Lid Lock

The Phase 7 Washer uses the same lid lock that is used on
the Phase 6 series 11 & 12 machines. During the spin and
drain out part of the cycle prior to spray rinse, 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 Locked LED will illuminate on the GW and MW
machines.
If the lid is left open, the machine will be unable to lock the lid
and the cycle will be halted. The machine will play a tune
and the lid lock will flash until the lid is closed and
START/PAUSE is pressed.
•
If the lid-lock fails in the closed position, the locked lid can be forced upwards and out of the
lock. Note: This is the only time in which we would recommend doing this.
•
If the harness is damaged, the complete lid lock assembly will need to be replaced.
The chart below shows the stages when the lid is locked.
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
10 secs). Only then will it release the lock. The motor is
acting like a generator and allows the lock to stay energised
under the bowls inertia.
In a brown out situation, the machine will restart at the start of whatever section of the cycle it was
on and continue the wash. The lid lock would then be reactivated if it happened to be on a spin
cycle.
