GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS The EWM 1000 electronic control system consists of a single PCB, which incorporates the power, control and display functions. The PCB is contained in a protective casing located behind the control panel support. Two basic versions of the PCB are produced: one with horizontal pushbuttons and one with vertical pushbuttons.
Configuration of control panel The washing programmes, the functions of the selector knob and the various pushbuttons vary according to the model, since these are determined by the configuration of the appliance. Programme selector (S1) The selector features 16 positions and incorporates the ON/OFF switch. The various positions of the selector may be configured to perform different washing programmes;...
Pushbuttons and LEDs The functions of each button are defined by the configuration of the appliance. • Button 1: This pushbutton is connected to two LEDs (11 – 12) and, if used, may be configured for selection of one or two options; in the latter case, the two options cannot be selected at the same time.
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Control system memory General structure of the memory system The system features an EEPROM memory module, fitted externally to the microprocessor, which serves to memorize the configuration data, the description of the cycle, the status of the appliance in the event of a power failure, and the alarms.

EEPROM The EEPROM contains data of various types: Power failure, i.e. the information necessary to restart the appliance in the event of a power failure: Selected cycle and options Current phase and sub-phase Machine status, used to perform special cycles such as: Electrical test (used in the assembly line) Continuous cycles (used in the factory workshop) Machine configuration: the data contained in the EEPROM define the characteristics of the model and...
OPERATION PRINCIPLE Traditional washing Operation Electronic module Detergent hatch Vent hose Level regulator Outer drum Hose water/detergent inlet Hose inlet valve/detergent hatch Inlet valve Water supply hose Pulley wheel Thermostat/NTC Heating element Drainage hose Motor Shock absorber Drainage pump Air chamber (air trap) Bottom hose The partides of soiling substances which are freed from the textile fibres by the chemical action of the detergent at the temperature of the washing water are re-moved by the flow of water through the fibres.
“FUCS” (Fast Unbalance Control System) The control procedure for unbalanced loads is performed dynamically, before each spin cycle, as follows: An initial phase is performed in which the direction of rotation of the drum is alternated at 55 rpm. The phase begins at a speed of 55 rpm; the speed can never fall below this threshold, otherwise the check is repeated.

DIAGNOSTICS SYSTEM Access to diagnostics mode 1. Switch off the appliance. 2. Press and hold down START/PAUSE and any one of the option buttons simultaneously. 3. Holding down both buttons, switch the appliance on by turning the programme selector one position to the right (clockwise).
Diagnostics phases Irrespective of the type of PCB (i.e. with horizontal or vertical buttons) and the configuration of the programme selector it is possible, after entering diagnostics mode, to perform diagnostics on the operation of the various components and to read the alarms by turning the programme selector clockwise. All the alarms are enabled during the diagnostics cycle.
ALARMS User alarm display Control of the alarm system can be configured; according to the model, therefore, some or all of the alarms may be displayed to the user. Normally, all alarms are displayed for the used, with the exception of: ♦...
Reading the alarm codes In order to read the last alarm code memorized in the EEPROM on the PCB: • Enter diagnostics mode. • Irrespective of the type of PCB and configuration, turn the programme selector clockwise to the tenth position. Displaying the alarm The alarm is displayed by a repeated flashing sequence of the two LEDs (0.4 seconds lit, 0.4 seconds off, with an interval of 2.5 seconds between sequences).
Rapid reading of alarm codes The last alarm code can be displayed even if the programme selector is not in the tenth position (diagnostics) or if the appliance is in normal operating mode (e.g. during the execution of the washing programme): →...
