SAFETY NOTES
THIS MANUAL IS INTENDED TO BE USED BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
1. Disconnect electrical supply before servicing machine.

2. If electricity is required for a test; first, disconnect electrical supply; second, make
any connections or adjustments required for the test; third, connect electrical
supply; fourth, perform the test. If service is required, disconnect electrical supply
before servicing machine.
3. Please use caution when servicing the machine with the front panel removed
because there is danger of injury due to potential contact with spinning trans
mission.
4. Please use caution when servicing the machine with the front panel removed
because there is danger of injury due to contact with a potential "pinch point"
between the turned up edge of the transmission cover and the tub support flange.

SECTION 6. TRANSMISSION AND RELATED
COMPONENTS
This section will detail the servicing procedures on the earlier model N.G.W. trans
mission as well as those on the later model. Although many of the component parts
between the earlier model and later model transmission have been modified, the
overall function and appearance of the parts have basically remained the same.
One exception to this has been the removal of the drive block and centerpost seal
assembly from the agitator drive shaft on the later model. Also the linkage assembly
has splines formed on the agitator drive shaft. An "0" ring is installed on the shaft
just above the centerpost to provide a centerpost seal when the agitator is installed.
Throughout the section, no distinction has been made between the earlier and later
model transmissions as long as the service procedures are common to both.
However, anything of a unique nature between the models has been properly detailed
and labeled as SUCh.

opened, It broke the circuit to the hot water solenoid and shut off the water.
When water level switch contacts 1-3 closed, it provided a circuit through timer contacts 15-63, speed selector
switch contacts 64-66, timer contacts 32-9, to the motor start Winding.
If you follow the motor start winding circuit, you will find that side A (no. 4 terminal side) of the start winding will
be connected to the common side of the line; and sIde B (No.2 terminal side) will be connected to the hot side.
With these circuits made, the motor will begin to rotate In the agitate direction.
When water level switch contacts 1·3 closed, It also provided a etrcutt through timer contacts TM 15- TM 8 and
energized the timer motor.

When the driver motor started, the centrifugal switch caused both motor switch contact arms to move. The lower
one opened the motor start winding clrcutt and the upper arm moved from the 4 PM run Winding (regular speed) to
the 6 PM run winding (slow speed).
The washer will continue to agitate at regular speed for approximately 14 minutes at which point timer contacts
15-63 open and break the motor circuit.
The timer motor continues to run.

A FUNCTiON
MOTOR START-SPIN DIRECTION
As the timer advanced through the pause period, the timer contacts were repositioned for the pump out, spray,
and spin phases of the cycles.
Timer contacts 26-27, 15-63, 7-8,9-32,13-14 and 70-72 open; contacts 15-62,7-32,9-8,11-13 close, and 12-26
remains closed.
If you trace out the motor start winding circuit now, you will find that side A (no. 4 terminal side) of the start
winding connects to the hot side of the line, and side B (No.2 terminal side) connects to the common side. The
timer contacts have reversed the start winding connections and the drive motor will start to rotate in the spin
direction.

When the drive motor started, the centrifugal switch caused both motor switch contact arms to move. The lower
one opened the motor start Winding circuit and the upper arm moved from 4 PM (regular speed) run winding to the
6 PM (slow speed) run winding.
The timer Is advancing, the drive motor is running at slow spin, the basket is starting to spin, and the water is
being pumped from the tub.
Not.: When timer contacts 26-27 opened during the pause period, all power was directed through the door switch
(safety spin switch) Instead of by-passing It as before.

The cool down spray will last for approximately 1 1/2 minutes at Which point the timer contacts 13-11 open and
interrupt the circuit to the cold water solenoid, stopping they spray.
The spin portion of the cycle continues for an additional 3 1/2 minutes until timer contacts 15-62 open, breaking the
motor circuit.
After the coast down, the machine will start to fill with warm water. When filled, It will repeat the agitation. pause,
pump out and spin steps while continuing through the rinse and final spin phase.
