PUMP ASSEMBLY
The pump is rated at 80 watts and mounts
identically to the pump used in the
MAH3000 washer. The pressure switch
mounting bracket is a molded part of the
pump housing. For removal instructions,
see page 6-4 in the 16008373 manual.
HEATER ASSEMBLY
The 1000 watt heater is located in the tub
cover below the door openning and above
the sump area of the washer. A thermistor
on the heater regulates the temperature of
the heater to maintain proper water tem-
perature when selected. The heater is
secured to the tub cover by means of
rubber compression. An inner mounting
plate is located opposite of the external
mounting plate with a layer of rubber
between. When the nut is secured, the
rubber is compressed and expands to seal
the heater entry hole in the tub cover.
Heater resistance is 14 ohms.
