Spin; 1000 Rpm; Pre-Spin; Oversuds Detection - Fisher & Paykel AquaSmart WL26CW1 Product Information

SPIN

1000 Rpm

The AquaSmart™ washer has an inherently balanced direct-drive DC motor that allows us to
achieve higher spin speeds than with a conventional belt-driven AC motor.

Pre-Spin

Before commencing spin AquaSmart™ will rotate the basket at 45rpm to check that there is not
a severe out-of-balance load. This helps to prevent cabinet denting - if a large out-of-balance
mass is detected then spin will not be attempted. Pre-spin is completed at the end of the wash,
before the first intermediate spin, and before the final spin.

Oversuds Detection

The intelligent electronics in AquaSmart™ can detect excess friction in the basket during
spinning caused by over-sudsing (too much foam) and the machine compensates accordingly.
It will initially stop, drain for a period, and then retry spinning. If over-sudsing is still detected,
the product will stop and report it. Once again, this only possible because of the motor
technology utilised by AquaSmart™.

Intelligent Out of Balance Response

The response of the machine to an out-of-balance load (OOB) is dependant on the cycle
position, and what the machine is doing at the time. The user also has some control over this
via the Setting menu. For example, if an out of balance load is detected at 1000rpm, the
machine will slow down to 700rpm and continue. If it the machine is still out of balance, it will
stop and report an OOB fault, or if the OOB recovery option is set (turned ON in Settings menu),
it will re-fill with water, agitate (to re-distribute the load), drain and spin again.
