DIAGNOSTIC CODES:
When a problem with the wash system is
detected a diagnostic code is assigned
and logged into the control board
memory with the last cycle count at which
it occurred. Diagnostic codes are
generally more severe than a Help code.
In some cases, when the washer shuts
down, something shall be displayed on
the display until the consumer presses a
key or opens the door. See the table for
specific actions or references to where
the proper action is defined.
Accessing Diagnostic Codes
After the machine is in the service mode,
pressing presoak key will display a d
and turn the LED on above the presoak
key. The diagnostic codes can be viewed
by using the arrow keys. The down arrow
will go down the list.
The first time the down arrow key is
pushed, the newest code is displayed
The up arrow will go up the list one code
each time it is pushed with no wrap. The
topmost will be a d. The bottommost
will be the oldest code. If there is no
diagnostic codes available, - - will be
displayed for the diagnostic code. If the
code happened on the previous cycle,
then the rightmost dot should be turned
on.
