VEND PRICE
The required vend (price to start) can be
programmed from 5 to 995 in increments of five;
initially starting at 10 for single and dual coin drop
systems. When charging extra for hot wash, there
are two vend settings, one, cold or warm was fill
(“basic”); and two, hot wash fill. When charging
extra for hot wash, the wash fill will be hot only
when the WASH TEMPERATURE switch is set
to hot and the required hot wash vend has been
reached. The wash fill will be warm if the WASH
TEMPERTURE switch is set to hot but only the
“basic” start vend has been input. The wash fill
will start immediately when this “basic” vend is
input and will automatically switch to hot once the
total vend for hot wash has been input.
A coin slide does not have a programmable vend
price. By default, a single input on input line
number one will start the washer.
When charging extra for hot wash in coin slide
applications, the slide must provide an input on
line number one and number two.
UNBALANCED LIGHT
The control will turn on the UNBALANCED light
signifying an out-of-balance condition whenever
the loading door switch contact is opened during
any part of a cycle while the washer is spinning.
The light will turn off when the lid switch is
reclosed. Breaking the switch contact during other
times will only result in the washer stopping. If the
loading door switch contact is open, the internal
cycle timer stops until the contact is remade
except if the loading door switch contact is open
after two minutes have elapsed into the final
spin portion of any of the three cycles, the cycle
will end and the washer will become idle,
waiting for the next wash vend.
AUDIT
The control will keep track of the number of
washes and the number of times the coin switch
line is activated. Input wire leads are monitored
and the count kept continuously, however, a
washer will only start if it receives all of the
required vend after cycle completion, i.e. during
the off period.
The programmer will display audit values up to
“999” before starting back at “zero” (1000).
Reading audit values has no affect on the washer
operation. The audits are non-resettable. Subtract
the previously read audit value from the current
values to get the change in cycles or coins.
NOTE: Activating the coin switches with the
programmer attached will not immediately show an
increase in the audit values displayed. The
programmer must first be disconnected and then
reconnected in order to view any audit changes that
occur with the programmer attached.
65. POWER OUTAGE OR INTERRUPTION
The control will handle power outages of any
duration by restarting the cycle from where it was
when power went out. Programmed cycle
information and audit values remain intact.
NOTE: Power outages or the motor overload
protector cycling after two minutes into the final
spin of any cycle will cause the cycle to end and the
washer will be idle, waiting for the next wash after
the electrical power is restored.
66. PROGRAM TRANSFER
Whenever the programmer is connected to a
washer, it will store all the programmable
parameters currently in the attached washer into
its own memory. This information will remain
stored in the programmer for at least four minutes
and possibly up to 12 hours after the programmer
is removed from the washer.
If during this time the programmer is attached to
another washer, the values from the first washer
are capable of being transferred into the second
washer by pressing the PROGRAM TRANSFER
pad. The display will show “Pro” for
approximately one second.
Section 8 Service Procedures Unique to the Electronic Control Model Washers
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
• Disconnect electric power to the washer before servicing.
• Never start the washer with any guards/panels removed.
• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be
reconnected to ensure that the washer is properly grounded.
W003
If any parameters were changed in the second
washer (using MORE or LESS) before pressing
PROGRAM TRANSFER, then pressing the pad
will have no effect other than the display blanking
temporarily.
If the programmer has been unpowered long
enough so the stored parameters are not available
for transfer, pressing this pad results in the display
temporarily blanking and no transfer will occur.
IMPORTANT: Do not expose the handheld
programmer to severe conditions of heat or
moisture. Do not store in direct sunlight.
67. HANDHELD PROGRAMMER
IMPORTANT: The handheld programmer does not
have any serviceable components, therefore, it must
be replaced as a complete assembly.
The programmer, Part No. 31930, is intended to
interface with the control for three main functions:
Auditing, Diagnostics and Programming. The
programmer contains three seven-segment lighted
displays for communicating information to the
user. Refer to Figure 68. The programmer has a
plug connector at the end of a cable to connect
with the receptacle coming from the washer
control (located inside the metercase).
NOTE: If no display is visible, disconnect the
handheld programmer and then reconnect it. If
there still is no display, the washer may be
unplugged, the motor overload protector may have
cycled, or there may be a power outage.
Attaching the programmer to the washer control
will not affect the washer or any cycle currently in
progress. Making program changes while the
washer is in a cycle will cause the cycle in
progress to change only for those portions of the
cycle yet to come. Functions are activated and/or
deactivated by pressing a switchpad once to
activate and press again to deactivate. The
function is completed when the “ready” state
returns. The programmer will allow switching
from one function to another without going back
to “ready” state each time. There is one exception:
you cannot go to AUDIT or PROGRAM from
DIAGNOSTICS unless first returning to the
“ready” state. Return to the “ready” state before
disconnecting the programmer.
NOTE: When connecting the plug to the receptacle,
the wide flat on the top of the receptacle must line
up with the wide flat side on the plug. Refer to
Figure 68.
The programmer receives power from the washer
control. When the programmer is connected, the
display will show three dashes representing a
“ready” state.

69. COIN ACCEPTOR
The washer can use a coin slide, single coin drop
or dual coin drop as a coin acceptor. The washer
will connect to a switch(s) in the metercase to be
activated by a coin slide or coin drop. The control
input lead wires (located in the meter case) are
called number one, number two, and common.
Input lines are activated by closure of a normally
open coin switch.
TO WIRE A COIN ACCEPTOR
a. Input line number one (BLACK/YELLOW
wire) connect to N.O. (normally open) terminal
of the coin switch on a coin slide, single coin
drop or one switch on a dual coin drop.
b. Input line number two (ORANGE/BLUE wire)
connects to N.O. (normally open) terminal of
the extra hot charge switch on a special coin
slide, or to the other (second) coin switch on a
dual coin drop.
NOTE: When not charging extra for hot wash and
using the coin slide start kit, No. 457P3, the
ORANGE/BLUE wire will remain unused within
the meter case. Loop the end of this wire back onto
itself and tape to prevent the end of the wire from
making contact with the meter case.
c. The common line (GRAY/YELLOW wire)
connects to the COM. (common) terminal on all
switches.

Loading door MUST be CLOSED any time the
washer is to fill, agitate or spin.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of bodily injury, DO NOT
by-pass the loading door switch by
permitting the washer to agitate or spin with
the loading door open. A brake will stop the
washtub within seconds if the loading door
is opened during spinning. If the washtub
does not stop when the loading door is
opened, remove the washer from use and
call the service person.
NOTE: WATER FILL OPTION – An option exists
to allow the washer to fill with water with the
loading door open. Proceed as follows:
a. Remove the two control panel attaching screws
and lift the assembly up and out of the slots in
the cabinet top.
b. Lay the control panel (face down) on the
protective padding on top of the washer.
c. Disconnect the PINK/BLUE wire from
terminal number one on the pressure switch.

with the plastic insulator on the end of it.
e. Remove the plastic insulator from the BLACK
wire and attach the insulator to the end of the
PINK/BLUE wire removed in step three.
f. Connect the BLACK wire from step 4 to
terminal number one on the pressure switch.
g. Reinstall the control panel and reconnect the
electrical power to the washer.
h. Run the washer through a cycle to make sure
the water continues to fill when the loading
door is opened. Agitation or spinning should
not occur with the loading door open.
71. TROUBLESHOOTING ELECTRONIC
CONTROL
IMPORTANT: The procedure is intended to be used
as an aid in diagnosing potential problems with
electronic control. Refer to SECTION 3,
“Troubleshooting,” for diagnosing problems with
components other than electronic control. Refer to
Figure 70 for terminal numbers, connections and
color coding.
DIAGNOSTIC MODE
The diagnostics mode can be entered via the
keypad of the handheld programmer. Used in
conjunction with other tools by a trained service
person. The diagnostics routine will reduce the
amount of time required to locate and service the
most common problems of the washer.
Refer to the flow charts on the following pages
which correspond to the apparent problem or
symptom. Verify proper wiring as shown on the
CONNECTION DIAGRAM of the appropriate
wiring diagram. Refer to Section 11.
WARNING
Do not repair or replace any part of the
washer, or attempt any servicing unless
specifically recommended in the UserMaintenance Instructions or in published
user-repair instructions that you understand
and have the skills to carry out.

OPERATION
Pressing any of the DIAGNOSTIC switchpads
will cancel the washer cycle in progress. Pressing
AGITATE will cause the washer to go into
agitation and the WASH and RINSE status lights
to light; an “A” will be displayed.Pressing SPIN
will cause the washer to spin and the SPIN and
UNBALANCED lights to light; and “S” will be
displayed.
Whenever switching the motor on or off, or
switching between AGITATE/SPIN, there is a
required five second pause to prevent damage to
the washer components. The motor will stop; the
display will either go into the “ready” state
requiring the appropriate action switchpad to be
pressed after five seconds, or the “A” or “S” will
be displayed but the washer will pause five
seconds before starting.
Pressing either HOT WATER or COLD WATER
will cause the proper mixing valve solenoid to
operate individually or together; “H” and “C” are
displayed respectively. Water valve operation is
also possible while in either motor action. The
solenoids themselves will only operate until the
washer’s pressure switch has been satisfied.
Pressing the switchpad for an active diagnostic
function will turn it off, and if no functions are
then active the programmer will be in the “ready”
state. Opening the loading door while in
DIAGNOSTICS and the programmer attached
temporarily stops all functions until the loading
door is closed. If the programmer is removed
during any function, the function continues until
electrical power is disconnected from the washer
or the programmer is reattached, which will
cancel all diagnostics.
IMPORTANT: It is not recommended to operate
the washer for extended periods of time in a single
diagnostic mode, premature life and overheating
may result.

82. CONTROL REPLACEMENT
When a problem with the electronic control is
suspected after performing the electrical tests
discussed in the troubleshooting guide, the control
should be replaced. Due to the sensitivity of the
electronic control, careful handling is required. As
a precautionary measure, the use of a grounded
wrist strap when handling the control is
recommended. The wrist strap, cord and alligator
clip are designed to carry away any electrostatic
charge from your body and direct the charge to an
available ground. By using this static protection
device, potential electrostatic discharge problems
associated with the handling of the electronic
control will be minimized. Always handle the
electronic control by the metal edges. If a wrist
strap is not available, touch the washer while it is
plugged in before handling the control to dissipate
any charge.
To replace the control, first unplug the washer.
Remove all of the wires connected to the control
and remove the attaching hardware from control
bracket securing assembly to washer. When
removing wires from the control, hold down on
the board near the appropriate terminal and
disconnect the wires using a pliers. Do not pull on
wires.
The new control is supplied in a special anti-static
foam carton. While holding the metal edges,
remove the control from the foam wrapping. Place
the inoperative control on the foam. Before
positioning the new control in the control hood,
remove the pressure switch from the old assembly
and mount on the control bracket. When installing
the complete control assembly, insert the
mounting tab in the appropriate hole and securely
fasten with mounting hardware. Following the
wiring diagram, reconnect the wires to the new
control. Do not press on electronic components or
bend the terminals on the control.
It is important to take care when handling the
original control. It must be carefully placed in the
anti-static foam carton. A copy of the replacement
report, shown on Page 99, must be completely
filled out and returned with the control. Warranty
credit will be issued only if the control is handled
and packaged properly.
