Operation

Spin

After the drain sequence ends, the speed of the cylinder increases to the extract speed if the programmed spin time is not zero. The displayed time resumes counting down at one-second intervals.

After the programmed spin time has elapsed, the computer moves on to the fill step in the next segment of the cycle. If the spin is at the end of the cycle, the computer begins the stop routine.

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.

Stop Routine

When the computer concludes the wash cycle or when the Stop key is pressed while a cycle is in progress, 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.

Once “dONE” is displayed, open the door by pressing and holding the door unlock button as described earlier. Once the door is opened, the computer display will show the most recent cycle number.

The machine is now ready to begin another wash cycle.

Note: If the stop routine seems excessively long, check for “FULL” or “rotA” messages. If this occurs, contact a qualified service technician.

Balance Detection

Each model comes equipped with an inverter drive balance detection system. Load balance is detected by the inverter drive during any drain step that immediately precedes a spin 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 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.

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 machines 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 drain step is complete. The machine will then ignore the programmed spin and use a safe spin speed (not to exceed 85 G’s) for the extract step, provided programmed spin time is not zero.

If the load cannot be properly distributed, the computer skips the spin and moves on to the next segment. If the segment is at the end of a cycle program, the computer goes into the stop routine. The out-of-balance LED indicator will remain lit until the door is opened.
