9.5. Valve
Valve is an electrical and mechanical component
which is designed to take water from the
network system into the washing machine. It is
operated by PCB card.
Valve
Technical features
Nominal voltage
220-240 V
Nominal power
8 VA
Frequency
50-60 Hz
Rated flow
7 L/min (±15 %)
Operating water
pressure
0.03 - 1 Mpa
Testing component
Check the resistance value on the component with multimeter as shown below. Valve water flow
rate should be between 6 - 8 L/min. Each valve coil resistance values should be between 3.3 - 4.2
kΩ.
You can determine the resistance value of the main wash valve by measuring from the blue cable at
5th and white cable at 15th position or the pre-wash valve by measuring from the black cable at
14th and white cable at 15th position in the large socket (refer wiring diagram in section 12) as
shown in below figure. Each valve coil resistance values should be between 3.3 - 4.2 kohm.
