TEST PROGRAMME

To start the passive test programme :
1. Turn the programme selector to OFF
2. Hold the start button in and at the same time turn the programme selector to the first cycle
(40°C-55°C Normal). Wait until the light behind the start button begins to flash then
release the start button.
3. The four programme progress lights in the display panel will flash sequentially from left to
right. This indicates that the microprocessor is serviceable.
If there is a component failure, the light behind the start button will flash as indicated in the
table below to indicate the area to check.

Water leakage
Heating system

NOTE: The machine will not store Fault Code F6 located during normal operation, only
during the active test. Therefore the active test MUST be run for the diagnostics
to locate this fault. All Other Fault codes located during normal operation are
stored by the machine and will be displayed by the passive test.

PROCEDURE FOR DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE TEST PROGRAMME

1. Start the passive test programme. (See Page 15).
If there is a defective component indicated (see Note 2), open the plinth and take out
the control board (CB).
2. Check the component.
Unplug the indicated component from the control board and check with a multimeter. If
the component resistance is comparable with the data sheet, check cabling and
connections and examine the component.
3. Check control board.
Dishwasher components are controlled via electronic devices. As a result, when
checking component control board output voltages, the component connector must be
connected to the control board to load the electronic device.
4. If the dishwasher appears totally dead, perform test point tests. (See Page 19).
