1 Purpose of this manual The purpose of this Service Manual is to provide Service Engineers, who already have the basic knowledge necessary to repair household dishwashers, with technical information regarding dishwashers featuring the EDW1500electronic control system. These appliances are manufactured at Zarow (Poland). The EDW1500 control system consists of a main circuit board and a control/display board.

4 CONTROL PANEL 4.1 Control panel The configuration of the control panel depends on the following: Typology of the electronic board: horizontal buttons vertical buttons Number of programme selection buttons (from a minimum of 3 to a maximum of 6) Number of LEDs (max.13) Position of the ON/OFF button (right or left) Version with horizontal buttons...

4.1.1 ON/OFF button (S0) The ON/OFF button is featured on all models in the range, and is used to switch the appliance on and off. Switching off does not cancel the programme being executed. 4.1.2 Programme/Option buttons (S1-S6) The functions of the various buttons depend exclusively on the software configuration of each appliance, which can feature from 3 to 6 buttons.
Page 8
4.1.4 Display The display, which consists of 2,5 digits, can indicate: The indicative time-to-end of the programme in minute. The countdown is carried out every minute and updated at the end of each programme phase (when the programme is updated it can decrease by more minutes at a time or stop for longer).

4.2.5 Delayed start Proceed as follows to select the delayed-start time: 1. Close the door and switch the appliance on by means of the S0 button. 2. Press the button repeatedly to select the delayed-start time which appears flashing on the display. The time increases every hour up to 19h [ ..19 0..

4.3.2 Modifying a programme 1. Until a cycle has actually started (digit with flashing light), the settings selected can be modified at any time by pressing the appropriate buttons. 2. To modify a programme that has already started, first cancel it (see corresponding parag) and then perform the new selections.

7.3 Power supply and programme selection The main board is powered by the closure of contacts 1-3 and 2-4 of the ON/OFF button (PU). The connectors used in this case are A2 (neutral) and B1 (line). The control/display board (user interface) is powered at 5V by the main board, making programme selection possible.
Page 18
7.5.2 Dynamic fill The dynamic fill is obtained by switching on the washing pump whose rotation causes the pressure switch to switch to EMPTY. Subsequently, the fill solenoid valve is energized and water is introduced until the switch returns to FULL. The speed of rotation of the motor determines the quantity of water introduced, since the electronic control system switches on the washing pump at a variable speed which depends on the washing system that will be performed in the phases subsequent to the water fill:...
Page 19
The washing pump is actioned by an asynchronous motor with a start-up capacitor (3µF - 450VL). The washing pump rotates in a counter-clockwise direction (seen from the impeller side) and is fitted with a tachometric generator. In order to optimize the washing programmes, two washing systems can be applied: “ctrl“...

7.11 Drain The drain pump (PS) is powered by triac TY3 (connector C1) and via the contacts of the ON/OFF switch (PU) and the door switch (IP). At the end of the drain phase, a control procedure is performed to check that the contact of the level pressure switch is open on EMPTY.
Page 21
7.13 Resin washing Washing of the resins contained in the softening system is performed at the beginning of each washing cycle. In practise, the solution of salty water (regeneration water) remains deposited in the resin container from the end of the last completed cycle until the subsequent cycle. If the regeneration level is set to [10], washing of the resins is performed once at the beginning of the washing cycle and then again immediately after the regeneration process performed at the end of the washing phase.

ACTIVE-DRY TURBO-DRY 8.1.1 “Turbo-dry” drying Certain models feature a forced-air drying system. The steam is drawn in by the fan located inside the upper duct and routed towards the condenser in the fill tank, from which it returns to the tub through the steam venting ring. The fan motor (MV) is powered by triac TY6 (connector D3 on the circuit board) and by the contacts of the ON/OFF switch (PU) and the door switch (IP).
Page 23
9 Automatic cycle 9.1 Turbidity sensor Certain models which feature the turbidity sensor may also feature a special “automatic” programme which optimizes the cycle according to the size of the load and the degree of soiling. This sensor is positioned externally to the sump, in direct contact with the water.
Page 24
10 Alarms In the event that an abnormal situation should occur which might affect the correct operation of the appliance, the circuit board causes a safety system to intervene. In most cases, this interrupts the washing cycle. The last three alarm conditions are stored in memory. Using a special procedure available only to Service Engineers, it is possible to read all the alarms stored in memory.

11.2 Rinse aid function This function is active all the time. Only in case of “3in1” option setted up this function is not activated. If the drying results are not good, with “3in1” option setted up, is it possible to activate rinse aid function using the procedure described below.

12.3 Cancelling alarm codes from memory / Testing the LEDs It is good practise to cancel the alarm codes after reading the alarm code or after effecting repairs to check whether it is repeated during the diagnostics test. 1. Access diagnostics mode 2.

12.5 Options available to Service Engineers In particular circumstances, i.e. if the user reports unsatisfactory washing results, a special procedure, available only to Service Engineers, can be used to select two supplementary options designed to improve performance: • Extra cold rinse. •...
Page 31
12.5.2 Disabling pulse washing Certain programmes use the pulse washing system (PW). Using the procedure described below, the Service Engineer can modify this system so that Ctrl (continuous) washing is used in all those programmes which normally use the PW system. This intensifies the washing action even in delicate programmes. Deactivation/activation mode 1.
