this pic shows the

bleed off tube that runs from the central filling port to a seperate container on the back of washer. this gives a variable metered fill to the solid tub washer.

here is the metered fill

container after i removed it from washer. water runs into it, filling it up till it activates the variable fill pressure switch on the control panel just like a perforated tub washer uses.

a small tube runs from this control panel switch down to this container.

water enters this container at the top left thru that funnel shaped entrance port.

Hey Pete, best of luck with your solid tub SQ.

Sorry I missed you last week when I was at the HD.

when the washer

drains this solonoid kicks in opening a small drain flapper on the bottom of this container, draining it into the outer tub of the washer.

this flapper valve was clogged with sediment causing it not to seat, hence keeping the metering container from fill up during fills, stopping washer from going in it's wash phase no matter how long it filled!

this was easily cleaned and it now works perfectly!

here it is mounted back on the

left back side of the washer after i did the cleaning and painting of the machine this spring.

you can see the outer tub has been painted and also note the small drain hose on the bottom that drains this container into the outer tub during drain/spin phases.
