Section 2 Introduction

General

This frontload washer provides some of the same principles of operation as the typical topload washers. It senses water level, it dispenses the desired laundry detergent, agitates the clothes for good cleaning action, pumps the water out of the washer and spins the clothing in preparation for the dryer.

The difference in operation is primarily the rotational washing agitation created for the horizontal basket and drum. This agitation tumbles the clothes in a clockwise, pause, and counter-clockwise direction. This reversing tumbling action provides an efficient washing process and requires less water.

The cycle begins by pressing the start button, which locks the loading door after the vend is satisfied. The type of cycle and water temperature are determined by the temperature selector switch and the cycle select switch.

The inner basket starts agitating during the wash water fill. A column of air is trapped in a pressure bulb and hose. The air pressure continues to increase as the inner basket fills with water until it is great enough to activate the pressure switch which then causes the wash fill to stop.

The regular and perm press agitate cycle tumble the clothing in a clockwise direction for a period of 15 seconds, pauses for nine seconds and then tumbles the clothing in a counterclockwise direction for 15 seconds. This agitation continues until the wash soak cycle. The machine stops agitating and turns on the pump which removes the wash water.

Upon completion of the wash cycle, the machine goes into two rinse cycles. Fresh cold water is brought into the inner basket via the mixing valve until the pressure switch shuts off the water while agitating. The rinse cycle consists of agitation for a predetermined amount of time, then a spin mode with the pump running while the machine goes into a series of 4 short 500 RPM spins.

NOTE: Washer may not reach 1000 RPM because of an out-of balance condition. Control may limit speed to 850, 650 or 500 RPM depending on severity of out-of-balance condition.

Technical

The basic operational system of this washer consists of the control, temperature switch, inverter control, pressure switch, water valves, electric pump, A.C. motor and cycle select switch.

The control performs all timing functions like the timer in a topload washer.

The inverter control uses a speed sensor on the motor to measure the drum RPM. Before entering any spin step, the inverter control measures the RPM of motor to sense out-of-balance. The inverter control will try to redistribute the clothes if an out-of-balance condition exists; the inverter control will limit the spin speed to several speeds depending on the severity of the out-ofbalance condition. If the out-of-balance condition is severe enough, the inverter control will limit speed to 90 RPM and will not spin.

NOTE: An additional out-of-balance switch is used to detect any out-of-balance condition during spins. If this switch opens during a spin step, the inverter control immediately stops and then restarts the spin.

After all the rinse cycles have been completed, the washer goes into a final high spin cycle to extract as much water as possible from the clothing to prepare them for the dryer. The spin speeds and duration of this final high spin cycle are determined by the type of wash cycle selected (refer to table).

Troubleshooting

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.

• Motor not grounded! Disconnect electric power before servicing motor.

2. TROUBLESHOOTING KNOCKING NOISE

If a frontload washer produces a noise similar to a knock on a door, it might be due to a flat spot on the belt. The knocking sound is made when the flat spot hits the pulley. The knocking may occur during a pulse spin and fade after reaching a higher RPM.

Windings:

Terminals 1–2, 2–3, 1-3 Approx. 4.5 ohms

To correct this condition, replace the belt. Refer to Paragraph 31.

Section 3 Troubleshooting

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.

• Motor not grounded! Disconnect electric power before servicing motor.

3. ERROR CODE LISTING Error Conditions

If any of the following errors occur, the control enters Error Mode. For all fatal errors, the control will terminate the current cycle, turn off all outputs, and flash two LEDs one second on/one second off to indicate the error.

W485

Motor Failure Error.

Fill Error.

Door Open Error.

Door Lock/Unlock Error.

If the control receives the motor failure signal from the motor control, the control will enter Error Mode. The control will turn off all outputs and flash the DOOR and FINAL SPIN LEDs one second on/one second off to indicate a motor failure error. This is a fatal error. The machine must be unpowered to clear this error.

If the control receives no full input from the pressure switch indicating the cylinder is full within 30 minutes of starting the fill, the control will enter Error Mode. The control will turn off all outputs and flash the WASH and DOOR LEDs one second on/one second off to indicate a fill error. This is a fatal error. The machine must be unpowered to clear this error.

If the control senses the door open during Run Mode, the control will enter Error Mode. The control will turn off all outputs and flash the WASH and RINSE LEDs one second on/one second off to indicate a door open error. This is a fatal error. The machine must be unpowered to clear this error.

If the door doesn’t lock in 15 seconds in Door Locking Mode or the door doesn’t unlock in 3 minutes in Door Unlocking Mode, the control will enter Door Lock Error Mode. The control will turn off all outputs and flash the DOOR LED one second on/one second off to indicate a door lock/unlock error.

To clear this error in Door Locked Mode the door must either open or lock. If the door locks, the cycle will start normally. If the door opens, the control will revert back to Start Mode.

To clear this error in Door Unlocking Mode the door must unlock or open. If the door unlocks or opens, the control will enter End of Cycle Mode.

SPI Communications Error.

This error occurs when there is a problem with communications between the front-end control and the motor control. The control will turn off all outputs and flash the FINAL SPIN and RINSE LEDs one second on/one second off to indicate an SPI communications error. This is a fatal error. The machine must be powered down at this point.

Open/Shorted Temperature Sensor Error (Models equipped with heater)

Any time the control senses a temperature less than 32°F (0°C) or greater than 212°F (100°C) while heating, the control will turn off the heater output and not attempt to heat. The control will continue and finish the cycle normally. At the end of the cycle the control will flash the HEATING LED one-second on/one second off to indicate an open/ shorted temperature sensor error. This error will be cleared when the door is opened at the end of the cycle.
