    · lsd - load sensing detection is used to continually sense the load and automatically adjust the agitation profiles to suit the wash load. It is also used to determine when a maximum capacity profile needs to be used. If additional garments are added during the cycle the washer will adjust accordin...

  • Page 9: Stand By Mode

    Stand by mode if the washing machine has not received any instructions for 15 minutes after being switched on at the power point or after completing the cycle it will automatically go into a low power stand by mode. Before entering the diagnostic or option adjustment modes the machine must be taken ...

  • Page 10: Stator

    Stator the stator resistance has changed to allow for a lower current through the electronics. This stator is not interchangeable with the previous models and can be identified by smaller terminal connections. The resistances of the windings are now 16 ohms per phase. The rotor has not changed and c...

    If the pump's thermal overload goes open circuit the power to the module will be lost, so no fault will be reported. When the thermal device has reset, the module will power up normally. This could take between 3 - 10 minutes depending on the temperature of the pump at the time of failure. The numbe...

    5.0 detailed fault codes introduction the format for fault description in this booklet follows the primary, secondary and tertiary fault source system. These sources have mostly been arranged in order of most likely source of fault but in some cases the sequence has been modified to aid the servicin...

  • Page 18: Fault Descriptions

    Fault descriptions 1. (00000001) motor controller module fault the motor controller module has found a memory error. Primary source - motor controller module. Action - replace motor controller module. 2. (00000010) motor controller module fault an error has been encountered when trying to read the p...

    Secondary source - motor controller module. Action gwl03 if the motor controller module has been changed from one size machine to another, then the size switch settings in the memory will have to be reset. This can be done by entering and exiting the option adjustment mode. Push and hold start/pause...

    36. (00100100) water leak fault the motor controller module has needed to top up the water level more than 4 times during agitate. This is excessive as normally only one or two top ups are required to replace the air that has escaped from a full load during agitate. The most likely cause is that the...

  • Page 21

    Tertiary source - motor controller module. Action activate pump by operating the machine in spin mode. Check pump is rotating. If not operating and primary and secondary checks have been performed then replace motor controller module. 38. (00100110) pressure sensor fault the motor controller module ...
