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 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 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 regular and perm press agitate cycles tumble 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 cycle. The machine stops agitating and turns on the pump 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 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 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 cycle are determined by the type of wash cycle selected (refer toTable 1 or Table 2).
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 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 measures 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-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.

a. To test the electrical circuit, disconnect
electrical power to the washer.
b. Remove the “H1” connector from the inverter
control assembly.
c. Use an Ohm meter to check the black/white to
violet/white wires. Circuit should read closed. An open reading indicates a bad switch or wire harness problem.
d. Flex the harness at the plastic wire clamp and
test continuity. If the base wire harness has an open circuit it MUST be replaced or the broken wires must be repaired with UL approved terminals.
e. After replacing or repairing the wire harness,
wrap electrical tape around wires in two locations as indicated below and in Figure 1. Then secure the harness wires to the original factory locations using clamp and wire tie. Refer to Figure 1.
(1) The plastic wire clamp should be angled
toward the switch at 45 degrees.
(2) The clamp should wrap around the first
section of tape on the harness, which should be placed approximately 4.5 inches (11.43 cm) from end of terminals.
(3) The harness should be secured to the
inverter control shield with a wire tie.
(4) The tie should wrap around the third section
of tape on the harness, which should be placed approximately 14 inches (35.56 cm) from end of terminals. Refer to Figure 1.

5. No Spin (Washer)

A no spin condition is not caused by intermittent operation of the motor or motor control (inverter assembly). DO NOT replace these components for no spin complaints if the unit passes the following procedure:
Troubleshooting
No spin.
FLW1789S
Allow unit to go
through complete
final spin cycle.
Does unit spin at
high speed?
Motor and motor control board are operating properly. Do not replace them.
Yes
With no load, rapid advance to final spin or select spin only cycle. Close door and start washer.
BEFORE replacing the motor control board, conduct the following tests.
No
Is pressure

Is load out-of-
balance?
Unit makes three attempts to re­balance out-of­balance loads. If all attempts fail, final high speed spin is aborted. ONLY proper loading can correct problem.
Yes
Is there a slow drain, clogged
pump or
oversudsing
condition?
Pressure switch must register an "empty" condition before unit will enter spin. Clear drain or pump.
Yes
Replace switch and/or wiring.
No
No
Does unit spin now?

6. Troubleshooting Shock Absorbers

To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
• Disconnect all electric power to the machine and accessories before servicing.
• Close gas shut-off valve to gas dryer before servicing.
• Never start machine with any guards/panels removed.
• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be reconnected to ensure that the machine is properly grounded.
• Washer motor not grounded! Disconnect electric power before servicing motor.
W502
WARNING
A squeaking noise, oil seen on the base of the washer, or an out-of-balance condition may mean one or more shock absorbers need to be replaced.
To determine if there is an inoperative shock:
1. Remove front access panel.
2. Check height of rod or rod spacing above shock. If all four shocks are uniform and have about two inches of rod showing when basket is empty, shocks don’t need replacing. Refer to Figure 3. If one or more shocks is showing less than two inches of rod, then an internal spring has broken and all four shocks should be replaced.
3. Check base of washer below shock absorbers for grease or oil. Shocks are not oil filled. Any oil is from grease used internally to lubricate damper of shock. A small amount of grease/oil on base is normal and doesn’t indicate failure. A large amount of grease/oil indicates a shock that might fail soon. Do not replace shock until the internal spring has broken as described in Step 2.

Washer Control Troubleshooting

24. Washer Error Code Listing

Error Conditions
If any of the following errors occur, the control enters Error Mode. For all fatal errors, the control will terminate the current cycle, turn off all outputs, and flash two LEDs one second on/one second off to indicate the error.
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 off all outputs and flash the DOOR and FINAL SPIN 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 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 WASH 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 during Run Mode, the control will enter Error 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 error. This is a fatal error. The machine must be unpowered to clear this error.
If the door doesn’t lock in 15 seconds in Door Locking Mode or the door doesn’t unlock in 3 minutes in Door Unlocking Mode, the control will enter Door Lock Error Mode. The control will turn off all outputs and flash the DOOR LED 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 RINSE LEDs one second on/one second off to indicate an SPI communications error. This is a fatal error. The machine must be powered down at this point.
Open/Shorted Temperature Sensor Error (Models equipped with heater)
802848 37
Any time the control senses a temperature less than 32°F (0°C) or greater than 212°F (100°C) while heating, the control will turn off the heater output and not attempt to heat. The control will continue and finish the cycle normally. At the end of the cycle the control will flash the HEATING LED one-second on/one second off to indicate an open/ shorted temperature sensor error. This error will be cleared when the door is opened at the end of the cycle.

45. Burner System Operation

(Gas Models – Refer to Figure 15.) a. Components
This burner has four basic components: a silicon carbide (glow bar) igniter, burner tube, sensor, and a two-stage gas valve consisting of a split-coil valve and a secondary coil valve. The split-coil valve is opened when the dryer thermostat calls for heat, while the secondary valve does not open until the igniter has attained ignition temperature.
b. Pre-Ignition Circuits
When the dryer thermostat calls for heat, circuits are completed through the holding coil, sensor, booster coil and igniter. Both coils must be energized to open the split-coil valve. Once opened, the holding coil can hold the valve open without assistance from the booster coil. The sensor triggers the current to travel around
74 802848
the secondary coil and through the igniter, causing the igniter to get hot.
c. Burner Circuit
In approximately 30 seconds, the igniter attains ignition temperature and ignition is made. The heat from the burner flame causes the sensor contacts (located on burner housing beside the
© Copyright, Alliance Laundry Systems LLC – DO NOT COPY or TRANSMIT
igniter) to open. A circuit is then completed through the secondary valve coil, opening the valve and allowing gas to flow.
d. Momentary Power Interruption
Upon resumption of power, sensor contacts will still be open, permitting secondary valve to open. However, with the secondary coil in the circuit, the booster coil cannot draw enough current to open the split-coil valve. When sensor contacts do reclose, the secondary valve will close, and the burner system will be in the normal pre-ignition circuit.
e. Flame Failure
In case of flame failure, the sensor contacts will re-close in about 45 seconds. This will close the secondary valve and the burner system will be in the normal pre-ignition circuit.
f. Ignition Failure
If flame is not established as sensor contacts open, secondary valve will remain open until sensor contacts re-close. Sensor will continue to recycle the igniter and secondary valve (about once per minute) until ignition is made or dryer is turned off.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
• Disconnect all electric power to the machine and accessories before servicing.
• Close gas shut-off valve to gas dryer before servicing.
• Never start machine with any guards/panels removed.
• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be reconnected to ensure that the machine is properly grounded.
