1 Purpose of this manual The purpose of this manual is to provide service personnel (who already have the basic knowledge necessary for repairing dishwashers) with information on dishwashers equipped with the EDW503 electronic control system, which are produced in the Solaro (MI - Italy) factory. The EDW503 control system consists of a main circuit board and a control/display board.
4.4 Options 4.4.1 “1/2 load” The 1/2 load option optimizes the washing cycle when only a small load is placed in the appliance. When this button is pressed, certain parameters of the selected washing cycle are modified: Exclusion of Pre-wash (if featured) Reduction of the washing temperature Reduction of the duration of the programme 4.4.2...
5 SEQUENCE OF OPERATION 1. Switch on the appliance with button S0 the “End of cycle” LED flashes every 2sec for 0.5sec. eventually, if featured, the Salt/Rinse aid LEDs light up. 2. Select the delayed start or the desired option (if featured) pressing button S1. the LED LD1 lights up.
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND FUNCTIONS 7.1 EDW503 Electronic control system The EDW503 control system consists of a main circuit board and a control/display board. Both boards are housed in a plastic container (fig. 1). The On/Off function is performed by the button S0. fig.1 7.1.1 Functions of the circuit board...
7.1.2 Memory in the control system µP Power Fail and machine status Asynchronous Configuration of EEPROM Synchronous external serial the appliance (external internal serial port to the µP) Description of the cycle The main circuit board features an EEPROM memory (external to the microprocessor) which stores in memory data relative to the configuration, description of the cycle, cycle status in case of a power failure, and any alarm conditions.
7.3 Power supply and programme selection The main board is powered by the closure of contacts. The connectors used are B2 (neutral) and B1 (line). The control/display board (user interface) is powered at 220V by the main board. When the door is closed, the main board detects the closure of the contacts of the switch (IP) across connectors C1-C3 and starts the washing programme.
7.6 Water fill time The opening of the solenoid valve has a pre-set overall duration, which is subdivided into the various sub- phases of the fill: 7.6.1 Static fill time T.S. = max 90 seconds: This is the maximum time within which the pressure switch must switch to FULL. If the FULL signal is not received from the pressure switch within this time, the electronic control system interrupts the washing cycle and the appliance enters alarm condition [1 0].
a thermostat with a thermal fuse (206ºC) The temperature of the water is controlled by the main circuit board via an NTC sensor (ST) which is connected to connectors H1-H3. 7.10 Integrated detergent dispenser The detergent dispenser is a plastic container consisting of two separate sections.
7.12 Regeneration system Regeneration of the water softening system, which takes around 4 min, is usually performed at the start of the drying phase. Every time regeneration is performed (with activation of regeneration solenoid 4), the accumulation chamber is completely emptied of its contents (about 230 cc of water). Regeneration is controlled by the electronic control system “Ad Hoc”, i.e.
8 DRYING In these dishwashers, the dishes are dried by means of a steam condensation process. The drying system is based on the circulation of the hot air produced during the hot rinse, in which the steam circulates inside the condenser of the fill tank. The steam (humid hot air) produced during the hot rinse, enters from below through the steam venting grille and circulates slowly inside the chamber of the fill tank where it condensates and then exits through the upper part.
9 ALARMS When an abnormal situation occurs that may interfere with machine functioning, the main board activates a safety system which in most cases interrupts the washing cycle. The last three alarm situations are stored in memory. Using a special procedure, service personnel can display all the alarms stored in memory. The user is only shown four of the alarms in progress.

10 USER MODE With this procedure it is possible to: • Modify the regeneration level selection (depending on the water hardness) • Activate or deactivate the buzzer signalling. 10.1 Regeneration selection 1. Press button S0 to switch on the dishwasher. cancel any selected cycles pressing button S2 for at least 3sec.
11 SERVICE MODE With this procedure it is possible to access the Service Diagnostics System. To activate the function: 1. Press and hold down button S2. 2. Press button S0 to switch the appliance on LED L2 flashes. LEDs L3 and L4 light up. Once this mode is accessed, it is possible to: •...
11.3 Functional testing cycle This is an abbreviated washing programme (50 min) which allows the Service Engineer to test all the functions that comprise a traditional washing cycle; in effect, the system simulates a normal cycle. 11.3.1 Selecting the cycle To activate the function, after accessing the diagnostics mode: 1.

14 CHECKING THE EFFICIENCY OF THE COMPONENTS In order to facilitate the control procedure for the components to be tested, a TEST PROCEDURE has been created which indicates the point to which the probes of the tester should be applied and the correct theoretical value for each component tested.
