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 cycle select knob. The display will show a “d”. Rotating the 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 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 Indicator LED turned “ON”. If no cycle is currently running, a code generated during the previous cycle will be displayed with the Spin Indicator LED turned “ON”.
