EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS The washer communicates with the PC (TraceTech SW) via the RS485 line. If the external communication is not working, check the connection between the PC and washer. Check also if you have selected the correct washer communication address. Error Messages Explanation FAILURE 2: DRAIN FAILURE Failure 2 occurs when the electronic timer detects that the water is not drained after 3 minutes in a Drain or Spin Sequence.
Page 57
FAILURE 5: SAFETY SWITCH ACTIVATED AT HIGH REVOLUTIONS Failure 5 occurs when the safety switch is activated during high spin. This failure indicates that there probably is a mechanical defect. DIAGNOSE: 1. Check the position of the safety switch. If the safety switch is not correctly mounted, install the safety switch properly.
Page 58
FAILURE 9: DOOR LOCK OPENING FAILURE AT END OF CYCLE At the end of the cycle the Door Lock coil is switched off and the door lock switch must open its contact. If within 3 minutes the door lock switch does not change state, Failure Message 9 will be displayed. As long the contact stays closed, Failure Message 9 remains on the display.
Page 59
FAILURE 13: HEATING FAILURE If the heater elements are not functioning: message 13 will be displayed. The message is generated when the temperature is not raising 37°F (3°C) 10 minutes time. DIAGNOSE: 1. Check if the heating contactor is activated. If the heating contactor is not activated, repair the wiring or replace the contactor.
Page 60
FAILURE 26: UNDEFINED MITSUBISHI FREQUENCY INVERTER ERROR CODE Occurs if the Inverter gives an error message which is not recognized by the washer computer. Updating the washer computer software might help discover what Inverter error code really occurred. Inform Maytag.
Page 61
Repair/clean what is necessary. 5. Check if the fault is persistent. If the fault is persistent, contact Maytag. FAILURE 29: OV3 (Mitsubishi)/E.OP (KEB) TIME OUT Fault 29 occurs when the washer computer can not handle the OV3 (Mitsubishi) fault of the Frequency Inverter. This fault is a specific fault of the Frequency Inverter caused by an overvoltage.

Inverter (see fault 27). 3. Write the parameters once more into the Inverter. If the fault is persistent, contact Maytag. FAILURE 32: VERIFICATION FAULT INVERTER Fault 32 occurs if an incorrect parameter is detected at the verification of the Inverter Parameters. After writing the Inverter Parameters in the Inverter, the parameters are verified one by one to ensure that they have been correctly loaded.
Page 63
FAILURE 38: NO RECYCLE WATER Failure 38 occurs when the electronic timer detects that the Water Recycle tank is empty. DIAGNOSE: 1. Check the water level from the water recycle tank. Add water to the water recycle tank. FAILURE 39: EMPTY SOAP SUPPLY BOX Failure 39 occurs when the electronic timer detects that the Soap Reservoir is empty.
Page 64
FAILURE 80: TIME IS OUT FOR DISPENSING LIQUID DETERGENTS Failure 80 occurs when the On Hold Signal of the Liquid Supply Central Dispensing System stays high for more than 1 hour. At Input 16 of the washer computer, the Liquid Supply Central Dispensing System sends a “High” signal that pauses the washer during the Wash Sequence for adding Liquid Supplies.

FAILURE 95: WATCH DOG If the watch dog has been activated, message 95 is logged in the Error log register. If this occurs often, contact a technician. FAILURE 100: WEIGH NOCOMM Washers with Weighing system only. Failure 100 occurs when the communication between washer computer and signal conditioner weighing system (amplifier module) is interrupted.
Page 66
FAILURE 103: WEIGH BALANCE Washers with Weighing system only. Failure 103 occurs when the measured weight is not equally divided over the four load cells. Check the load cell Weighing Calibration screen (Advanced Menu) to obtain more information about the function of each individual load cell. FX180, FX240, FX280: Load on each load cell must be in the range of 10–40%.

FAILURE 300-353: MITSUBISHI INVERTER ALARM MESSAGE Always make sure you have the correct Frequency Inverter Parameter settings in the Inverter, especially when you have replaced the Inverter. If unsure go to the Configuration Menu and select “Inverter Menu…”, set the correct Machine Type and supply voltage; then load the parameters from the washer computer to the Inverter again.
Page 69
If too high: reduce the supply voltage. 3. Check if the fault is persistent. If the fault is persistent, contact Maytag. DIAGNOSE FAILURE 306: THT-ERROR (INVERTER OVERLOAD) If the output current of the Frequency Inverter is abnormal high for some time, the Inverter will go into THT-alarm state.
