Drive Train

The design uses a single direction motor, with solenoids to engage and

disengage the agitate and spin cycles and pump.

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.

Agitate Cycle

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

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.

See figure for details about opening the cabinet and console.

A wiring diagram is usually pasted to the back of the machine.
