2 LID LOCK
The Phase 7 Intuitive Eco™ Washer uses the same lid lock
that is used on the Phase 6 series 11 & 12 machines. The
difference being is that the lid is now locked for the entire
cycle. A symbol of a padlock will be displayed on the when
the lid lock is activated. Once the spin has completed, the
lock will release and the lid can be opened. To open the lid
during the cycle the START/PAUSE button must be pressed,
the machine will come to a halt, and the padlock symbol will
disappear.
If the lid is left open, the machine will be unable to lock the lid
and the cycle will be halted. The machine will play a tune the
words “Please Close The Lid” will be displayed on the LCD
screen.
• If the lid-lock fails in the closed position, the locked lid can be forced upwards and out of the
lock. Note: This is the only time in which we would recommend doing this.
• If the harness is damaged, the complete lid lock assembly will need to be replaced.
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 10 secs). Only then will it release the lock. The motor is acting like a
generator and allows the lock to stay energized under the bowls inertia.
The chart below shows the stages when the lid is locked.
In a brown out situation, the machine will restart at the start of whatever section of the cycle it was
on and continue the wash. The lid lock would then be reactivated if it happened to be on a spin
cycle.
3 SIZE SETTING
To set the size, turn the power on at the power
point and off at the console. Press and hold the
FABRIC CARE button, then press the POWER
button. This will present a set of options in the
LCD screen.
The LCD screen has within it a number of
options. Push the ADJUST button to highlight
650mm (L). Pushing the POWER button will
lock the “size” into the module’s memory.
4 DIAGNOSTIC MODE
The diagnostic mode incorporates both tests for the drain pump and the water valves, and also the
data display mode.
To enter the diagnostic mode, turn the power on at the power point and off at the console. Press
and hold the LIFECYCLES button and then the POWER button.
The machine will give 2 short beeps and the LCD screen will go blank. Then press OPTIONS for
data retrieval.
Note: Make sure that the buttons are released after the beeps, or the machine will turn itself
out of the diagnostic mode.

4.1 Data Display
To enter the DATA DISPLAY screens, push the LIFECYCLES button again. This will enable the
out of balance switch to be tested, as well as giving access to the Detailed Fault Codes and User
Warning Faults. One of three displays will appear in the screen. Use the buttons on the bottom of
the display screen to toggle between these displays. Options, up or down.
The WARNING STATUS screen will display the
last USER WARNING FAULT that occurred and
will show at what part of the cycle it occurred.
The User Warning Faults are as follows:
• No Taps
• Overloaded
• Out Of Balance
• Over Suds or water still in the machine
during spin
• No Hot Water
• No Cold Water
• Agitate Overloaded
The MACHINE STATUS screen displays the
status of the diverter and the out of balance
switch. It also displays the size setting of the
machine, and the thermistor temperature.
HVDC is for on line testing in the factory.
Target temp is the temperature selected.
T is the actual temp of the inlet chamber water.
The FAULT STATUS screen will display a code
for the last fault that has occurred in the
machine. It will also display how many cycles
ago that the fault occurred, and at what part of
the cycle.
See Detailed Fault Codes for servicing tips.
Note: The fault code number can now be checked in the detail fault codes, to ascertain what
repairs may be necessary.

4.2 Water Valve Test
When in diagnostic mode on IW machines, pressing the HOW DIRTY down button will turn the
Cold water valve on. Pressing the HOW DIRTY up button will turn the hot water valve on. You
need to hold the buttons down to keep the water entering the machine. This is also good to use
when installing machines as it takes the shock out of the fittings and seals and allows checking for
leaks on the inlet hoses, both machine end and tap or super-tub end.
Pressing each button once will activate the valve. To de-activate valve press the same button
again.
Caution: Do not leave the machine unattended when either or both valves are operating.
4.3 Drain Pump Test
When in diagnostic mode the FABRIC CARE button turns the drain pump on or off. This feature
can be helpful if the bowl is still full of water.
4.4 Restart Feature
The Restart feature on the Intuitive can be accessed when in diagnostic mode, pressing the
OPTIONS button will bring up the CONTROL OPTION screen. The LCD screen will display the
following:
The machine leaves the factory with the
RESTART set to the ON position (as shown
here), which is indicated in the screen by the
word RESTART highlighted. To turn the
RESTART feature OFF, push the HOME button.
This will remove the highlight from the word
RESTART. When the machine is being
serviced, it is more convenient to turn the
RESTART feature OFF. This will allow any fault
in the system to show up immediately.
With the RESTART feature on:
1. If a fault occurs in the machine, the diagnostic system will detect it. However, instead of
displaying a fault code immediately, the machine will try to RESTART.
2. If the fault was only of temporary nature, the machine will restart and finish the cycle.
3. If there is a continuous fault the machine will try to RESTART a number of times. This
process could take up to 8 minutes depending on the type of fault. After this, if the machine
still cannot restart, the fault code is displayed and the machine will beep continuously.
Whether or not the RESTART feature is on is indicated during normal use of the machine as
follows:
1. If none of the 5 green “HOW DIRTY” LED’s are on, the RESTART feature is on.
2. If the 5 green “HOW DIRTY” LED’s are flashing, the RESTART feature is off.
NOTE - This feature is designed as a service aid only and should be left ON in the customer’s
home. To return to normal operation, and to reset the RESTART feature to the factory setting,
switch the machine off at the wall or disconnect from the mains supply.
10

517793A
4.5 Recycle Feature
In the Control Option mode (as for setting the RESTART feature), pushing the ADJUST button to
highlight the word RECYCLE will toggle this feature on and off. At the end of servicing, the
machine may require an extended test where the machine can be left to complete a number of
wash cycles. By turning on the RECYCLE feature the machine will continuously repeat the wash
cycle until the RECYCLE feature is turned off.
Whether or not the RECYCLE feature is on is indicated during normal use of the machine as
follows:
When the machine is first turned on:
1. If none of the FABRIC CARE LED’s are on, the recycle feature is off.
2. If all of the FABRIC CARE LED’s flash, the recycle feature is on.
NOTE: This feature is designed as a service aid only and should be OFF in the customer’s
home. To return to normal operation, and to return the recycle feature to the factory
setting, switch the machine off at the wall or disconnect from the mains supply.
4.6 Hot Bowl Flag
If the machine has been filled with the hot water
valve utilized (ie. warm or hot fill) and has not
had a cold rinse, the electronics will not allow
the machine to spin up to its full speed of 1000
RPM. It will only allow the spin speed to reach
700 RPM.
To remove this flag, enter the Control Option
mode and push the OPTIONS UP button to take
the black shading out of the box Hot Bowl Flag,
or put the machine through a complete final
rinse.
NOTE: The drain pump test, water valve test, restart, recycle and hot bowl flag features can
be accessed from any level in the diagnostic mode.
5 FAULT CODES
Fault codes for the Intuitive Eco™ washing machine are detailed in the master service manual, part
