the right side of the door opening.
INTERLOCK SWITCHES
The front and rear interlock switches are lo-
cated immediately behind the toe and rear

grounding circuit to the drive motor and heating
element when either panel is removed for
servicing.
The assembly contains a solenoid operated
latching mechanism that will electrically lock
the door during a wash cycle.
HEATING ELEMENT &
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
A heating element is used to increase the water
temperature during certain wash cycles. The
