  • Page 11: The Unique Aquasmart™ Wash

    478182 THE UNIQUE AQUASMART™ WASH The AquaSmart™ is a EcoSmart™ based washing machine that has two modes of washing, High Efficiency & Conventional. It is essentially a front loader (high efficiency mode) and a top loader (conventional mode) washer in one. Both washing modes start the same way, with a detergent activating wash.

  • Page 16: Detergent Dispensing

    478182 4.6.1 Detergent Dispensing During fill, the detergent valve is also energised. This allows a proportion of the inlet water to flow into the detergent dispenser. The flow rate through the detergent valve is dependent on the inlet water pressure, but it is less than the flow rate of water entering the machine.

  • Page 17: Inlet Nozzle

    478182 The Softener valve can be tested in diagnostics (refer to Section 6.1.2 for LCD models, or Section 7.2 for LED models). 4.6.4 Inlet Nozzle In addition to its design, which ensures excellent rinse water distribution, the nozzle shares an important relationship with the inlet valve assembly and the dispensing system as described above.

  • Page 18: Rotor

    478182 Testing the Stator If the stator needs to be tested we would first recommend testing the resistance of the windings from the harness end that is connected to the Motor Control Module. (Refer to Section 5.2). Note: Ensure that the Rotor or basket is stationary when measurements are made. Testing the stator from the console The resistance of each individual winding is approximately 19Ω, however when testing the stator from the console we are testing across two windings therefore the resistance should be approx.

  • Page 19: Rotor Position Sensor

    478182 Current Black Previous White 4.8.3 Rotor Position Sensor One of the inputs that the Motor Control Module needs in order to determine which switches to turn on is the position of the rotor. The rotor position sensor (RPS) supplies this information. The rotor position sensor (RPS) is a printed circuit board that contains three Hall Sensors, which detect the magnetic field of the individual...

  • Page 20: Smart Pump

    478182 Note: This tester does not test all the functionality of the RPS. It tests the 3 outputs but cannot indicate all faults, for example if a capacitor on the RPS is cracked. The rotor may also be tested with a RPS Tester. A complete rotation will test all the magnets. If the rotor has cracked or chipped magnets it will work fine, and does not need to be replaced.

  • Page 21: Rotor And Stator

    478182 4.9.4 Rotor and Stator The rotor and stator magnetically interact with each other in order to convert electrical energy into rotational movement of the rotor Rotor The rotor assembly is a complete unit that is permanently fixed into the pump housing. The resulting cavity is charged with water, which acts as a lubricant.

    478182 4.10 Lid Lock AquaSmart™ uses the same lid lock that is used on previous machines, and is locked during the complete cycle. The Lid Lock symbol (padlock) appears in the top right hand corner of the screen on LCD models, and in the centre left next to the power button on the control panel on LED models, letting you know at a glance if you can open...

  • Page 26: Neck Ring

    478182 4.11 Neck Ring The neck ring incorporates wells used for the fabric, detergent and bleach dispensing. The neck ring is clipped in place to the outer bowl. It also restrains the re-circulating nozzle. It is important that the neck ring is secured correctly to the outer bowl, as it affects bump detect (out of balance detection).

  • Page 27: Detection Of Inner Basket Float Off Point - Basket Check

    478182 4.12.1 Detection of Inner Basket Float Off Point – Basket Check During fill the inner basket will rotate to ensure that the clothes are evenly saturated with water. When the chosen water level is reached, and before the agitate cycle is started, the machine will carry out inner basket float checks (basket check).

  • Page 28: Suspension Rods

    478182 4.13 Suspension Rods The suspension rods on AquaSmart™ need to be more robust than the suspension rods used on previous EcoSmart™ machines. The top bracket has lugs to which the straps from the neck ring attach. A rubber washer sits midway down the rod, this helps detergent residue from running down the rod and into the grease filled damper.

  • Page 29: Agitator Low Profile

    478182 4.14 Agitator Low Profile The unique low profile agitator works well in both the High Efficiency and Conventional modes. In the High Efficiency mode, the clothes have greater contact with the agitator due to the low water level, and the agitator ensures a high level of clothes turnover. In Conventional mode, the clothes are completely submerged in the water and the curving steep side walls and raised shoulders of the wash plate vanes create enough inward and upward movement to keep the clothes turning over even when there is reduced contact with the agitator.
