                                   The lid lock striker slides into the lid
                                   lock/switch assembly. When a cycle is
                                   started the lock assembly engages with
                                   the striker preventing the lid from opening
                                   during the cycle.

                             The latch has spring tension on it to keep it

                                   The lid lock and switch are together in
                                   one part. It requires 120 VAC to activate
                                   the lock.

                                   The approximate resistance of the lock
                                   coil is 70 ohm from Blue – Black from
                                   J513 board connector (at Lid Lock closed
                                   position)

                                   Checking between Black and White wires
                                   at the same board connector will show the

                                         thermistor can be accessed and
                                         remove.

                                         It is pushed into the dispenser box
                                         and held in place by the water valve
                                         and is sealed with an O-ring.

                                         Remove thermistor by pulling up on
                                         lip of thermistor. Ensure O-ring is

Platform Transmission Assembly

                                        The platform transmission
                                        assembly is one complete part with
                                        the exception of two harness
                                        connector brackets and one motor
                                        splash guard. These will need to be
                                        transferred to the new platform
                                        assembly when replacing the
                                        platform transmission assembly.

                                        The platform assembly is secured
                                        to the tub by nine 3/8th in. hex head
                                        bolts circled. One of these bolts
                                        also holds one of the harness
                                        brackets to the platform.

                                      To remove the platform assembly
                                      after all other components have been
                                      removed, remove the nine 3/8th in.
                                      hex head bolts and pull the platform
                                      away from the tub.

                                      Note.- The bottom of the tub can be
                                      used to pry the platform transmission
                                      assembly off of the tub.

                                      The tub seal is pressed on to the
                                      platform transmission assembly. If
                                      there is a leak from the seal, the
                                      complete transmission will need to be
                                      replaced.

Platform Transmission Assembly

                                                     To reinstall the platform assembly
                                                     to the tub, slide the shaft of the
                                                     transmission into the opening of the
                                                     tub.

                                                     Press the tub seal into the tub
                                                     opening.

                                                     Note.- Line the guide post with the
                                                     opening in the platform.

                                                     Tighten the nine hex head bolts in
                                                     a crisscross pattern so that the seal
                                                     is pulled into the tub evenly and
                                                     securely

This is done by tightening each bolt about ¼ of the way in at a time.

Torque to 70 in-lbs.
