4. Tighten the bolt of the coupling assembly while

adjusting it to the cutter split made in the spin
shaft (Fig. 43).

1. Disconnect the plunger valve strap from the

plunger valve rod (Fig. 44).

If water leakage occurs at the spin tub after

assembling the bellows assembly and the

bellows supporter, it is wrong. It could cause

an electrical shock or a fire, therefore they

should be securely assembled again.

4-9. Plunger Valve Assembly

replacement

After removing the back cover and setting the knob
for the drain selector to "WASH - RINSE", proceed as
follows:

2. Untighten the plunger valve cover by rotating in the

direction of the arrow (Fig. 45).

3. Remove the plunger valve spring, the plunger valve

rod and the plunger valve bellows (Fig. 46).

To assemble the plunger valve assembly, reverse the
disassembly procedure.

Damage to the plunger valve cover may cause
water leakage.

When replacing the plunger valve assembly,
take care not to cause water leakage.

4-10. Vent replacement

1. Remove the plunger valve assembly.

2. If the vent is pulled downward, it can be removed.

Vent

To assemble the vent, reverse the disassembly
procedure. (Fig. 47).

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

5-1. Door Switch operation

5. ADJUSTMENT

Adjust the door switch by bending the contact so it
turns on/off when the spin dryer cover is opened 10 to
50mm in a horizontal position. (Fig. 48).

1. The brake assembly is fitted to the top of the spin

motor. The brake block is positioned to make
contact with the coupling. The brake is operated by
the brake wire assembly connected to the hinge of
the spin dryer cover.

5-2. Brake operation

2. When the spin dryer cover is raised 10 to 35

degrees, the brake should be operated and the
empty spin dryer basket should be stopped within 5
seconds.

3. When braking time is over 15 seconds, replace the

brake assembly with a new one.

After repairing the door switch system or the
brake system, perform the trial test and
check the following points.

When opening the spin dryer cover, the door
switch should be turn off before the brake block
makes contact with the coupling.
When closing the spin dryer cover, the door
switch should be turn on after the brake block
separates from the coupling.
When braking time is over 15 seconds, move the
brake strap hook to upper hole of the brake wire
plate to adjust.

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

Measure the insulation resistance; it should be
more than 10M W.

This washing machine must be properly grounded
for safety.

Check to make sure that there is no water leakage
from any of the connections.

When spinning empty, the braking time should be
less than 5 seconds.

Has grease adhered to contacts of electrical
parts?

Check for all mouse entry restriction componets
back in place.
