Table 2
The inner basket starts agitating during the wash water
fill. A column of air is trapped in a pressure bulb and
hose. The air pressure continues to increase as the
inner basket fills with water until it is great enough to
activate the pressure switch which then causes the
wash fill to stop.
The agitate cycle tumbles the clothing in a clockwise
direction for a period of 15 seconds, pauses for nine
seconds and then tumbles the clothing in a
counterclockwise direction for 15 seconds. This
agitation continues until the end of the wash cycle.
The machine stops agitating and turns on the pump or
drain valve which removes the wash water.
Upon completion of the wash cycle, the machine goes
into a rinse cycle. Fresh cold water is brought into the
inner basket via the mixing valve until the pressure
switch shuts off the water while agitating. The rinse
cycle consists of agitation for a predetermined amount
of time then a spin mode with the pump running where
the machine goes into a series of 4 short 500 RPM
spins. Two of these rinse cycles will normally take
place with a third extra rinse cycle being optional.
After all the rinse cycles have been completed, the

Introduction

Technical (Washer)
The basic operational system of this washer consists of
the electronic control, the inverter control, pressure
switch, water valves, electric pump (or drain valve)
and A.C. motor.
The electronic control performs all control and timing
functions like the timer in a topload washer. The
electronic control sends simple speed and output
commands to the inverter control via serial
communication. The electronic control powers the
door lock, pump (or drain valve) and the inverter
control.
The inverter control powers the A.C. motor and
performs all motor control functions. The inverter
control also powers the water and dispenser valves and
passes the pressure switch status to the electronic
control. The inverter control is powered through the
door switch, door lock switch and electronic control.
The inverter control also alerts the electronic control to
any errors in the motor.
The inverter control uses a speed sensor on the motor
to measure the drum RPM. Before entering any spin
step the inverter control measures the RPM of the
drum to sense out-of-balance. The inverter control will
try to redistribute the clothes if an out-of-balance
condition exists the inverter control will limit the spin
speed to several speeds depending on the severity of
the out-of-balance condition. If the out-of-balance
condition is severe enough the inverter control will
limit speed to 90 RPM and will not spin.
NOTE: An additional out-of-balance switch is used
to detect any out-of-balance condition during spins.
If this switch opens during a spin step, the inverter
control immediately stops and then restarts the
spin.
