4-2. TEST MODE

Test Mode:

Each Test Mode for the Frontier Washer is as follows in the coming pages. The test modes indicated by the red arrows are the modes unable to get an access once the washing cycle has started due to safety reasons.

4-2-1. Quick Test Mode

Deﬁnition of Quick Test Mode:

-Check operation of all LED’s (Verify faulty LED).

-Check model and software version.

-Check different operating modes (e.g. water valve, motor, door, drain pump, etc.).

How to Enter:

-Plug in and turn on the unit.

-Press Spin Key, Soil Level Key and Power Key at the same time. (Same for all Frontier models.)

Quick Test Mode:

1. All LED’s light up and it sends out Beep Sound when it enters into the Quick Test Mode. (Including 7-Segment)

2. Displays software version for a sec.

(Ex. If S/W Version is 60, 7-Segment will display U060)

3. After displaying the software version, 7-Segment will display the following information for each model.

- F1 : WF326LAW, WF326LAS

-F2 : WF316LAW

-F2b: WF316BAC, WF316BAW

- F3 : WF306LAW

- F8b: WF306BHW

- EEEE : Model option Error (Need to replace PCBAssy.)

4. When model information is being displayed, press the following keys to test various components.

- Temp Key : Water Valve Test - Spin Key : Motor Test

-Soil Level Key : Door Lock/Unlock Test

-Signal Key : Drain Pump Test.

4-2

4-2-1. Quick Test Mode

Water Valve Test:

1. To enter the Water Valve Test, press the Temp Key while model information is being displayed during the Quick Test Mode.

2. Each time the Temp Key is pressed, it will cycle through the operations on the left ﬂow chart. But, WF306LAW(F3) and WF306BHW(F8b) do not have the pre water valve. So, it will skip Pre Water Valve On and jump to Cold Water Valve On.

3. If the Temp Key is pressed duringAll Water Valve OFF, the machine will return to the beginning as shown in the ﬂow chart.

4. The door needs to be secured for the Water Valve to operate. Therefore, the door lock will be on during the water valve operation.

5. If there is any problem with Water Valve, PCBAssy. or Wire Harness, the water valves could not operate. So, to make sure for the water valves to operate, check visually if water comes out with each Water Valve On mode.

Motor Test:

1. To enter the Motor Test, press the Spin Key while model information is being displayed during the Quick Test Mode.

2. Each time the Spin Key is pressed, it will cycle through the operations on the left ﬂow chart.

4. The Door Lock will be on during the motor operation.

5. If there is any problem with Motor, PCBAssy. or Wire Harness,related error codes will be displayed.

Door Lock/Unlock Test:

1.To check the Door Lock/Unlock operation, press the Soil Level Key while model information is being displayed during the Quick Test Mode.

2. Each time the Soil Level Key is pressed, it will cycle through the Door Lock/ Unlock operations on the left ﬂow chart.

3. If the Soil Level Key is pressed during Door Lock and Water Valve, Motor or Drain Pump operation, all of the operations will stop.And, when the Soil Level Key is pressed again,the door will be released.

4. If there is any problem with Door Switch, PCBAssy. or Wire Harness, related error codes will be displayed.

Drain Pump Test:

1. To check the Drain Pump operation, press the Signal Key while model information is being displayed during the Quick Test Mode.

2. Each time the Signal Key is pressed, it will cycle through the operations on the left ﬂow chart.

3.The Drain Pump operation is independent.

Therefore, it will operate regardless of Door Lock/Unlock.

4.If there is any problem with Drain Pump, PCBAssy. or Wire Harness, the Drain Pump will not operate.

So, its operation needs a visual inspection.

4-3

4-2-2. EEPROM Reset Mode

Deﬁnition of EEPROM Reset Mode:

-EEPROM initialization.

-All course/option settings are to be reset to default values after EEPROM initialization.

-When Service arises and it needs PCB replacement, EEPROM should be reset.

How to Enter:

-The unit needs to be on.

-Press Delay Start Key, Signal Key and Power Key at the same time. (Same for all Frontier models.)

EEPROM Reset Mode:
1.	EEPROM can be reset once the user enters the EEPROM Clear Mode.
2.	If there is any problem with EEPROM, 7-Segment will display “ FAiL”. “Good”
	will be displayed if everything is OK.
3.	PCB assy. needs replacing if “FAiL” is displayed during EEPROM reset.
4.	If PCB assy. is replaced for some reason, EEPROM needs resetting.
5.	If problem occurs with Sticky Function, My Cycle and Power Failure
	Compensation, it may be due to EEPROM .
	Check EEPROM’s condition at EEPROM Clear Mode.
4-2-3. Continuous Run Mode

Deﬁnition of Continuous Run Mode:

-Will continuously repeat the current cycle until the Continuous Run Mode is cancelled. How to Enter:

-Press Delay Start Key and Extra Rinse Key together for 3 sec. (Same for all Frontier models.)

Continuous Run Mode:

1.Press Delay Start + Extra Rinse Key for 3 sec during Power On State (Normal User Mode) .

2.Once in Continuous Run Mode, 7-Segment will blink “cc” and the remaining time in turns.

3.The Continuous Run Mode will repeat the previous cycle until continuous run mode is cancelled.

4.During Continuous Run Mode, press Delay Start + Extra Rinse Key for 3 seconds to return to normal user mode. 7-segment will no longer display “cc”, but only display the remaining time.

4-2-4. Special Test Mode

Deﬁnition of Special Test Mode:

-Special Test Mode enables service technicians to verify the operation of the washing machine and do troubleshooting.

-Special Test Mode can be entered during all washing cycle without interrupting the cycle except some of test modes.

-Various tests can be done with Special Test Mode. So, troubleshooting can be done based on the resulting diagnostic codes. How to Enter:

-To enter the Special Test Mode, press the Signal and Extra Rinse Keys for 3 seconds or until the unit sends out

beeping sounds. (same for all Frontier models.)

4-4

4-2-4. Special Test Mode

Special Test Mode:

1.The washer must be on to go into the Special Test Mode.

2.The motor speed will be displayed when started (It displays 0 when the motor does not spin).

3.The present state of the machine will not be changed.

(i.e., the current cycle in progress will not be interrupted and only the display will change)

4.All LED’s will be turned off except the “Door Lock” LED. It will continue to display the condition of the door lock.

5.To exit Special Test Mode, press Signal and Extra Rinse Keys for 3 second again, or Power Key.

If no key is operated during Special Test Mode for 5 minutes, the machine will return to normal user mode.

Deﬁnition of Quick Spin Test Mode:

-Quick Spin Test Mode is to do Spin Check. (High RPM) How to Enter:

-During Special Test Mode, press the Delay Start and Silver Wash Keys (Rinse Water + Key) for 3 seconds to enter Quick Spin Test Mode. (same for all Frontier models.)

-Cannot enter once the washing cycle has started.

Quick Spin Test Mode:

As it enters into the Quick Spin Test Mode, it starts spinning and reaches to its maximum RPM.And then, it stays at its maximum speed for 2 minutes before it exits the Quick Spin Test Mode.

To hold Quick Spin Test Mode (entering Speed Hold Mode), press the Start/Pause button. If the Start/Pause button is pressed during Quick Spin Test Mode, it will stop accelerating and hold its spinning speed for 10 minutes before going back to Quick Spin Test Mode.

Also, to cancel the hold and allow Quick Spin Test Mode to continue, press the Delay Start and Silver Wash Keys together for 3 seconds.
