4.12.1 Detection of Inner Basket Float Off Point – Basket Check
During fill the inner basket will rotate to ensure that the clothes are evenly saturated with water.
When the chosen water level is reached, and before the agitate cycle is started, the machine will
carry out inner basket float checks (basket check). The inner basket will stop and commence a
number of small agitate type actions. During this action the machine determines if the inner basket
has floated if it has, the machine determines the correct water level has been reached. If the inner
basket has not floated, the machine will continue filling and check again later. The water level at
which the inner basket floats is not necessarily the same as the final water level.
4.12.2 Detection of Inner Basket Re-Engagement – Basket Check
After the water has drained, the inner basket will sink down and re-engage onto the drive spline.
To ensure the inner basket has re-engaged correctly, the machine will carry out a basket re-
engage test sequence (basket check). Basket check consists of a series of short agitate type
actions before the spin cycle starts. A sound may be heard as the inner basket re-engages.

4.12.4 Balance
Ring
The inner basket for AquaSmart
™
has a new top balance ring, which has 2 internal chambers
instead of just one as on EcoSmart
™
bowls. Both chambers are ½ filled with water.
The physical appearance of the balance rings changes from a square profile to a curved profile.
4.12.5 Inner Basket Base
The new basket used on the AquaSmart
™
has all 3 chambers partially filled with water where as
the basket base used on large EcoSmart
™
(one with the internal bumps) has only the inner and
middle chambers filled with water.
IMPORTANT
It is important that the new inner bowl for AquaSmart
™
is only used on AquaSmart
™
models. If the inner bowl is fitted to an EcoSmart
™
, it will cause the bump detect software
not to function correctly, leading to increased cases whereby the inner bowl could hit
against the top deck and cabinet.
Conversely, an EcoSmart
™
inner bowl should not be fitted to AquaSmart
™
.
