How To Handle Fault Messages - Maytag MFS Series Programming Manual

8.3. HOW TO HANDLE FAULT MESSAGES

ATTENTION !!!
!
CHECK IN THE MANUAL FOR WHAT PROBLEM THE DIAGNOSTIC OR HELP CODE CORRESPONDS
TO. ASK THE ASSISTANCE OF AN EXPERIENCED TECHNICIAN TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
ALL THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED BEFORE EACH INTERVENTION.
You can overrule and erase fault messages by:
pressing the ENTER button (key switch in Service – Set-Up mode)
switching the power off/on
opening the door (D3 and D21)
For safety reasons the door will not be unlocked if :
- there is still water in the drum
- the water temperature is above 130°F
- the drum is still turning (a safety time will be respected until the drum comes to a standstill)
- there is a problem with the door lock system
Each time at the end of the cycle, the Graphic Control Wash computer will fulfil a safety test
sequence.
If at the end of the cycle the safety conditions are not fulfilled, the messages TOO HOT or
WATER IN CAGE will be displayed.
If the problem disappears (the water has dropped below the safety level for spin or the water temperature
has dropped below 130°F) the Error message TOO HOT or WATER IN CAGE will disappear automatically.
ATTENTION !!!
!
IT'S UP TO THE OPERATOR TO TAKE THE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS IF THE DRAIN VALVE IS
NOT FUNCTIONAL AND IF THERE IS STILL HOT WATER IN THE TUB AT THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE.
ON THE DISPLAY THE ACTUAL WATER TEMPERATURE AND LEVEL WILL BE DISPLAYED.
WAIT UNTIL THE WATER IS DRAINED AND UNTIL THE WATER HAS COOLED BEFORE ALL
INTERVENTIONS AS HOT WATER CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.
CARE MUST BE TAKEN THAT NOBODY GETS BURNED DUE TO HOT WATER.
DEPENDING THE FAILURE TYPE THE MCG WASH COMPUTER WILL START A SPECIFIC
PROCEDURE :
WHEN SAFETY IS INVOLVED
