Front Loading Washing Machine Basics 1. Front Load Theory Front loading washing machines get laundry cleaner and use less water than top load machines. Cleaning is achieved with the mechanical action of the drum lifting the laundry up and dropping it into the wash water in the bottom of the drum.

rum Wa 4. Major Functions ① Washing The laundry is tumbled during the wash cycle by the rotation of the drum and the drum paddles. This process is more gentle on clothing than turning them with an agitator. ② Rinsing Rinsing cleanly washes out detergent and dirt removed from the laundry after washing cycle.

Page 24
rum Wa 2-4. How to Control Voltage (during abnormal operation) 1) Voltage Control ① Normal Voltage DC-link voltage after wave rectification is directly impressed to IPM as 310 ~ 330V. When motor starts operation, DC voltage changes with energy consumed by motor and/ or counter electromotive force of motor.
Page 25
2-6. Door Switch 1) Door Switch Operation Door Locking 3seconds after bi-metal operation of door S/W, pulse of 20msec duty on solenoid is impressed twice until door is locked. Bi-metal begins operation simultaneously as start button is pressed. Door Unlocking Bi-metal plate of door S/W is turned off and pulse of 20msec duty on solenoid is impressed until door is unlocked.
Page 26
rum Wa 2-7. Load Sensing 1) Load Sensing to Determine Water Level Load sensing is carried out when the Everyday wear, Sanitary, and Towels/bedding wash cycles are selected. Sensing is administered when the laundry is dry before starting the wash cycle. Once a wash cycle is started, the motor tumbles at 75 r.p.m.
Page 27
3. Functions per Cycle 3-1. Washing Cycle 1) Classification of Washing Pre-wash uses only cold water. It is the default option on the Heavily Soiled program and can be selected as an option on all cycles except Quick wash and Wool/Handwash. The main wash cycle time and water consumption for Everyday wear, Towel/Bedding, and Sanitary programs are set according to the motor load during the load sensing phase.
Page 28
rum Wa 3-2. Rinsing Cycle 1) Water Supply Cycle Only cold water is supplied in rinsing cycle. Only cold water is supplied in rinsing cycle. In the final rinse, fabric softener is added by opening both the cold water inlet valve V/V, and pre-washing V/V at and the pre-wash inlet valve V/V at the same time.
Page 29
3-3. Main Spin Cycle 1) Drain Drain set time is 1 minute. When draining is complete, 1 minute is reduced from the overall cycle. 2) Balance Spin ① Balancing the laundry : The machine will tumble clockwise and counterclockwise at 45r.p.m. During this time, the machine is calculating and trying to correct the level of unbalance in the drum based on the data from the load on the motor.
Page 30
rum Wa 3-4. Ending the program 1) Clothes release The motor is tumbled slowly to prevent wrinkling by loosening the laundry attached to the inner wall of drum after completion of main spin. Releasing is carried out for 30sec. 2) Ending After completion of the clothes releasing phase, the buzzer is sounded for 10 seconds and power is turned off.
Page 31
4. Button Functions 4-1. Power 1) This electronic power switch turns the machine off and on. 2) Automatic Power Off Power is turned off immediately after completion of the selected cycle. Power is automatically turned off in 10 minutes if no button control is made after power on. 3) Initial Display for Power Only The program LEDs are turned on for 1second.
Page 32
rum Wa 4-3. Wash 1) Avail temperatures are set based on the selected program. If you select cold, the washing temperature will be the same as that of the incoming water supply. Temperature safeguards will prevent selection of certain temperatures. (Refer to Washer Program Default Data and Select Option.) 2) The temperatures below indicate water temperature for washing.
Page 33
4-5. Spin Speed 1) Pressing the Soil Level button, changes the LED to cycle between Medium, High, Extra High, Off, No Spin, and Low. 2) The display shows the remaining time. 3) The spin speed may be changed mid cycle provided the current cycle has been paused. 4-6.
Page 34
rum Wa 4-8. Extend Wash 1) When the Extend wash button is pressed, the washing time increases per the wash cycle such as by 6 minutes for Heavily Soiled, 8 minutes for Sanitary, 5 minutes for Everyday wear and Towels and bedding, and 4 minutes for the other available programs. 2) Extend wash is not available in Silk/Gentle, Quick Wash, Wool/Handwash courses.
Page 35
4-10. Night Time 1) Pressing the Night Time button, button will make the machine default to low spin speed and the middle spin speed cycle will change from 790 r.p.m. to 550 r.p.m. 2) Pressing the Night Time button again will remove the option and reset the program default values. 3) The Night Time LED will turn off when the cycle is completed.
