Operation
F232061
Stop Routine
When the wash cycle concludes, the computer
goes into the stop routine. The stop routine
consists of a brief countdown and a brief
reversing sequence, after which the computer
will display “donE.”
If no water level is detected, and no rotation is
detected from the AC drive, the computer will
unlock the door and sound the buzzer for five
seconds. The computer will display “dONE”
for 25 seconds regardless of whether or not the
door is opened.
If the computer cannot unlock the door, it will
display “----” while attempting to unlock the
door five additional times. If it is still unable to
unlock the door after five attempts, it will flash
“CANt”/“OPEN.” No further attempts will be
made to unlock the door.
Balance Detection
All models come equipped with an inverter
drive balance detection system.
Load balance is detected by the inverter drive
during the drain step. The V-series computer
will make up to seven attempts to balance the
load during a drain step.
The computer begins monitoring the balance
signal from the AC inverter drive eight seconds
after the water level drops below low level. If
the balance signal indicates that the wash load
is evenly distributed, the computer will start
the spin step.
If the balance signal indicates that the wash
load is unbalanced, the computer will slow
the cylinder down to wash speed for seven
seconds in an attempt to redistribute the load.
The computer will make as many as seven
attempts, if needed.
If on the seventh attempt the load is not
balanced, the machine will light the out-of-
balance LED indicator located in the upper left
corner of the display (to the left of the first
digit) until the next drain step. The machine
will then skip the programmed spin and
continue to the next programmed step.
If this occurs in the final segment, the machine
will begin the Stop routine.
Overtravel Limit Switch
As a fail-safe measure, an overtravel limit
switch is installed. The limit switch serves to
trigger a rapid stop. This means that if the
machine balance “passes” the inverter drive
balance detection system at the drain step but
the balance switch detects an out-of-balance
load condition at the extract step, the basket
will brake to a rapid stop.
To reset the control, push the stop button and
open the door when the display shows “donE.”
Test Cycle
A test cycle is provided as a means of verifying
proper machine operation. Before the test
cycle is run, it must be enabled. Refer to the
Programming section of this manual for
instructions on enabling and running the
test cycle.
NEVER insert hands or objects into basket
until it has completely stopped. Doing so
could result in serious injury.
