Alliance Laundry Systems F232201R4 Error Recovery Routine

Operation

Error Recovery Routine

When the control detects an error, it will stop running the current step and display a message to indicate what type of error was found:

•“FILL” indicates that the washer-extractor did not fill within the allotted time.

•“EMTY” indicates that the washer-extractor did not drain in the allotted time.

•“TEMP” indicates that the temperature sensor has recognized a temperature above the programmed value.

•“MEMR” indicates that the control has detected a problem with the cycle information. The cycle must be edited.

•“WATER” indicates that the WE-6 control senses low, medium, or high water level at the end of the stop routine.

•“DRTEMP” indicates that the WE-6 has detected water temperature over 160°F in a “drain to reuse” step. Instead of draining to a tank, the control gives this error message. The cycle must be edited so the temperature is below 160°F upon entering a reuse drain step (“Da” or “Db”).

All outputs remain off while the message displays, and the door cannot be unlocked.

NOTE: The WE-6 control will not allow the door to be opened while there is water in the washer- extractor.

Each of these errors is considered to be recoverable. The operator has two minutes to respond to the error condition (except in the case of “WATER”). During this time, the control will turn the signal (buzzer) relay on and off at the rate of one second on and one second off to alert the operator to the error condition. The washer-extractor may be restarted by pressing the Start keypad. Pressing the Start keypad will restart the cycle step for the originally programmed time period. “WATER” will remain displayed until the error is corrected. The cycle may be aborted by pressing the Stop keypad. After aborting the cycle, the control will go to the normal stop routine. If the operator does not respond to the error condition within the allocated two minutes, the control will automatically abort the cycle.

NOTE: The “TEMP” alarm can be recovered only after the temperature falls below the alarm level.

Certain error conditions are considered to be non- recoverable:

•If the door opens during a cycle, the control will display “DOOR.” The operator must close the door.

Then, after the control has detected that the door is closed, it will automatically abort the cycle and go to the normal stop routine.

•“OVERHT” will be displayed when the control detects an open or shorted temperature input circuit or temperatures are outside of the washer- extractor’s allowable limits. Contact a service technician.
