Water Valve Test

When in diagnostic mode on IW machines, pressing the HOW DIRTY down button will turn the
Cold water valve on. Pressing the HOW DIRTY up button will turn the hot water valve on. You
need to hold the buttons down to keep the water entering the machine. This is also good to use
when installing machines as it takes the shock out of the fittings and seals and allows checking for
leaks on the inlet hoses, both machine end and tap or super-tub end.
Pressing each button once will activate the valve. To de-activate valve press the same button
again.
Caution: Do not leave the machine unattended when either or both valves are operating.

Drain Pump Test

When in diagnostic mode the FABRIC CARE button turns the drain pump on or off. This feature
can be helpful if the bowl is still full of water.

Restart Feature

The Restart feature on the Intuitive can be accessed when in diagnostic mode, pressing the
OPTIONS button will bring up the CONTROL OPTION screen. The LCD screen will display the
following:
The machine leaves the factory with the
RESTART set to the ON position (as shown
here), which is indicated in the screen by the
word RESTART highlighted. To turn the
RESTART feature OFF, push the HOME button.
This will remove the highlight from the word
RESTART. When the machine is being
serviced, it is more convenient to turn the
RESTART feature OFF. This will allow any fault
in the system to show up immediately.
With the RESTART feature on:
1. If a fault occurs in the machine, the diagnostic system will detect it. However, instead of
displaying a fault code immediately, the machine will try to RESTART.
2. If the fault was only of temporary nature, the machine will restart and finish the cycle.
3. If there is a continuous fault the machine will try to RESTART a number of times. This
process could take up to 8 minutes depending on the type of fault. After this, if the machine
still cannot restart, the fault code is displayed and the machine will beep continuously.
Whether or not the RESTART feature is on is indicated during normal use of the machine as
follows:
1. If none of the 5 green "HOW DIRTY" LED's are on, the RESTART feature is on.
2. If the 5 green "HOW DIRTY" LED's are flashing, the RESTART feature is off.
NOTE - This feature is designed as a service aid only and should be left ON in the customer's
home. To return to normal operation, and to reset the RESTART feature to the factory setting,
switch the machine off at the wall or disconnect from the mains supply.
