10.0 USER WARNINGS
There are a number of warnings which are generally caused by the user or poor installation. These warnings should be corrected by the user. Smartdrive signals user warnings by flashing LEDs and a rippling set of 5 beeps repeated every 6 seconds. This is the same tone that is heard when Smartdrive is first plugged into the mains power. Some warnings are indicated by the wash progress LEDs flashing and no user warning tone, (Restart or Recycle mode). Most of this information is available to the user in the ‘Use and Care Manual’
10.1Insufficient Hot Water (Hot Water LED flashing)
This warning is indicated by the hot water LED flashing. Smartdrive will also be making a rippling set of 5 beeps repeated every 6 seconds. The hot water is not connected or the water temperature is too low. NB. This warning mode does not cause the product to PAUSE.
1.Check that the hot water is connected and that the tap is turned on. If your product is set for 'controlled cold' hot water may still be required for a cold wash.
2.Check that the water temperature is not too low. The water temperature may need to be 60oC for a hot wash.
3.Check that the hot water inlet is not connected to the cold water supply.
4.Check that the filter on the hot inlet hose is not blocked.
5.Motor Controller.(Phase 1 to 4). Thermistor (Phase 5). The temperature sensor has failed. Replace motor controller.(Phase 1 to 4) Check the resistance of the thermistor. Resistance is 12.5k ohms at 20oC. Replace if faulty. (Phase 5).
6.Check the size is set correctly.
NB. It is possible to get this warning when washing with cold water if the cold wash temperature is set at 20oC or more. Wash temperatures may be adjusted, see section 7.1.
10.2Insufficient Cold Water (Cold Water LED flashing)
This warning is indicated by the cold water LED flashing. Smartdrive will also be making a rippling set of 5 beeps repeated every 6 seconds and the product will be paused. The cold water is not connected or the flow rate is too low.
1.Check that the cold water is connected and that the tap is turned on.
2.Check that the flow rate is not too low. The product requires a minimum flow rate of 3 litres per minute. Check that the filter on the cold inlet hose is not blocked. If the installation has a flow rate below 5 litres per minute the flow may be improved by using large bore inlet hoses p.n. 426123.
3.Taps may be connected the wrong way round.
4. Cold water temperature exceeds 35oC. NB. Phase
5.Phase
6.Phase 5. Thermistor. Check the resistance of the thermistor. Resistance is 12.5k ohms at 20oC. Replace if faulty.
7.Check the size is set correctly.
