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 electric). 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 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 laundry detergent and less water.
The cycle begins by locking the loading door after the vend is satisfied. The type of cycle and water temperature are determined by the appropriate pads on the Electronic control.
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 agitate cycle tumbles 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 or drain valve which removes the wash water.
Upon completion of the wash cycle, the machine goes into a rinse cycle. 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 where the machine goes into a series of 4 short 500 RPM spins. Two of these rinse cycles will normally take place with a third extra rinse cycle being optional.
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).
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 (Washer)
The basic operational system of this washer consists of the electronic control, the inverter control, pressure switch, water valves, electric pump (or drain valve) and A.C. motor.
The electronic control performs all control and timing functions like the timer in a topload washer. The electronic control sends simple speed and output commands to the inverter control via serial communication. The electronic control powers the door lock, pump and the inverter control.
The inverter control powers the A.C. motor and performs all motor control functions. The inverter control also powers the water and dispenser valves and passes the pressure switch status to the electronic control. The inverter control is powered through the door switch, door lock switch and electronic control. The inverter control also alerts the electronic control to any errors in the motor.
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 the drum 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-of-balance 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.

1. TROUBLESHOOTING COIN DROP

a. Non-Electronic Coin Drops:
When coin is placed into coin slot, the coin should roll down drop and be heard dropping into coin vault. If coin does not fall into coin vault or if coin drop sensor does not register that coin has been entered, follow troubleshooting instructions on following page. Refer to Figure 1 for path that coin follows when working properly.
IMPORTANT: Never use oil to correct coin drop problems. Oil residue will prevent coins from rolling properly.
IMPORTANT: Do not bend or damage mechanical parts within coin drop.

3. 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 63.

20. ERROR CODE LISTING

E:df Drive failure. This error code is generated by the motor control and
transmitted to the master control. Several conditions can cause this code; motor unplugged, motor failure, tachometer circuit open, inner basket locked up. This is a fatal error. Machine must be unpowered to reset.
E:SP Serial communication error. This error code occurs when the master control cannot
communicate with the motor control. The master control will try to reset the motor control by powering it down. It will try resetting three times before setting the error code. Common causes: fuse blown on motor control board, wiring to motor control incorrect. This is a fatal error.
E:FL Fill error. This error code occurs if the pressure switch fails to open in 30
minutes in any fill/agitate cycle. This is a fatal error.
door Door Open Indicator. This error code occurs when the door is not closed at the start of
an active cycle. If the door is closed, check for wiring or door switches.
E:do Door open error. This error code occurs if the control detects the door open and
door locked inputs high at the same time. You can get this error if you jerk on the door when it is locked or as it is about to lock. This is a fatal error.
E:dL Door lock error. This error code occurs if the door does not lock in 15 seconds or
unlock in 3 minutes at the end of the cycle. This is a non-fatal error. If the door locks or unlocks while E:dL is displayed it will clear the error condition. Also if the door is opened after failing to lock it will clear the display.
