9D-HL-14768-Gerry ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A drive arrangement is disclosed for producing oscillation of a washing machine agitator and rotation of the basket for the spin cycle. The arrangement consists of a DC motor having an oscillating mode and a unidirectional rotation mode, the motor driving a mechan- ically shifted transmission, including a planetary gear set driving the washing machine agitator during the oscillation mode of the motor. A gear case is clutched to the washing machine basket during the spin cycle to produce direct drive of the basket during unidirectional rota- tion of the motor. The transmission shifter arrangement is operated by an incremental rotation of the drive motor which causes a cam follower- shifter member to be axially displaced from a neutral position to produce either a spin or agitate drive condition of the transmission. A dynamic braking arrangement of the washing machine drive motor is provided by switching in a load across motor armature leads to cause braking of the agitator and basket spin whenever the drive motor is not energized.
