8.8. EXPLANATION ERROR MESSAGES
FAILURE 1 : DRAIN FAILURE COOLDOWN SEQUENCE
Failure 1 occurs when the electronic timer detects that the water is not drained after 3 minutes in a Cooldown
Sequence. The failure message is displayed at the end of the cycle.
DIAGNOSE:
1. Check the drain tube of the washing machine If the drain tube is blocked: repair the drain tube
2. Check the drain valve If the drain valve is defective: replace the drain
valve
3.Check the wiring:
verify if the drain valve is switched Off
The drain valve is normal open. If the wiring is damaged: repair the wiring
FAILURE 2: DRAIN FAILURE
Failure 2 occurs when the electronic timer detects that the water is not drained after 3 minutes in a Drain or
Spin Sequence. The failure message is displayed at the end of the cycle.
DIAGNOSE:
1. Check the drain tube of the washing machine If the drain tube is blocked: repair the drain tube
2. Check the drain valve If the drain valve is defective: replace the drain
valve
3. Check the wiring:
verify if the drain valve is Switched OFF
The drain valve is normal open. If the wiring is damaged: repair the wiring
FAILURE 3 : OUT OF BALANCE BEFORE SPIN
Failure 3 occurs when the out of balance sensor is activated before the spin sequence has started.
Result: the machine will not spin
DIAGNOSE:
1. Check if the out of balance switch is broken
(Make sure shipping braces are removed)
If the out of balance switch is broken: replace the
out of balance switch
2. Check the position of the out of balance switch If the out of balance switch is not correctly
mounted: install the out of balance switch
properly
3. Check the wiring, the contact of the out of
balance switch is normally closed
Check connector pins for loose connections
If there is no continuity: repair the wiring
FAILURE 4 : OUT OF BALANCE NORMAL SPIN
Out of balance at normal Spin will occur when a wash machine is badly loaded.
The machine will try up to 10 times to redistribute the laundry in the drum before the spin step is skipped.
This function will protect the machine against overload and assures the normal lifetime of the washing
machine.
DIAGNOSE:
1. Check the position of the out of balance switch If the out of balance switch is not correctly mounted,
install the out of balance switch properly
2. If this failure occurs often Use a fully loaded drum. A completely filled drum
produces less unbalance than a drum that is only
filled for 1/3
3. Check the wiring if there is no bad connection.
The out of balance sensor is a NC contact
If there is a bad connection: repair the wiring
