Fast Time Down Test
While any test or cycle is running in
Service Mode, pressing the Temperature
key will advance the program to the next
cycle stage.
Cycle stages are located at key locations in the
machine operation. As the program is advanced it
will index as follows: The end of each fill (the
same as the beginning of a tumble session for
Wash, or Rinse); at the beginning of a drain
session; at the beginning of a spin session (at this
position, check the water level, if over reset level,
drain first before entering the spin function); at the
beginning of a fill session; at the beginning of
Bleach fill; at the beginning of Fabric Softener fill;
and every 3 minutes during the tumble sessions
(Wash, and Rinses).
Quick Service Cycle
While in Service Mode, pressing the
Temperature and Soil Level key for
3seconds will start a Quick Service Cycle.
This will be a quick check of all systems. If display
shows od then open and close door. Pressing
Spin Speed will advance to the next cycle. The
following steps are performed: Display shows
“SC”.
1. Hot water for 5 seconds and then turn off.
2. Cold water for 5 seconds and then turn off.
3. Bleach valve for 5 seconds and then turn off.
4. Dispenser softener using cold water and
bleach water for 5 seconds and then turn off.
5. Turn on Cold valves until the control detects
proper water level. During this time, tumble at
45 rpm for 5seconds in a clockwise direction,
pause for 2seconds, tumble at 45 rpm for 5
seconds in a counterclockwise direction,
pause for 2 seconds. Continue pattern until
the water level is detected. Minimum time for
this segment to be 5 seconds. After water
height is achieved, continue tumble pattern
for another 14 seconds. If the washer is
equipped, turn on heater for first 5 seconds of
this tumble pattern. Advance the washer to
next step if water is not connected to
machine.
6. Drain and spin to maximum speed. Machine
will achieve maximum speed using the safest,
fastest method.

a
“PA” (Passed) continuously for 5
seconds I no diagnostic codes were logged
during the test. Washer will return to the
normal Service Mode at the end of the 10
second period.
The “SC” in the display will blink as an indication of
failure, and continue blinking until the quick service
cycle test has reached the end. Any diagnostic code
logged during this test will result in failure of the test,
but will not necessarily stop the test. During the Quick
Service Cycle, pressing the Spin Speed key will
advance to the next step. Pressing
the Rinse&Spin and Spin Only
keys will suspend the machine at
the current step for up to 10 minutes or until Delay
Start and Chime are pressed again. All LED’s should
flash on and off while the system is suspended or on
hold.
