Customer Viewable Codes


There are three codes viewable by the customer

Long Fill (Wash LED ON)Long Drain (Spin LED ON)

Lid Lock (Lid Lock LED Flashing)

Non Intuitive Control


Note: Non Intuitive Controlhelps keep customers from inadvertently getting into the test mode

Test Modes

Diagnostic Test Modes Allow service tech to test and verify all

inputs to the machine control electronics

Do a quick and overall check of the washer before going to a specific test—Don’t overlook the obvious


Access Service Diagnostics


Activation MUST be done within 6 seconds

Activation of Test Mode


Correct Activation:00 and all lights flashing on/off

Note: To Exit Test at any timePress Power Button. Washer will automatically revert to normal operation after 5 minutes of inactivity

Mode of Operation


Test Mode will be identified with the LEDs and/or the appropriate number in the display

Fault Codes Display


F#-type of FaultE#-component system where fault is located

Fault Code Display: displays last 4 codes. Turn CCW 1 turn at a time to view the most recent to oldest

Press/Hold START key 3 sec. to clear all faults

Note: a fault/error code will be removed from the memory if it does not reoccur after 10 consecutive wash cycles

Fault Codes


Automatic Test


Automatic Test: Best done at the end of service or at completion of the installation of the product to make sure that everything is plugged in and to verify proper operation

Turn the cycle selector knob until Spin Light is on and/or 02 is in the display

Automatic Test


Manual Test

Main Control BoardConnectors and Pins

Valve Resistance Test

Resistance values of all valves are between 890-1300 OhmsThis will test the electrical connections and the valves themselves

Shifter Test

Shifter Voltages/Resistance Checks

Shifter Motor Control AC output 120 VACShifter-Switch DC output

Shifter Motor resistance—J 16 pins 1-2 is 2K-3K ohms-Checks the resistance through the harness and shifter motor

Always ensure plugs connections are secure
