If water leakage occures at the spin tub after assem-
bling the bellows assembly and the bellows supporter,
it colud cause an electrical shock or a fire, therefore
they should be securely assembled again.

After removing the back cover, refer to the figure and
proceed as follows :

(1) Disconnect the plunger valve strap from the rod.
(2) Unscrew and remove the screws fastening the

plunger valve cover. (fig.41)

(3) Push 4 hooks to the inside and pull out the plunger

valve cover. (fig.41)

When removing the plunger valve cover, do not use a
screw driver or pliers, etc.,
Damage to the plunger valve cover may cause water
leakage.

After removing the back cover, refer to the figure and
proceed as follows :

(1) Disconnect the lead wires of the drain pump

assembly.

(2) Disconnect all hoses(drain hose-D and Drain hose-

C) from the drain pump assembly. (fig.42)

Fig.41

To assemble the plunger valve case, reverse the
above disassembly.

When replacing the plunger valve case, take care not
to damage and cause water leakage.

(3) Lay the washing machine on its front side on a

blanket or cardboard.

(4) Hold the drain pump assembly and remove the

screws fastening the drain pump assembly from the
base bottom. (fig.43)

(1) Open the spin dryer cover and the safety cover-2

and pull off the safety cover-1

(2) If the vent is pulled upward, it can be removed.
     (fig. 44)

Adjust the belt tension by adjusting 2 bolts for the wash

motor that the length “ ” be 90~100mm. when you
grasp it with your fingers.

To assemble the vent, reverse the disassembly
procrdure.

If the vent is not inserted correctly, water will flow back
into the spin tub, and a normal spin is impossible.

Adjust the door switch by bending the contact so it
turns on/off when the spin dryer cover is raised 5 to 20
degree in a hirizontal position.

The brake assembly is fitted to the top of the spin
motor with 3 screws. The brake shoe is positioned to
make contact with the coupling located between the
spin dryer basket and the spin motor. The brake is
operated by the brake wire assembly connected to the
brake wire hanger.

When the spin dryer cover is raised 20 to 35 degrees in
a horizontal position, the brake is activated and the
empty spin dryer basket should stop within 5 seconds.

(1) If the empty spin dryer basket stops over 10 sec-

onds, unscrew the brake wire screw, pull up the
brake wire supporter and then tighten the brake
wire screw.

(2) If the spin dryer basket stops too fast, unscrew the

brake wire screw, pull down the brake wire
supporter and then tighten brake wire screw.

Models equipped for dual voltage can be adjusted to operated  on a power supply of either 110 (or 127) V or
220 volts. However, in order to avoid the danger of fire and prevent damage to the washing machine, the
voltage setting must match the voltage of your power supply. The voltage set at the factory is indicated on
the “Present Voltage” label on the back of the washing machine. To change the voltage setting, follow the
procedure that follows :

(1) Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet by grasping the plug itself.
(2) Use a screwdriver to remove the back cover from the washing machine. (fig. a)
(3) Remove the vinyl bag covering the lead wire housing. (fig.b)
(4) To change the voltage setting from 220V to 110 (or 127) V, disconnect the housing marked “220 V” and connect

the housing marked “110 (or 127) V”, to change the voltage setting from 110 (or 127 )V to 220 V, disconnect the
housing marked “110 (or 127) V” and connect the housing marked “220 V”. (fig.c)

(5) Cover the housing with the vinyl bag and reattach the back cover.
(6) Be sure to indicated the new voltage setting on the “Present Voltage” label for future reference.

After repairing, perform the trial test and check the following points.

(1) Measure the insulation resistance. It should be more than 1 MΩ.
(2) This washing machine must be properly grounded for safety.
(3) Check to make sure that there is no water leakage from any of the connections.
(4) When spinning empty, the braking  time should be less than 5 seconds.
(5) Is not grease adhered to contacts of electrical parts?
