Serial # Label

The serial # label, located on the rear of the washer, shows necessary warranty information.

Serial #

label

• Model # - “WFR2460UC/01”.

• Serial # - “FD 8108”. To find when the product type

was built, add 20 to the 1st two digits to get the year (81 + 20 = 101 Æ product type was built in 2001). The last two digits show the month (08 = August).

Factory serial # - Can convert

factory serial # to FD # for warranty use. 1st 2 digits show factory # (45 = Berlin), 3rd digit shows year (1 = 2001), 4th & 5th digits show month built (08 = August). So, serial # starting with “45108…000320” = washer built @ Berlin with FD 8108 700032.

Operation

1A. Load Sensor (WFL2060UC)

At a predefined points during the initial fill, the washer determines if it needs more water using a pressure switch. This is due to differences in the absorption of the laundry and the size of the loads.

1B. Dynamic Load Sensor (WFR2460UC)

During the entire fill the washer continually adjusts for the size of the load and determines if more water is needed using an analog pressure switch and a flow meter.

2. Digital Temperature Sensor (WFL2060UC & WFR2460UC)

The thermostat monitors the temperature of the water and controls the length of time the heating element is on, ensuring the proper temperature for the chosen cycle.

3A. Suds Sensor (WFL2060UC)

During the beginning of the1st rinse/spin phase, the washer determines if there are excessive suds and automatically adds 2 rinses (if necessary). This is accomplished via the pressure switch and the motor synchronization system.

Sensors (1)

3B. Continuous Suds Sensor (WFR2460UC)

Checking the pumping out phase of the main wash, the beginning of the 1st rinse/spin phase and the actual spin speed vs. the programmed spin speed, the washer determines if there are excessive suds and automatically adds up to 2 rinses (if necessary). This is accomplished via the pressure switch, analog pressure switch and the motor synchronization system.

4. Unbalanced Load Sensor (WFL2060UC & WFR2460UC)

During the final spin cycle the washer monitors the positioning and balance of the load. If the load unbalanced, the washer stops and adjusts the load up to 15 times and reduces the spin speed to finish the cycle. This is accomplished via the motor synchronization system.

1A/1B. Load & Dynamic Load Sensors

Mechanical Pressure Switch - (WFL 2060UC & WFR 2460 UC) measures the water

level after the first fill. If the water level is high (like for smaller loads), the pressure increases and the pressure switch does not provide more water.

Analog Pressure Switch - (WFR 2460UC)

• Precise measuring of actual water level

• Accurate load detection

• Control of the pump -noise reduction

¾ Exact monitoring of water inflow. ¾ Ensures exact control of water inlet valves so that there is always the right amount of

water for wash and rinse cycles.

¾ Together with the pressure switch, there is a continuous adjustment of wash time,

water and energy in relation to the load size.

¾ The flow meter works independently of water pressure.

CAUTION: To avoid danger of electrical

SALES DEMO MODE PROCEDURE: Preparing WFR2460 washers for display involves removing three shipping bolts and

disconnecting the drain pump. To set up WFR2460 washers for display:

Conversion: Make sure the was her i s unplugged and is not connected to any water lines.

1. Remove the three shipping bolts from the washer back panel, removing t he top bolt last. Eac h bolt has an insert wed ging up to the inside of the back panel. When removing bolts, loosen them, then move them (up, left or right) until they slide out the large circular holes (matching the insert sizes). Don’t unscrew shipping bolts completely so inserts won’t drop into the washer base. After removing bolts, cover th e holes with white caps included with th e washer.

2. To access the white (or gray) drain pump connector from the back of the washer, remove the back panel by removing (7) T-20 & (4) T-30 Torx screws. Pull the white (or gray) drain pump connector to remove it, then secure the loose connector away from the frame or any washer parts with electrical tape (to avoid possibility of electrical shock).

3. Replace the back panel, then attach the fuscia label to the rear of the washer so its visible.

Power hook-up: Plug the washer into a 120V/240V transformer, then plug the transformer into a 120V, 15A power outlet. Using demo mode: Rotate the cycle selector knob to the “Spin” position and then push the “Start” button to perform a complete
