7-1 BASIC OPERATION The design uses a reversing motor, which is belted to both the pump and the transmission, using two different belts. At times, both one-speed and two-speed motors were used. When viewed from the top, the motor turns clockwise for the agitation cycle, and counterclockwise for the spin cycle. (Figure M-1) To switch between the two cycles, there is a brake in the hub of the drive pulley, and a clutch in the transmission. During agitation, the brake keeps the transmission casing from turning, and the drive pulley turns the transmission shaft.

The Maytag Atlantis washing machine is a top-loading clothes washer. The Atlantis has an agitator that is located in the center of the wash tub. The agitator is used to move the clothes during the wash cycle, ensuring that all of the clothes are evenly laundered. The Maytag Atlantis' agitator is constructed of heavy plastic, and may break, crack or warp over time.

During the spin cycle, the brake releases and the whole transmission starts slowly spinning around. Since the basket is attached to the transmission casing, it spins, too. A clutch built into the transmission allows slippage until the basket gets up to speed. At the end of the spin cycle, the motor stops and the brake brings the basket to a stop.

In the late '80's, Maytag redesigned the transmission. The result is the 'orbital' transmission, which has just a few moving parts and is serviceable in the machine.

One is supposed to be able to replace the other directly. However, the gearing in the orbital is higher (the agitator agitates faster) so I would not replace one with the other unless absolutely unavoidable; for example, if the parts were unavailable. The motor is mounted on rollers which ride in a metal track. Springs attached to the motor mounting plate keep tension on the belts. Chrysler Employee Purchase Program Rules.
