Purpose of this manual

The purpose of this manual is to provide service engineers who are already familiar with the repair procedures
for household washing machines with information regarding washing machines fitted with the EWM09311,
EWM09312, EWX13611 and EWX14931 and electronic control system.
The current electronic appliances manufactured use a heating element with thermal fuses (inside its branches)
as safety, which interrupt if the water level drops below the minimum level permitted.
The incorporated NTC probe contacts have a 2.5 mm pitch.
The manual deals with the following topics:
General characteristics
Control panel and compatibility between washing programmes and options
Setting: Demo, Diagnostics
Alarms
Technical and functional characteristics
Accessing the various components
Please note:
The selector on this platform is not fitted with an ON/OFF switch; to cut off the power supply to the appliance,
the plug must be removed from the power socket.
Low consumption mode
In order to minimise electricity wastage when the cycle is not under way, appliances in this platform offer two
ways of enabling a low consumption mode:
Stand-By
Stand-Off
Stand-By – Triggered after five minutes, during the programme selecting phase (since the washing machine
does not receive any commands from the buttons or the selector dial) and at the end of the
washing cycle. All LEDs are turned off (including the Display, if present), with the exception of
the green LED on the START/PAUSE button, which flashes at a very low rate to signal that the
appliance is powered, but is in low power consumption mode. The appliance exits Stand-By mode
when any one of the buttons is pressed. The control panel lights up and displays the status of the
appliance (last programme selected or end of programme) before Stand-By mode was entered.
Stand-Off – The appliance is in "Stand-Off" (virtual off) status when the selector dial or ON/OFF button is set to
"OFF" or "0" (zero). Indeed this position leads to the cancelling of any programme that might have
been selected, the LEDs being turned off, along with the Display, where featured.
While the main board and the components upstream of the door safety interlock remain powered.
The plug must be removed from the mains socket to cut the power to the appliance.
To ensure the appliance is always safe to operate, even when you turn the selector dial to the
OFF position (to cancel a programme in progress), with a high water level and the motor in motion,
this will only translate to the user interface (control panel) being turned off, while the main board
remains powered to keep the door safety interlock locked until the safety conditions are achieved.
