CATALYST CLEANING™ uses laundry detergent in a unique way. Water flushes the detergent from
the dispenser to dissolve the detergent. Then the concentrated detergent mixture is sprayed on to the
load while the washer spins at low speed.
CATALYST CLEANING™ will last one to five minutes, depending on the cycle selected. The washer
then stops spinning and fills to the selected water level and continues washing with the selected cycle.

atalyst Cleaning™
CATALYST CLEANING™ allows detergent to soak and penetrate the
entire load giving improved stain and soil removal.

BLEACHVENTURI

The bleach venturi causes a siphoning action to
draw bleach from the bleach dispenser. Water
passing across the venturi opening creates a low
pressureareabehindtheventuripullingthebleach

The Out of Balance Switch controls the motor operation during the Catalyst Cleaning portion of the
cycle,as wellas duringthe spin. If an out of balance condition occurs during Catalyst Clean, the motor
circuit is interrupted. The motor will stop momentarily to allow the load to settle, then restart. If the Out
of Balance Switch is actuated four times, the Electronic Control will skip the Catalyst Clean cycle and
jump to the wash increment.
If an out of balance condition occurs during spin,
the motor circuit will again be interrupted
momentarily to allow the load to settle. If the Out
of Balance switch is actuated four times during
the spin cycle, the cycle will stop and the control
will display “OB”.
Thewater level transducer islocated at theleft end ofthe console area andis used toregulate the level
of wash and rinse water in the tub. The electronic pressure transducer converts air pressure created
in the pressure dome to a low voltage square wave signal. The microcomputer on the control board
reads the signal directly. The microcomputer then translates the frequency into inches of water. This
is then compared to the setting selected by the user during the wash cycle.
The transducer also contains a mechanical overfill switch in the same transducer body. This operates
the same as the standard pressure switch. The overfill operates (opens) when the water level in the
tub is beyond the standard high fill level (flood level).

BALANCERING
The Balance Ring is a special dual chambered ring with the traditional water ballast in the top chamber
and an oil charge with steel balls in the lower chamber. The additional ballast is required to counteract
the clothing load during the Catalyst Cleaning mode.
The ring is attached to the spin basket and is not available as a separate component.
The oil chamber contains approximately 320 cc of oil and should be treated as any other oil when
disposal becomes necessary.
