AUTO LOAD DETECTION

The auto load detection system on the classic washer system has a control that will sense the load in a washing machine to provide the required amount of water during ll and rinse. This control will interface with a new ow meter, the current ATC combo switch, and the timer as required during a cycle. The new control will provide consumer benets of new energy saving water options.

The auto load detection control is the Fabric Softener Switch. If Softener Added is selected the unit will give a full sized ll in the rinse cycle. If No Softener Added is selected, the rinse ll will be measured. This system will replace the current pressure switch. During the rst ll, the water will enter to a low level, then agitate for 10 seconds. This is to assure that all of the clothing becomes saturated. The Load sensing control will analyze the adjusting information from the ow meter and the pressure sensor to then ll to a proper level. The second ll will ll by volume, measured by the ow meter. The Accessory Plug is a test point for the factory. All failures default to high water levels.

AUTO LOAD DETECTION (continued)

Besides the thermistor, the ll valve assembly has a dual check valve since there is no water inlet air gap.

Water enters directly into the tub ring through three spray outlets.
