  Consumer Fault Mode (CFM)

  Field Service Mode

Field Service Mode Entry

Press and hold the Start button while rotating 

the cycle selection knob seven clicks and then 

release the Start button.

•  Once Service Mode is entered, all LEDs will 

be flashing.

•  The Cycle Selection knob is now used to 

control the test selection menu.

•  Rotating knob clockwise (CW) will 

increment test numbers in display.

•  Rotating knob counter-clockwise (CCW) 

will decrement test number in display.

• 

Turning knob to go to a different test will 

terminate any current active test.

•  Once test number is selected, pressing Start 

will begin the selected test.

Exit Field Service Mode

•  If water is in the tub, use Drain Pump Test 

12 to drain the washer before exiting Service 

Mode. 

•  Field Service Mode will time out after 

30-minutes if there is no user activity. 

•  Press the Power button.

The 

Consumer Fault Mode provides a way for 

consumers to read the fault table from their 

washers to provide them to the service call taker.  

This will allow the service technicians to bring the 

correct replacement parts to the service call.

Entry into Consumer Fault Mode

While the machine is in IDLE (all LEDs off):

•  Press and hold Start button for 10-seconds.

•  After holding the Start button for 10-seconds, 

all LEDs will turn on, signifying the user may 

release the button and the machine will boot 

into CFM.

Behaviors While in Consumer Fault Mode

•  The Pause and Lid Lock LEDs should be 

constantly blinking while in CFM.

•  First fault, if present, will show on the display.

•  Faults with an ID greater than 100 will not be 

displayed.  These are "engineering faults".

•  Pressing the Start button will display the next 

Fault Code.

• 

At the end of the buffer or if no faults present:

•  All status LEDs will blink.

Exiting Consumer Fault Mode

•  Pressing any button (other than 

Start

) or 

turning any knob will exit Consumer Fault 

Mode.

•  Consumer Fault Mode will timeout after 

10-minutes.
