Troubleshooting Procedures

!WARNING

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death; disconnect power to washer before servicing, unless testing requires power.

Display Diagnostic Codes

The diagnostic code display can be toggled ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ from Service Mode by pressing the Rinse & Spin key and rotating the Rotary Cycle Selector knob. The display will show a “d”.

Rotating the Rotary Cycle Selector knob in either direction will cycle through the list of codes one code at a time with no wrap. Once an initial direction is selected by the user (either Clockwise or Counterclockwise), subsequent movements of the knob in the same direction will show older codes. If the user changes direction and turns the Rotary Cycle Selector knob in the opposite direction, the more recent code will be displayed. If rotation is continued to the limits of the list, the display will remain at the top or the end of the list. A pair of dashes “- -” will be displayed at the end of the list of codes, when the control reaches the top, it will again show “d”.

A code generated during the current cycle will be displayed with the Spin Speed LED turned ‘ON’. If no cycle is currently running, a code generated during the previous cycle will be displayed with the Spin Speed LED turned ‘ON’.

Access Other Features

While a diagnostic code is displayed, if the Rotary Cycle Selector knob is pressed and held, the machine will display the number of cycles since the diagnostic code occurred.

Clear Diagnostic Codes

To clear the diagnostic codes list, press the Delay and Chime keys for 3 seconds while viewing the list.
