Warning: The spring in the valve assembly
is compressed and may fly out of the dis­
penser. Depressing the plunger button
during dip removal will prevent this from
occurring.
TORSION ROD ASSEMBLY
The torsion rod assembly acts as a counter
balance when liquid detergent is in the dis­
penser. This allows for easier opening and
closing of the washer lid.
REMOVAL
1. Lift the washer lid and remove the deter­
gent reservoir.
2. Remove the center support from the tor­
sion rod by rolling the support toward you.
Slide the left retainer toward the center of
the lid and remove from behind the lid
flange (Figure 4-15).
With the left retainer removed, grasp the
lid vertically and rotate the torsion rod in
a clockwise direction away from the right
hand plastic bushing in the top cover.
DETERGENT DISPENSING
