by power from terminal 4 of the automatic
temperature control to raise the incoming water temperature to around 70F.
Contacts F to H and F to D of the temp switch are closed, F to H applies power to the hot
solenoid and F to D applies power to terminal 5 of the automatic temperature control. The
cold solenoid is then cycled, as needed, by power from terminal 6 of the automatic
temperature control to lower the incoming water temperature to around 90F.
Contacts FF to H and F to D of the temp switch are closed, FF to H applies power to the
hot solenoid and F to D applies power to terminal 5 of the automatic temperature control.
The cold solenoid is then cycled, as needed, by power from terminal 6 of the automatic
temperature control to lower the incoming water temperature to around 90F.

Warm / Warm
Timer contact T23 swings from T22 to T24. Terminal T24 provides power through T21 to
the cold water solenoid and power to terminal C of the temp switch. With contacts FF to
H and FF to C of the temp switch closed, power is applied to the hot solenoid giving a
warm spray rinse.
Timer contact T23 swings from T24 to T22 and timer contact T22 is closed to T24. Terminal
T24 provides power through T21 to the cold water solenoid and power to terminal C of the
temp switch. With contacts FF to H and FF to C of the temp switch closed, power is
applied to the hot solenoid giving a warm rinse.

When the motor reaches approximately 80 percent of its normal run speed, the start winding centrifugal switch
opens removing power from the start winding. The run winding centrifugal switch changes from motor terminal
M6 to motor terminal M8. M8 is connected to terminal T8L of the timer. During agitation, T8L is closed to
terminal T9L of the timer that supplies power to Terminal 1 of the speed switch. If the speed switch is set to
Normal, terminal 1 of the speed switch is connected to terminal 5 of the speed switch that supplies power to
terminal T4 of the timer. Terminal T4 of the timer is connected to terminal M6 that supplies power to the high
speed run winding. If the speed switch is set to Gentle, terminal 1 of the speed switch is connected to terminal
4 of the speed switch that supply power to terminal M11 of the motor. Terminal M11 supplies power to the low
speed run winding. If the speed switch is set to Extra Gentle, terminal 1 of the speed switch is connected to
terminal 3 of the speed switch that supplies power to terminal M10 of the motor. Terminal M10 supplies power
to the extra low speed run winding.
Agitation cycle - motor running
Note: The drive motor always starts at high speed, then changes to the speed switch setting.

Note: The drive motor always starts at high speed then changes to the speed switch setting.

When the motor reaches approximately 80 percent of its normal run speed the start winding centrifugal switch
opens, removing power from the start winding. The run winding centrifugal switch changes from motor terminal
M6 to motor terminal M8. M8 is connected to terminal T8L of the timer. During spin, T8L is closed to terminal
T12 of the timer that supplies power to terminal 2 of the speed switch. If the speed switch is set to Normal/Fast
or Gentle/Fast, terminal 2 of the speed switch is connected to terminal 5 of the speed switch that supplies
power to terminal T4 of the timer. Terminal T4 of the timer is connected to terminal M6 of the motor that
supplies power to the high speed run winding. If the speed switch is set to Gentle/Slow or Extra Gentle/ Slow,
terminal 2 of the speed switch is connected to terminal 4 of the speed switch that supplies power to terminal M11
of the motor. Terminal M11 supplies power to the low speed run winding.
