Abstract

A spin drum assembly (1) for a washing machine. The spin drum assembly includes a door pivotally mounted to a spin drum (40). The spin drum has a generally cylindrical side wall (44) with opposing ends. The side wall defines an access opening for loading items into the spin drum. A pair of end caps (50,50') are respectively joined to the opposing ends of the side wall. The end caps each have an outwardly-extending shaft. The door (90) has a panel (92) with a pair of arms (96) extending away therefrom. The panel is arcuately shaped so as to wrap around a portion of the spin drum. The arms are respectively disposed over the end caps and are pivotally mounted to the shafts so as to permit the door to pivot between a closed position, wherein the panel covers the access opening, and an open position, wherein the panel is spaced from the access opening.
