Hose Reversal Detection and Correction  

The washing machine has diagnostic features that 
determine if the hoses are reversed on the first 
complete cycle after power up. The control board 
monitors water temperatures during the wash cycle. 
 
The control system is capable of detecting hot and cold 
water intake hose reversal and will change the fill 
temperature as necessary after the first cycle. 
The control system stores and retains hot and cold 
water intake hose reversal information which is detected 
on the first three complete cycles after power up. 
 
The system reverts to factory defaults for the cold and 
hot water valves and cancels hose reversal detection if 
a diagnostic code 28 has been logged in a cycle.
