As the tub fills with water, the basket begins to
float and to rise. The spfined hub components
now
separate, and
allow
the basket to move
independently of the drive shaft.

Mechanism-Since
this
washer
does not
utilize
a
brake,
a
lid
lock
is
used to
prevent
access
during the spin cycles. During
the drain and spin portions of the
cycfe,
a
lid
--
lock mechanism will
tock
the
lid.
The
lid
locks
are based
on
cyc!e phase.
In
general, the iid
locks
when the basket spins greater than
23
rpm. After main wash, the
lid
is
locked, and
remains
locked until the end
of
the cycle. The
lid
must
be
closed
for the machine to
fill,
wash,
drain, or spin. Magnets
in
the washer lid
close
a
reed switch in the
lid
lock. This acts
as
the
lid
switch.
