The valve assemblies allow water into the tub and release the various laundry products in the dispenser. Hot water enters only through the main wash compartment. Cold water is directed by the remaining solenoids to dispense the various laundry products. Water release may vary, depending upon the machine and the piping.
(See the dispenser section.)
(Different models use different valve arrays. Order by model number and serial number. This diagram and valve array is used as an example only.)
The solenoids can be checked in TEST MODE. Use a multimeter to verify that each solenoid is receiving 120 VAC during the TEST MODE. Also verify that the proper valve is dispensing water to the appropriate dispenser compartment. This procedure can also be used to determine that the valves are connected correctly and the hoses are routed to the appropriate compartments after a repair is complete.
For all solenoids: With the solenoid connected and energized, the voltage should be 120 VAC. With the connector removed from the solenoid, the resistance should be 1.0 ohms ± 20%. |
