  • Page 6: Purpose Of This Manual

    1 PURPOSE OF THIS MANUAL The purpose of this manual is to provide service engineers who are already familiar with the repair procedures for traditional washing machines with information regarding washing machines fitted with the EWM09312 (TC4- TC3) and EWX13611 (TC4-TC3) electronic control system. Previous platforms (electronic/mechanical) used a safety pressure switch which controlled the minimum water level in the tub, beneath which the supply to the heating element was interrupted.
  • Page 7: Warnings

    Before servicing an appliance, check the efficiency of the electrical system in the home using appropriate instruments. For example: refer to the indications provided/illustrated in the <<metratester>> course at the address (http://electrolux.edvantage.net) on the Electrolux Learning Gateway portal.  On completing operations, check that the appliance has been restored to the same state of safety as when it came off the assembly line.
