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”.
