Failures and possible causes
As regards the turbidity sensor, it is essential that the LED (transmitter and
receiver) is correctly aligned to ensure it reads correctly.
If there is a lot of foam the sensor will read maximum turbidity. The following
situations are possible:
• If the machine is at the start of the second wash stage in an AUTO
programme, the sensor will always select the longest cycle.
• If the rinse stage is underway the sensor will take a reading before and
after the rinse aid is dispensed. If there is still foam in the tub before the
rinse aid is dispensed, the sensor may not detect any difference between
the first and second readings and as a result the rinse aid indicator light
will be lit at the end of the cycle.
In both cases the problem is not due to the sensor but to the cause of the
foam (e.g. rinse aid may have leaked from the dispenser, residues of detergent
tablet rinse aid balls.
Check all electrical connections as well: from the sensor up to the timer.

Duo wash
The system underlying the duo wash was designed to allow users more
flexibility when loading the machine, i.e. half-load either in the top or bottom
racks.
The duo wash motor is fitted to the wash pump. To be exact, the whole
system is based on a vane which acts as a gate installed inside the pump
volute. Depending on which rack you want to use, this vane will be moved
by the small motor.
At the beginning of each new cycle the machine will find the right position by
resetting the system. This also serves to avoid starting in the wrong position. A
three-way connector is used for the electrical connection. It has three cables
fastened together, with terminals and installed inside the same connector as
the wash pump supply cables. The duo programme is piloted by three cables,
a neutral and two phased cables. The system that recognizes the various
positions and relative water supplies is underpinned by a mathematical model
based on the rotation circumference of the vane.
