Stop Routine

When the wash cycle concludes, the computer goes into the stop routine. The stop routine consists of a brief countdown and a brief reversing sequence, after which the computer will display “donE.”

WARNING

NEVER insert hands or objects into basket until it has completely stopped. Doing so could result in serious injury.

If no water level is detected, and no rotation is detected from the AC drive, the computer will unlock the door and sound the buzzer for five seconds. The computer will display “dONE” for 25 seconds regardless of whether or not the door is opened.

If the computer cannot unlock the door, it will display “----” while attempting to unlock the door five additional times. If it is still unable to unlock the door after five attempts, it will flash “CANt”/“OPEN.” No further attempts will be made to unlock the door.

Balance Detection

All models come equipped with an inverter drive balance detection system.

Load balance is detected by the inverter drive during the drain step. The V-series computer will make up to seven attempts to balance the load during a drain step.

The computer begins monitoring the balance signal from the AC inverter drive eight seconds after the water level drops below low level. If the balance signal indicates that the wash load is evenly distributed, the computer will start the spin step.

Operation

If the balance signal indicates that the wash load is unbalanced, the computer will slow the cylinder down to wash speed for seven seconds in an attempt to redistribute the load. The computer will make as many as seven attempts, if needed.

If on the seventh attempt the load is not balanced, the machine will light the out-of- balance LED indicator located in the upper left corner of the display (to the left of the first digit) until the next drain step. The machine will then skip the programmed spin and continue to the next programmed step.

If this occurs in the final segment, the machine will begin the Stop routine.

Overtravel Limit Switch

As a fail-safe measure, an overtravel limit switch is installed. The limit switch serves to trigger a rapid stop. This means that if the machine balance “passes” the inverter drive balance detection system at the drain step but the balance switch detects an out-of-balance load condition at the extract step, the basket will brake to a rapid stop.

To reset the control, push the stop button and open the door when the display shows “donE.”

Test Cycle

A test cycle is provided as a means of verifying proper machine operation. Before the test cycle is run, it must be enabled. Refer to the Programming section of this manual for instructions on enabling and running the

test cycle.
