Section 2. Washer Controls Overview
If the Start/Pause key is pressed during
the wash cycle the washer shall stop all
the functions of the washer, placing the
washer in the Idle Mode. The Start/Pause
LED will flash indicating the pause mode.
The current place in the cycle will be
saved.
If the Start/Pause key is pressed the door
will not be unlocked until the spin speed
is 0 rpm.
If the Start/Pause key is pressed while
flashing (in pause mode), the machine
shall return to the start of the cycle step
when paused and the time displayed be
recalculated to the start of the cycle step.
The Start/Pause LED will stay on
whenever the machine is running in a
cycle. Note: The door must be closed
prior to resuming the cycle.
BLEACH DISPENSE
The Bleach Fill occurs 2 minutes prior to
the end of the wash portion of the cycle. A
bleach fill consists of turning the bleach
water valve and the appropriate fill water
valve(s) on until the water reaches high
water level or for 24 seconds, whichever
comes first. This is to ensure the bleach is
used completely during this wash. The
fill temperature during the Bleach fill shall
be based on the user selections. If stain
cycle is selected then bleach fill and final
rinse are based on user selections. If stain
cycle is not used, then only the final rinse
is affected.
REDISTRIBUTION
As the machine is accelerating into spin, if
it detects that the clothes load is
unbalanced and would cause excessive
vibration, it will decelerate and tumble the
clothes in an attempt to redistribute them
in a more uniform manner so that
vibration is reduced.
The machine control commands a
distribution profile speed ramp from 0
rpm to 85 rpm at the beginning of each
high speed (above 100 rpm) spin. When
the washer reaches 85 rpm, the machine
control monitors the Tach Input to
determine if the speed varies through one
revolution of the spinner basket. If it
senses a high enough variation in speed
(suggesting an out-of-balance condition in
the clothing load), it will drop the spinner
speed to 0 rpm and force a short reverse
tumble to redistribute the clothing load
before resuming the spin. If any of the
out-of-balance switches trip and open the
out-of-balance input circuit at a speed
below 500 rpm, the machine control will
also drop the speed to 0 rpm and force
the reverse tumble to redistribute the
clothing load before resuming the spin.
SUDS DETECTION
The suds detection feature tries to
eliminate excessive suds during the main
wash or rinse cycles. Suds detection is
disabled during a stain cycle tumble
pattern.
If suds are detected, the estimated time
left on the wash cycle will be modified to
account for 4 additional rinses.
The washer will try twice in early spins
and 21 times when in the final spin.
LCD Washer: If four out of seven cycles
have suds detected, Too many Suds
detected should be displayed on the
screen.
LED Washer: If suds are still detected, the
rinse LED shall blink, 3 seconds on, 3 sec-
onds off and "sd" will be displayed.
TUMBLE FLUSH (Two types of flush)
Wash tumble is a higher tumble speed
than normal while the machine is filled
with water. The purpose of this function is
to clean the machine. Rinse tumble flush
is performed during the final rinse to
reduce the chance of suds creation.
