SERVICE ACTIONS

F01

Main PCB, Triac 
on board 
damaged or 
components
Feedback fault

- Check for water leaks that may affect connectors J009 (Commutator) 
or J9 (Three-phase) causing the relative contacts to short;
- Check the motor terminal board (any problems due to aggression 
caused by manufacturing chemical residues that may cause short 
circuits);
- Check the connection on the wash heating element;
- Check efficiency of connector J001 (Commutator) or J010 (Three-
phase) on the PCB;
- Check connector J001 (Commutator) or J10 (Three-phase) pins 3 and 
4 for continuity of the wash heating element (1700 watt - 230 volt) which 
must be 30 Ohm 

+/-

10%. Otherwise, renew heating element;

- Check for water leaks that may affect connectors J006 (Commutator) 
or J7 (Three-phase) causing the relative contacts to short;
- Check the terminal board (any problems due to aggression caused by 
manufacturing chemical residues that may cause short circuits);
- Check wiring of connectors J006 (Commutator) or J7 (three phase) / 
Pressure switch;
- Disconnect appliance for 2 minutes. Check wiring and connectors of 
the dryer heating element on main PCB board side and component side;
- Check that correct operation has been restored by starting the Autotest 
routine;
- Renew main PCB.

F02

Motor tripped, 
motor tacho 
generator open 
circuit or short 
circuit

- Check for water leaks that may affect connector J009 causing the 
contacts to short circuit;
- Check to ensure motor is not mechanically jammed or seized;
- Check efficiency of the contacts on connector J009 on the PCB;
- Check the motor side connector;
- Check motor winding and check that the impedance value on wiring 
connector J009 between pins 3 and 4, 4 and 5, 3 and 5 is less than 
100 Ohm; (three phase)
- Check the tacho generator winding and check that the impedance 
value on wiring connector J009 between pins 1 and 2 is between 115 
and 170 Ohm;
- Check the tacho generator wiring;
- Disconnect appliance for 2 minutes. Check that correct operation 
has been restored by starting the Autotest routine;
- Renew motor;
- Renew PCB.
