mention model and serial numbers. Model and serial
numbers are located on nameplate(s) as shown.
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, pumps 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 creat ed for the horizont al 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 pressing the start button, which
locks the loading door after the vend is satisfied. The
type of cycle and wa ter t emperat ure are deter mined b y
the temperature selector switch and the cycle select
switch.
The inner basket sta rts agit ating dur ing the w ash 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 cycle tumbl e the
clothing in a clockwise direction for a period of 15
seconds, pauses for n ine 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 or drain valve which removes the wash water.
Upon completion of the wash cycle, the machine goes
into two rinse cycles. Fresh cold water is brought into
the inner basket via t he mixing val ve until t he pressur e

switch shuts off the water while agitating. The rinse
cycle consists of ag itat ion for a pred etermi ned amou nt
of time, then a s pin mode with the pu mp running while
the machine goes into a series of 4 short 500 RPM
spins.
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 cyc le are det ermin ed 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 500 RPM depending on severit y
of out-of-balance condition.

Technical
The basic operational system of thi s washer consist s of
the control, temperature switch, inverter control,
pressure switch, water valves, electric pump (or drain
valve), A.C. motor, transformer 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 measures the RPM of motor
to sense out-of-ba lance. The inver ter control wi ll 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-balance switch is use d
to detect any out-of- balance con dition during s pins.
If this switch opens during a spin st ep, the inverter
control immediately stops and then restarts the
spin.

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 agitati ng and turns on th e pump or drain

Technical
The basic operational system of this wa sher consist s 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 t he water and di spenser valve s 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 als o alerts the elect ronic 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 in verter contro l 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 -balanc e swit ch 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.
If a frontload washer produces a noise simi lar to a
knock on a door, it might be due to a flat spot on
the belt. The knocking sound is made when the fl at
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 41.

If the control receives the motor failure signal from the motor control, the control will
enter Error Mode. The control will turn off all outputs an d flash the DOOR LOCKED and
FINAL SPIN AND TUMBLE LEDs 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 ful l in put from the pres sur e swit ch in dic at ing the cyl in der is ful l
within 30 minutes of starting the fill, the control will enter Error Mode. The control will
turn off all outputs and flash the IN USE and DOOR LOCKED 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 during Run Mode, the control will enter Error Mode.
The control will turn off all outputs and flash the IN USE and CLOSE DOOR LEDs one
second on/one second off to indicate a door open error. This is a fatal error. The machine
must be unpowered to clear this error.
If the door doesn’ t lock i n 15 seconds in Door Lo cking Mode or the door doe sn’ t unlock i n
3 minutes in Door Unlocking Mode, the control will enter Door Lock Error Mode. The
control will turn off all outputs and flas h the DOOR LOCKED and CLOSE DOOR LEDs
one second on/one second off to indicate a door lock/unlock error.
To clear this error in Door Locked Mode the door must either open or lock. If the door
locks, the cycle will start normally. If the door opens, the control will revert back to Start
Mode.
To clear this error in Door Unlocking Mode the door must unlock or open. If the door
unlocks or opens, the control will enter End of Cycle Mode.
This error occurs when there is a problem with communications between the front-end
control and the motor control. The control will turn off all outputs and flash the FINAL
SPIN AND TUMBLE and CLOSE DOOR LEDs one second on/ one secon d of f to indicate
an SPI communications error. This is a fatal err or. The machine must be power ed down at
this point.
