3 - 1 THEOR Y OF OPERA TION INTRODUCTION The and Front-Loading Automatic W ashers present a number of new features and operating characteristics quite different from previous models.
3 - 2 The dispenser drawer has four separate compartments for adding laundry products to the wash load. These compart- ments are: 1. Prewash Detergent Compartment 2 .
3 - 3 Pressure Switch The pressure switch is located in the top right rear corner of the washer . (Fig. 3-7) This switch senses water level in the wash tub. The control signal from the pressure switch is sent to the Central Control Unit and is used to determine the amount of water introduced into the wash tub during the wash cycle.
3 - 4 CYCLE DESCRIPTION Sanitary Use this cycle to clean heavily soiled colorfast fabrics. This cycle combines a very hot water tempera- ture and fast speed tumbling to help ensure the removal of heavy soils and stains. It is recommended that you set your hot water heater to 120º F (49º C) to ensure proper performance during this cycle.
3 - 5 Soak Use the Soak cycle to remove small spots of set-in stains on fabrics. This cycle provides a soak time with warm or cold water followed by drain. Extra water , a short tumbling phase for equal distribution of the laundry , and a soaking time without basket movement improve the removal of set-in stains.

6 - 1 DIAGNOSIS & TROUBLESHOOTING SUDS DETECTION During Drain Routine During the Drain Routine, the water level is checked continuously. Normal drain will occur until the pressure switch senses no water in the wash tub and there is no foam (suds).
6 - 2 DOOR LOCKING AND UNLOCKING Locking The Door Locking Routine will only start if the door is securely closed and the Door Switch Contact is CLOSED. 1 . The Door Lock Relay is energized whenever a wash cycle is started. The relay is operated for 40 milliseconds.
6 - 3 Unbalance Detection Routine The unbalance detection routine occurs during the distribution ramp (while basket spin is accelerat- ing from 40 to 400 rpm). At 400 rpm the motor is decelerated and the rate of deceleration is moni- tored by the CCU.
6 - 4 ERROR CODES DISPLAY EXPLANATION AND RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE No water detected entering machine or Pressure switch trip not detected. If after 30 seconds the control does not detect water entering machine and then valves will be turned off and the error code will be displayed.
6 - 5 ERROR CODES DISPLAY EXPLANATION AND RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE Drive Motor Tachometer Error The control is unable to properly detect motor speed and the machine will shut down. If a failure occurs during high-speed spin the door will be unlocked after 3 minutes.
6 - 6 Serial Communication Error Communication between the Central Control Unit (CCU) and the Motor Control Unit (MCU) cannot be sent correctly. Potential Causes • Check Wire Harness connections to .
6 - 7 Potential Causes • If too much detergent was used, run the unit through a Rinse/ Spin cycle then a Normal cycle without adding any detergent. This should clear the unit of the excess detergent.
