Diagnostic Codes
The Diagnostic Codes are identified when the severity level of the abnormality detected is higher and service may be required.
When a problem with the dryer is detected a Diagnostic Code is assigned, and can be displayed. The Control Board will not log multiple same codes per cycle; however, it will log as many Diagnostics as possible for the machine to continue running.
Accessing Diagnostic Codes with 13 Key Membrane Press Air Fluff and Time (^) to enter Service Mode. Press the Wrinkle Release key to access the Diagnostic Codes. Scroll through the Diagnostic Codes by pressing the Temperature (^) key. The first time the key is pressed the newest code will be displayed. Each additional key press shows the next code. Once all the codes have been displayed a “d” is displayed and the process repeats. If there are no Diagnostic Codes available, “00” will be displayed for the Diagnostic Code.
Accessing Diagnostic Codes with 15 Key Membrane Press Air Fluff and Time (+) to enter Service Mode. Press the Wrinkle Release key to access the Diagnostic Codes. Scroll through the Diagnostic Codes by pressing the Temperature (^). The first time the key is pressed the newest code will be displayed. Each additional key press shows the next code. Once all the codes have been displayed a “d” is displayed and the process repeats. If there are no Diagnostic Codes available, “00” will be displayed for the Diagnostic Code.
There will be no multiple occurrences of either a diagnostic code or help code generated in the same cycle reported on the list. But if the same code occurs in repeated cycles, it will be registered.
