FAULT CODES
Fault codes are indicated in the small digit display. when a fault is being displayed, the programme
progress LEDs will also flash.
Check position and orientation of module edge connectors before removing to test and only remove
one
connector at a time.
For position of edge connectors on module see page 22.
Production Modules DO NOT have a plug-in replaceable EEPROM.
Fault indication LEDs flash together with programme button LEDs.
FAULT FINDING
Fault Codes will be shown in the Display when an electrical fault occurs. Fault codes will be displayed
prefixed by the letter "F".
IMPORTANT NOTE: Disconnect the machine from Electricity Supply before any testing.
General Information
If the machine has an Earth Fault it can display erroneous fault codes.
Repair any Earth Faults on the machine before using the code guide on the previous page.
Some faults will not show up as error codes:-
The module will not show up a fault if the water to the machine is turned off or if the solenoid
valves are open circuit.
Certain motor faults, will not show as a fault, the door will lock but the machine will not start a
programme. (motor plug disconnected, faulty brushes etc.)
Open circuit field windings will signal fault F01.
If the motor Thermoprotector (toc) - if fitted -operates in the middle of a cycle, the machine will stop
with no fault code indicated, when the thermoprotector (toc) resets the cycle will then restart.
If the element goes open circuit in the middle of a programme and the pressure switch is in the full
position, the machine may not signal a fault but will wash for a long extended period.
Note:
The chart on the following pages refers to both "commutator" (brush motor) and "three
phase" (non-brush motor) models. Refer to text for appropriate information.
