Size Setting Mode For Series Gwl11 / Iwl12 - Fisher & Paykel eco smart PHASE 6 12 Series Service Manual

517766B May 2004
On the Series 11 /12 SmartDrive there is now a lid lock.
During the spin and drain out part of the cycle prior to
spray rinsing, the lid will lock down until the completion
of the spin. Once the spin has completed, the lock will
release and the lid can be opened. The Lid Lock LED
will illuminate when locked.
A lock icon will be displayed on the IW model when
the lid lock is activated.
If the lid lock fails in the closed position the removal process is as follows:
The locked lid can be lifted on the sides enough to allow the lid buffers to be removed.
This will allow the screws holding down the top deck to be unscrewed. The top deck can
then be lifted up, removing the lid lock screw will allow the lid lock housing to be replaced.
Un-clip the clear cap from the housing and disconnect the Rast connection. Clip the new
housing in and re-assemble.
If the harness is damaged, replacing it requires the following method.
Remove the lid from the top deck assembly. The Console will then need to be removed to
access the wiring connection to the motor controller if the wiring loom is replaced. This
harness is also part of the harness to the OOB switch and the motor controller will need to
be lifted to remove and replace it. Remember to secure the wire into the retainers under
the top deck, or damage may occur during operation.
Note:
If the power supply is cut during the spin cycle, the machine will keep the lid locked until
the rotor has ceased to turn (3 to 15 secs). Only then will it release the lock, the motor is
acting like a generator and allows the lock to stay energised under the baskets inertia via
the motor controller. In a brown out situation the machine will restart at the start of
whatever cycle it was doing and continue the wash. The lid lock would then be reactivated
if it happened to be on a spin cycle.
