Troubleshooting Procedures
!WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death; disconnect power to washer before servicing, unless testing requires power.
Quick Spin Test
While in Service Mode, press Delay and Rinse & Spin keys to start a Quick
Spin Test. Quick Spin Test steps follow:
•Start spinning, and after reaching a maximum spin speed.
•Stay at maximum spin speed for 2 minutes and stop Quick Spin Test.
Hold Quick Spin Step
If the Rotary Cycle Selector knob is pressed during the Quick Spin Test, the machine will hold
at the next highest index speed for 10 minutes (1 minute on early MAH8700’s). At the end of ‘Hold’ time, the machine will resume and finish the Quick Spin Test. To cancel the ‘Hold’ and allow the Quick Spin Test to continue, press the Delay and Rinse & Spin keys.
¤Fast Time Down Test
While any test or cycle is running in Service Mode, pressing the
Wash/Rinse Temp key will advance the program to the next cycle stage. Cycle stages are located at key locations in the machine operation. As the program is advanced it will index as follows: The end of each fill (the same as the beginning of a tumble session for Wash, or Rinse); at the beginning of a drain session; at the beginning of a spin session (at this position, check the water level, if over reset level, drain first before entering the spin function); at the beginning of a fill session; at the beginning of Bleach fill; at the beginning of Fabric Softener fill; and every 3 minutes during the tumble sessions (Wash and Rinses).
Quick Service Cycle
While in Service Mode, pressing the Wash/Rinse Temp and Soil Level keys for
3 seconds will start a Quick Service Cycle. This will be a quick check of all systems. If display shows “od” then open and close door. Pressing Spin Speed key will advance to the next cycle. The following steps are performed: Display shows “SC”.
1.Hot water for 5 seconds and then turn off.
2.Cold water for 5 seconds and then turn off.
3.Bleach valve for 5 seconds and then turn off.
4.Softener dispenser using cold water and bleach water for 5 seconds and then turn off.
5.Turn ‘ON’ Cold valves until the control detects proper water level. During this time, tumble at 45 rpm for 5 seconds in a clockwise direction, pause for 2 seconds, tumble at 45 rpm for 5 seconds in a counterclockwise direction, pause for 2 seconds. Continue pattern until the water level is detected.
Minimum time for this segment to be 5 seconds. After water height is achieved, continue tumble pattern for another 14 seconds. If the washer is equipped, turn ‘ON’ heater for first 5 seconds of this tumble pattern. Advance
the washer to next step if water is not connected to machine.
6.Drain and spin to maximum speed. Machine will achieve maximum speed using the safest, fastest method.
7.Display a “PA” (Passed) continuously for 5 seconds if no diagnostic codes were logged during the test. Washer will return to the normal Service Mode at the end of the 10 second period.
The “SC” in the display will blink as an indication of failure, and continue blinking until the Quick Service Cycle test has reached the end. Any diagnostic code logged during this test will result in failure of the test, but will not necessarily stop the test. During the Quick Service Cycle, pressing the Spin Speed key will advance to the next step. Pressing the Rinse
&Spin and Spin Only keys will suspend the machine at the current step for up to 10 minutes or until Delay and Chime keys are pressed. All LED’s should flash ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ while the system is suspended or on hold.
LED/Switch Test
While in Service Mode, press the Delay key to start a LED/Switch Test. All the LED’s can be toggled or slewed by pressing the key associated with the LED or set of LED’s. All keys (including the Power Off button) must be pressed within 5 minutes for this test to pass. “PA” will be displayed for five (5) seconds once all keys have been pressed and the test is completed. Following 20 seconds of inactivity at any point, this test will exit without any display. The Power Off button must be pressed twice within 30 seconds to cancel this test.
