Wash Time; Program End; Water Fill Process; Wait State - Maytag MFS Series Programming Manual

6.9. WASH TIME

Once the program has been started, the remaining cycle time is displayed (less fill time).
The total wash time = programmed time (1) + the extra time (2+3+4)
1. The programmed time of the processes.
2. The extra time for adding water.
3. The extra time for draining (if the water is not drained in 30 sec and the extended drain
time is started)
4. The coast down time at the end of the spin sequence.

6.10. PROGRAM END

The time on the display counts down until 0.
The Door Lock will be released. You can open the Door when UNLOCK picture appears on the
Display.
Open the door and unload the machine.
The Message THANK YOU FOR USING MAYTAG WASHERS is shown and when it disappears,
the machine is ready to start a new wash cycle.

6.11. WATER FILL PROCESS

Depending on the target water temperature, the cold and hot inlet valves will be opened.
The water level is measured by an electronic water level sensor.
The Temperature Balance function, in the Graphic Control Wash Computer, will control the
water temperature until the target temperature is reached.
In the standard wash tables you will find a Normal Low and Normal High water level.
These are the standard water levels :
- The Normal Low water level is used for the Prewash and Wash sequence.
- The Normal High water level is used for the Rinse and Final Rinse sequence.

6.12. WAIT STATE

It can occur that the normal machine operation has been interrupted and that you have to wait until
the Graphic Control Wash Computer allows you to go on.
You can recognize the wait state by a display that shows WAIT and a decreasing counter.
This will occur when the power has been switched off and on during a running wash cycle.
As the software doesn't know how fast the motor was spinning, a delay time is respected before
the machine can be restarted.
