Oversudsing Detection; The Language Of Laundry - Electrolux EWFLW65H Technical & Service Manual

Oversudsing Detection

Oversudsing is detected after the wash cycle by two methods.
1. Suds are detected when torque is very high and the pressure can not be drawn down to zero at the drain pump.
The spin cycle is then skipped, and a slower rinse agitation is performed with longer pauses and less time in
agitation, and the fabric softener is moved from the last rinse cycle to the second rinse cycle. If suds are still
detected after the first rinse, or after the wash cycle for a Fast Cycle, up to 3 rinse cycles are added to clear the
suds.
2. Suds are detected when the machine tries to spin and the pressure goes above a given threshold, and when the
drum speed is reduced back down to 120 RPM the pressure does not go back to zero within a given amount of
time. The drum will then stop (0 RPM) and sit for 30 seconds with the drain pump off. The drain pump will then
turn on for one minute and attempt to drain the tub of water and/or suds. If pressure can not be brought to zero
and this happens twice in a given intermediate rinse cycle, then the spin cycle is skipped and if it is the second
intermediate spin (first for the Fast Cycle) then up to 3 rinse cycles will be added to eliminate suds in the tub.
