How Your Stacked Washer/Dryer Works

Section 2 Introduction
General (Dryer)
The dryer uses heated air to dry loads of laundry. When the motor is started, the exhaust fan pulls fresh air in through louvers at the rear of the dryer and over the heat source (burner flame for gas and heating element for electr ic). The heated air moves through the heater duct and into the cylinder, where it circulates through the wet load. The air then passes through the lint filter, air duct and exhaust fan, where it is vented to the outdoors.
General (Washer)
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, removes the water out of the washer and spi ns the clothing in preparation for the dryer.
The difference in operation is primarily the rotational washing agitation creat ed for the horiz ontal basket and drum. This agitation tum bles the clothes in a clockwise, pause, and counter-clockwise direction. This reversing tumbling action provides an efficient washing process and requires less laundry detergent and less wate r.
The cycle begins by pressing the start button, which locks the loading door. The type of cycle and water temperature are determined by the cycle select switch and temperature selector switch.
The inner basket st arts agit ating dur ing 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 cycles tumble the clothing in a clockwise direction for a period of 15 seconds, pauses for nin e se conds 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.
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 cycl e are determi ned by t he type o f wash cycle selected (refer to table).
NOTE: Washer may not reach 1000 RPM because of an out-of-balance condition. Control may limit speed to 850, 650 or 5 00 RPM depending on severity of out-of-balance condition.

Technical (Washer)
The basic operational system of thi s washer consist s of the control, temperature switch, the 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 me asures 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-balanc e sw itch is used to detect any out-of- balance condit ion during spins . If this swit ch opens during a spin step, the inverter control immediately stops and then rest art s the spin.
Upon completion of the wash cycle, th e machi ne goes into two rinse cycles. F resh cold water is brought into the inner basket via t he mixing valve unti l the pres sure switch shuts off the water while agitating. The rinse cycle consists of ag itat ion for a predete rmined amou nt of time then a spin mode with the pump running while the machine goes into a series of 4 short 500 RPM spins.

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.
To correct this condition, replace the belt, Refer to Paragraph 42.

Motor Failure Error.
Fill Error.
Door Open Error.
Door Lock/Unlock Error.
SPI Communications Error.
If the control receives the motor failure signal from the motor control, the control will enter Error Mode. The control will turn of f all outp uts and flash the DOOR and FINAL SPIN LE Ds 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 W ASH 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 durin g Run Mode, th e cont r ol will ent er Err or 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 e rror . This is a fat al error. The machine must be unpowered to clear this error.
If the door doesn’ t lock i n 15 seconds in Door Locking Mode or t he do or doesn’t unlock in 3 minutes in Door Unlocking Mode, the control will enter Door Lock Error Mode. The cont rol will turn off all output s and fl ash the DOOR LED one second on/one second off to i ndicat e a door lock/unlock error.
To clear this error in Door Locked Mode the door mu st e ither open or l ock. If th e do or locks, the cycle will start normally. If the door opens, the control will revert back to Start Mode.
T o clear this error in Door Unloc king Mode the door must unloc k or open. If the door unlocks or opens, the control will en ter End of Cycle Mode.
This error occurs when there is a problem with communicati ons between the front- end control and the motor control. The control will turn off all outpu ts a nd flash the FINAL SPIN an d RINSE LEDs one second on/o ne se cond off to indicate an SPI c ommuni cat ions error. Th is 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 temper ature l ess than 32°F ( 0°C) or gr eater th an 212°F ( 100°C) while heating, the control will turn of f t he he ate r outp ut and no t att empt to heat . The cont rol will continue and finish the cycle normally. At the end of the cycle the control will flash th e HEA TING L ED one-second on/one se cond off to indicate an open/shor ted temperature senso r error. This error will be cleared when the door is opened at the end of the cycle.
