  • Page 4: 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 EWM09 electronic control system (SERIES 6).
  • Page 5: "Demo" Mode

    2 “DEMO” MODE A special cycle is designed to demonstrate the operation of these appliances in shops, without connecting them to the water mains: The door closure device is activated normally. All motor's low speed movements, the pulses and spin are disabled. The water fill solenoid valves and the drain pump are disabled.
  • Page 6: Diagnostic System

    3 DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM Accessing diagnostics Do not start the procedure with the combination buttons pressed Series 6 Series 7 Turn the appliance on at the ON/OFF switch. Only in the aesthetics 6 turn the switch to the first position to the right.
  • Page 7: Diagnostic Test Phases

    Diagnostic test phases Irrespective of the type of circuit board and the configuration of the selector, after entering the diagnostic mode, turn the programme selector dial clockwise to perform the diagnostic cycle for the operation of the various components and to read any alarms. Concurrently, a selector control code is shown on the LCD display, which indicates for two seconds the description in the last column of the table below.

    4 ALARMS Displaying the alarms to the user When a problem arises in the appliance, which generates a “WARNING” or an “ALARM”, this is displayed with three digits, where normally the remaining cycle time is represented. The alarms displayed to the user are listed below: E10 - Water fill difficulty (tap closed) E20 - Drain difficulty (filter dirty) E40 - Door open...
  • Page 12: Reading The Alarms

    Reading the alarms The last three alarms stored in the FLASH memory of the PCB can be displayed: • Enter the diagnostic mode. • Irrespective of the type of circuit board and configuration, turn the programme selector knob clockwise to the tenth position and this will display the last alarm. •...
  • Page 13: Rapid Reading Of Alarms

    Rapid reading of alarms The last three alarms can even be displayed if the selector is not in the tenth diagnostic position or if the appliance is in normal operating mode (for example when performing a wash programme): • Press the START/PAUSE button and the nearest option button simultaneously (as if you were entering DIAGNOSTIC mode) for at least 2 seconds: the LCD display shows the last alarm.
  • Page 14: Operating Time Counter

    5 OPERATING TIME COUNTER Using a specific procedure, the operator can display the total operating time for the appliance, which is counted from the moment it is first switched on. The unit can count up to a maximum of 6,550 hours of operating time. only the operating time of normal programmes (and not diagnostic cycles) is counted the actual operating time for the cycle is counted (which does not include pauses, delayed start time, rinse hold time and soaking phases)
  • Page 15: Display Of Total Operating Time

    5.2 Display of total operating time This time is displayed with a sequence of two digits at a time: the first two digits indicate thousands and hundreds, the second two digits indicate tens and units. For example, if the operating time is 6,550 hours, the display will show the following sequence: Phase 1 →...
