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 Rotary Cycle
Selector knob. The display will show a “d”.
Rotating the Rotary 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 Rotary Cycle Selector 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 Speed LED turned ‘ON’. If no
cycle is currently running, a code generated during the
previous cycle will be displayed with the Spin Speed
LED turned ‘ON’.
Access Other Features
While a diagnostic code is displayed, if the Rotary
Cycle Selector
knob is pressed and held, the machine
will display the number of cycles since the diagnostic
code occurred.
