13.1 Diagnostic Mode

The diagnostic test is used to check the functionality of individual component.

Enter Diagnostic Mode:

1. Press

power

to turn machine ON.

2. Set cycle to

normal

3. Press the

start

button.

4. Power OFF machine by pressing the

power

button.

5. Power ON machine by pressing the

power

button again.

6. Within 7 seconds, simultaneously hold

temp

set

buttons together for 3 seconds.

7. Diagnostic Mode is set when LEDs start blinking in sequence, which is the ‘Lights / Buttons’ test position.

To Scroll Through the Tests:

• Tests are selected by using the same method used to select cycles, that is, press

cycles

button on Model 417

holding a little longer from the test 00 to 01 transition, and turn the rotary knob on Models 517 and 617. For

Model 417, press the

temp

key to go back to the previous test.

• Test numbers are briefly displayed when each test is selected. The test numbers also correspond to the

selector LEDs numbered from 1 at the top going down and then looping to the top of the Temp Column.
