14. INTRODUCTION

MODEL: GWL11 Ecosmart
This Service Supplement contains information on the Product Specifications, Diagnostic
Mode and the Detailed Fault Codes for Phases 4, 5 and 6, being Series 8, 10 and Series
11 machines respectively.
14.1

Electronics

The electronics for Series 11 are air-cooled in the same way as the Phase 5 (series 10)
machine. This has changed from being water cooled as in earlier models. This has been
made possible by changes to the stator winding which allows a lower current through the
electronics and the use of the latest low loss, semi-conductor-switching device.
Electronic modules are not inter-changeable between models. The different modules for
the different models can be identified by their colour. L03 (green), L08 phase 4 modules
(yellow) and L10, phase 5 GW modules are grey. The new L11, phase 6 modules, GW
are coloured brown.
GW p/n 420094,
It is important not to mix the different coloured modules as they are not compatible
and the washing machine will not work.
The latest module is similar to the series 10 module. The difference is that the terminals
are pushed on sideways at the top of the module.
The Series 11 module now has a 7 position connection for the display and a 4 position
connection for the Lid Lock / OOB.
14.2

Stand by mode

If a Series 11 machine has not received any instructions for 10 to 15 minutes after being
switched on at the power point or after completing the cycle, it will automatically go into a
low power Stand By mode, same as the Series 10 Smart Drive. Before entering the
Diagnostic or Option Adjustment modes, the machine must be taken out of the Stand By
mode. To do this, the power button will have to be pressed on and off or the machine
turned off and on at the power point.
