THREE PHASE MOTOR These washing machines are equipped with three-phase motor. Compared with the commutator motor there are no brushes and the stator is delta connected internally (see diagram). The three-phase motor has a thermoprotector that cuts in turning off the supply to the power part of the electronic card and therefore to the motor.

EEPROMS & DIAGNOSTICS Three variations of Eeprom can be found or used on Power Boards: Production Power Boards have a soldered Eeprom and is not replaceable. Service Power Boards have a socket and the Eeprom is a separate part. Blank Eeproms. All types can be programmed or re-programmed via Emit, using a USB lead, Hardware Key and the relevant Eeprom Writer software.

ADDITIONAL ERROR CODE DETAILS F01: Motor Triac short circuit Check continuity of motor (field coil pins 3-5, split field pins 3-4 and armature pins 1-2). Check efficiency of module connector block J9, motor terminal block, and wiring between motor and edge connector J9. If all above are correct change module or Eeprom as required.
Page 31
Remove edge connector J3 and check wiring and contacts at positions 2, 3 and 4 on J3. If all above OK replace pressure switch, module or Eeprom as required. F08: Heater relay stuck on or pressure switch stuck on full Check wiring to heater and continuity of element (31 ohms approximately).
Page 32
F15: No Drying Possible dryer relay open circuit. F16: N/A F17: No supply to door lock or door open Check door closed and efficiency of door catch. Check efficiency on module edge connector J4. Remove edge connector on module J4 and check wiring and contacts on all connections. If all above are OK replace door lock, module or eeprom as required.
DISMANTLING INSTRUCTIONS SAFETY NOTES 1. Ensure that the appliance is disconnected from the electrical supply before dismantling. 2. Beware of sharp edges on metal panels, plastic mouldings, and pressed parts. 3. Some fixings (especially those into plastic) must be tightened to the correct specification using a suitable torque wrench.
