LOCKING RING, ELEMENT PLATE & MOTOR ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
- Remove the wiring cover and disconnect and remove the tub.
- Unplug the motor wiring harness from the electronic controller.
- While lifting the tab on the locking ring as shown, rotate the ring anti-clockwise until it comes free of tub tabs.
- Take care not to damage any motor wiring as the locking ring is turned (refer picture).
- This also releases the motor housing from the locking ring.
- Holding the pump housing on the motor assembly lift the locking ring, heating plate and motor clear of the tub.
- The suction pipe of the drain molding will slide out of the tub drain area.
- You may now lift the locking ring clear of the motor assembly. This will allow the heater plate and motor assembly to come apart
- Be careful of the two large ‘O’ rings which seal between the motor assembly and heater plate and the heater plate and tub, these and the tub sealing area must be clean and put in the correct place before reassembly takes place.
- Check both the drain cuff ‘O’ ring and suction pipe ‘O’ ring for deformation and damage. Lubricate and if necessary replace ‘O’ rings before reassembly.
- Reassemble in reverse manner ensuring all locking ring tabs are engaged.
LID REMOVAL
- On the right-hand side of the lid release the two tabs that clip the lid to the yoke. Repeat for the left-hand side.
- The lid is now free to slide out of the chassis.
- Refit in the reverse manner taking care that the lid is fitted the correct way around. The front is indicated on the top of the lid.
YOKE REMOVAL
- Release the lid actuator connecting arm from the bottom of the yoke by squeezing the two tabs towards each other.
- Slide the front of the yoke downwards at an angle until it moves out of the track in the rear of the trim, and is clear of the chassis flange.
- Refit in the reverse manner taking care that the yoke is the correct way around.
LID ACTUATOR REMOVAL
- For top tub lid actuators the bottom tub must also be removed to gain access to the lid actuator wiring harness.
- Release the lid actuator connecting arm from the bottom of the yoke by squeezing the two tabs towards each other.
- Remove the cover from the chassis module as explained in
- Disconnect the appropriate lid actuator wiring harness from the chassis circuit board and unclip the wiring harness back to the lid actuator.
- For a right-hand lid actuator carefully release the clip at the back of the lid actuator and slide the lid actuator towards the rear of the chassis to release it from the slide rail.
- For a left-hand lid actuator the clip is at the front of the lid actuator and once released the lid actuator will slide towards the front of the chassis to release it from the slide rail.
- The lid actuator can now be removed.
- When reconnecting a lid actuator to a yoke it is recommended to have the lid and yoke assembly pushed hard up against the upper stops. To line up correctly, the lid actuator connecting arm screw may need to be wound up or down manually prior to clipping to the yoke. Care needs to be taken when working on a lower tub that the lid and yoke assembly don’t accidentally get fitted above the upper stops. Note; it is important that all the clips on the lid actuator case are done up and that none are broken.
SIDE RAIL REPLACEMENT
- Remove the lid actuator from the slide rail as per instructions.
- Bottom slide rails only. The lower plastic chassis trim must be removed to gain access to the screws securing the front of the slide rail. Remove the two hex drive screws securing the slide runner at the front.
- Tap the slide rails from underneath at the front. This will knock the slide rail up and free from its location in the chassis.
- The slide runner may now be pulled forward to release it from its location in the rear of the chassis.
