The water inlet valve shuts off and stops the water inlet, and the motor power is connected.

The motor starts to operate periodically, sometimes turning forward and sometimes reversing, alternating with each other. The wave wheel is driven by the clutch with the same cycle of turning forward and reversing. The wave wheel rotating at a certain speed will drive the water in the bucket and the clothes to form a rotating water flow.
