MOTOR CONTROL UNIT ERROR

 

 

 

 

 

The main control has detected a short in the Motor Control Unit. If a failure occurs during

 

 

high-speed spin, the door will be unlocked after three minutes.

F/07

 

 

 

Possible Causes / Procedure

 

 

1.

Unplug washer or disconnect power.

 

 

2.

Check wire harness connections between the drive motor and the Motor Control Unit

 

 

 

(MCU), and between the MCU and the Central Control Unit (CCU).

 

 

3.

Plug in washer or reconnect power.

 

 

4.

Check the MCU by looking for operations of the drive motor.

 

 

5.

Check the drive motor for powered rotations.

 

 

 

 

 

OVERFLOW CONDITION

 

 

 

 

 

If the overflow contact on the pressure switch is closed for more than 60 seconds, an Overflow

 

 

Condition will occur. In an overflow condition, the door remains locked and the drain pump

 

 

runs constantly, even if PAUSE/CANCEL is pressed twice and the display is cleared. Turn off

 

 

hot and cold water faucets and unplug the unit before servicing.

F/09

 

 

 

 

Possible Causes / Procedure

 

 

 

 

1.

Check the drain hose and make sure it is not plugged or kinked.

 

 

2.

Unplug washer or disconnect power.

 

 

3.

Check wire harness connections to the drain pump, pressure switch, and Central Control

 

 

 

Unit (CCU).

 

 

4.

Check/clean drain pump filter of foreign objects.

 

 

5.

Check for drain pump failure.

 

 

6.

Check the inlet valve for proper shut off.

 

 

7.

Check the pressure switch for proper operation.

 

 

 

 

 

MOTOR CONTROL UNIT (MCU) HEAT SINK THERMAL TRIP

 

 

 

 

 

If the thermal protector on the MCU heat sink gets too hot, it will open the thermal protector

 

 

on the heat sink which will stop motor functions and an “F/10” will be displayed.

F/10

 

Possible Causes / Procedure

 

 

1.

Check for proper installation, verify the unit is not located near a source of heat and has

 

 

 

proper ventilation.

 

 

2.

Unplug washer or disconnect power.

 

 

3.

Check wire harness connections to the MCU, the motor, and Central Control Unit (CCU).

 

 

4.

Check the drive system for any worn or failed components.

 

 

5.

Plug in washer or reconnect power.

 

 

6.

Check the MCU by looking for operations of the drive motor.

 

 

7.

Check the drive motor for powered rotations.
