DETECTION
During Drain
Routine
During
the Drain Routine, the
water level is
checked continuously.
Normal drain
will occur until the
pressure
switch senses no water in the wash tub and there
is no foam
(suds).
The
drain
pump
will
operate
an additional
15
seconds after the
pressure
switch
reports no water
or
foam.
lf
the drain
routine
operates for
four
(4)
minutes
and
the
pressure
switch senses any
foam
(suds)
in
the
wash
tub, the Central Control Unit
will
start
the
"Kill-Foam"
Routine.
(See
description
of this
Routine
below.)
After
the
Kill-foam Routine is concluded, the Drain
Routine will restart.
lf,
after
four
(4)
minutes the
pressure
switch still senses foam
in
the
wash tub, the Central Control
Unit
will
go
into Failure Mode. The digital display
will
show,
F02.
During
Spin
(Extract)
Routine
During
the Spin/Extract
Routine the water
level
is checked
continuously.
lf,
during this
routine,
pressure
switch senses the
presence
of
foam
(suds)
in
the wash tub,
the Central Control Unit
will
stop the drive motor
and
the basket
will
stop spinning.
The electronic control
will count the
number
of spin
repetitions
that are attempted due to
foam
(suds).
There are a
maximum of three
(3)
attempts for
each Spin/Extract
Routine.
lf
count is equal
to
0
-
the
Kill-Foam
Routine is
performed
lf count is
greater
than 0
-
the Central
Control Unit will
wait
until the
pressure
switch does
not
sense
foam
in the wash tub and
restart
the Spin/Extract
Routine.
Kill-Foam Routine
1. The Remaining Time
counter
is stopped.
2. The
digital display shows
Sud.
3. The
Drain Pump
is
turned
OFF.
4. The
Central Control Unit
will fill the wash tub
with 1
gal. (4
L) of cold
water.
5. While
the tub
is filling the basket
will
tumble
1 sec. ON/15 sec. OFF.
6.
Once the tub
is filled, the drive motor will turn OFF
and the basket
will rest without any
movement for
five
(5)
minutes
7. After
the
five
(5)
minute rest, the remaining time counter
will restart and
the digital display
will show the remaining time
left in the routine.
NOTE: lf the Kill-Foam routine
was initiated during a Spin/Extract
Routine, the tumbling
action
will be reduced
to a cycle
of 3 sec. ON/13 sec. OFF.
lf
,
at
the end of either
the Drain or
Spin/
Extract Routines, a suds condition still
remains, the digital display
will show Sud.
