14. INTRODUCTION
MODEL: GWL11 Ecosmart
This Service Supplement contains information on the Product Specifications, Diagnostic
Mode and the Detailed Fault Codes for Phases 4, 5 and 6, being Series 8, 10 and Series
11 machines respectively.
14.1 Electronics
The electronics for Series 11 are air-cooled in the same way as the Phase 5 (series 10)
machine. This has changed from being water cooled as in earlier models. This has been
made possible by changes to the stator winding which allows a lower current through the
electronics and the use of the latest low loss, semi-conductor-switching device.
Electronic modules are not inter-changeable between models. The different modules for
the different models can be identified by their colour. L03 (green), L08 phase 4 modules
(yellow) and L10, phase 5 GW modules are grey. The new L11, phase 6 modules, GW
are coloured brown.
GW p/n 420094,
It is important not to mix the different coloured modules as they are not compatible
and the washing machine will not work.
The latest module is similar to the series 10 module. The difference is that the terminals
are pushed on sideways at the top of the module.
The Series 11 module now has a 7 position connection for the display and a 4 position
connection for the Lid Lock / OOB.
14.2 Stand by mode
If a Series 11 machine has not received any instructions for 10 to 15 minutes after being
switched on at the power point or after completing the cycle, it will automatically go into a
low power Stand By mode, same as the Series 10 Smart Drive. Before entering the
Diagnostic or Option Adjustment modes, the machine must be taken out of the Stand By
mode. To do this, the power button will have to be pressed on and off or the machine
turned off and on at the power point.

14.3 Water Temperature Sensing
The thermistor for sensing water temperature in the ecosmart is located in the inlet
chamber and is available as a separate spare part under part number 479164P. See
specifications for the temperature / resistance readings.
14.4 Water Valves
The Series 11 machines use different water valves to the Series 8 and 10 machines. The
valves are essentially the same (24 volts) but now have US standard threads which are
not interchangeable with previous models of Smart Drive washing machines, especially
the early LO3’s which are 12V with posilock connectors.
It is suggested when replacing a valve to use the same part number or superseded
number, leaking may occur if unlike threads are attached to inlet hoses.
The terminals are the “RAST 2.5” system. Extra care must be taken to ensure these
connections are plugged in squarely to avoid damage to the terminals.
There are two types of coil orientations possible on these valves, however the fittings are
identical. When removing the harness plug from the valve, a small retaining clip must be
released. The series 8 and 10 machines have these valves with the retaining clip located
on the solenoid behind the plug. Harness removal is a blind action.
14.5 Stator
The stator resistance of the Phase 6 is 16 ohms per phase, same as the previous
phase 5, which changed to allow for a lower current through the electronics. This stator is
not interchangeable with the previous models and can be identified by smaller terminal
connections. The rotor has not changed and can be used for all models of Smart Drive.

14.4 Pump
The pump now uses a vortex impellor, which reduces the operating sound levels at the
end of the drain cycle. The new pump is a dedicated 110V 60Hz Selni pump. The way the
pump is controlled has changed. During the drain cycle the pump is stopped and started
quickly every 10 / 15 seconds.
The pulsing on and off of the drain pump only occurs when the basket is afloated.
Changing the factory setting.
Pulsing can be turned off if a higher head height is required (7 feet max), however the
possibility of pump blockage and Suds lock increases, which inturn affects the required
head height.
Enter “SIZE SETTING” mode (TEMP UP and POWER) this should be familiar when
changing modules and or displays.
The REGULAR cycle button toggles between having this feature disabled or enabled.
The REG LED shows the current status, when the LED is on in this mode the pulsing is
disabled. No other settings will be affected by this change and the setting will be saved in
eeprom. Power off in the same manner as with size setting to retain the setting.
If dual pumps were to be fitted, this feature should be used where the intermediate head
height is above 5 feet. The pulsing function is most effective in standard head height
situations (up to 6 feet).
Note:
If the pump has blocked/jammed and the thermal overload has gone open circuit, just
remove the blockage from the pump. The module and the pump should still be okay. If
the pump windings are water damaged, the pump will quickly overheat and cut off again.
The pump must be replaced in this case. (If the pump shorted to earth, it is possible that
the module could short out on series 10 machines). Series 11 should not have this
problem. The pump is not powered through the motor controller as with the phase 5
products. Series 11 phase 6 machines do not utilise the pump to dump energy. This
change also reduces the potential for failure.
It is important to check the pump windings thoroughly for water damage. It is possible for
the resistance of a water-damaged pump to be normal, however the inductance of the
pump can change causing it to overheat and cut out. There are new fault codes in the
system that now relate to the pump circuit and it’s extended function.

14.7 Lid-Lock
On the Series 11 Smartdrive there is now a lid lock.
During the spin and drain out part of the cycle prior to
spray rinsing, the lid will lock down until the completion
of the spin. Once the spin has completed, the lock will
release and the lid can be opened. The Lid Lock LED
will illuminate when locked.
If the lid lock fails in the closed position the removal process is as follows:
The locked lid can be lifted on the sides enough to allow the lid buffers to be removed.
This will allow the screws holding down the top deck to be unscrewed. The top deck can
then be lifted up, removing the lid lock screw will allow the lid lock housing to be replaced.
Replacement part number is 420036P. Un-clip the clear cap from the housing and
disconnect the Rast connection. Clip the new housing in and re-assemble.
If the harness is damaged, replacing it requires the following method.
Remove the lid from the top deck assembly. The Console will then need to be removed to
access the wiring connection to the motor controller if the wiring loom is replaced. This
harness is also part of the harness to the OOB switch and the motor controller will need to
be lifted to remove and replace it. Remember to secure the wire into the retainers under
the top deck, or damage may occur during operation.
Note:
If the power supply is cut during the spin cycle, the machine will keep the lid locked until
the rotor has ceased to turn (3 to 15 secs). Only then will it release the lock, the motor is
acting like a generator and allows the lock to stay energised under the baskets inertia via
the motor controller. In a brown out situation the machine will restart at the start of
whatever cycle it was doing and continue the wash. The lid lock would then be reactivated
if it happened to be on a spin cycle.
15. SIZE SETTING MODE FOR SERIES 11
15.1 GW Size setting
The difference between Series 11 and previous machines is the position of the Power
button. The sequence for sizing the modules is the same.
It is important to set the size switch setting into the Motor Controller’s memory whenever a
replacement Motor Controller and or IW Display Module is fitted to Smartdrive. Failure to
do this will result in Smartdrive faulting with fault code 9.
Accessing size setting mode is the best way to check the size for GW. The size setting of
Smartdrive may be checked in Diagnostic mode for all phases.
To set the size switch turn the power on at the power point and off at the console. Press
and hold the TEMPERATURE UP button then press the POWER button. Smartdrive will
give 4 short beeps and the pattern of LEDs will change.

· Press SPIN SPEED UP button, the SPIN HOLD LED is on for (8.0kg) 17.6lb (650mm
wide). 25.5 in
· Press POWER to exit this mode.
If the size setting is wrong Smart drive will have the following settings incorrect: -
· The Auto Water Levels chosen by Smartdrive may be wrong.
· The High Water Level may be wrong by as much as 1.5 in.
· The flow rate for inlet water, normally (3 litres or 0.8 gal per minute), may be set
incorrectly.
· The wash profile controls the strength of the agitator. This could result in poor wash
performance or splash over.
· Water saver settings.
