3. Drive Train
The design uses a single direction
motor, with solenoids to engage and
disengage the agitate and spin
cycles and pump.

4. Cam Bar Action
The pin in the plunger rides in a different part of the cam bar slot than before .
Since the wigwag is constantly moving back and forth, the pin will push the cam bar
to a different position.

5. Agitate Cycle
During the agitate cycle, the agitate solenoid energizes and pushes the agitate cam bar
towards the front of the washer.

6. Spin Cycle
When the spin cycle is over, or when the washer lid
is lifted, power is removed from the solenoid. The
cam bar moves towards the front of the washer,
pushing the clutch bar and yoke upwards. The
clutch disengages and the brake engages, bringing
the basket to a rapid stop.

7. See figure for details about opening the
cabinet and console.
A wiring diagram is usually pasted
to the back of the machine.
