“PREWASH” button This option selects an additional prewash phase at 30º C at the beginning of the cycle, followed first by a drain phase and then by the next phase. In the COTTON and SYNTHETICS cycles also a short spin phase is performed.
Page 11
“RINSE HOLD” button When this option is selected the cycle ends leaving water in the tub after the final rinse to prevent fabrics from creasing. In the RINSE HOLD phase, the final spin speed can be modified; press the START/PAUSE button to complete the cycle, or select a new drain or spin programme.
Page 12
“REDUCED SPIN SPEED” button When this button is pressed, the speed of the final spin in COTTON cycles is reduced to 650 rpm.; in the SYNTHETICS, DELICATES and WOOL cycles it is reduced to 500 rpm. When the RINSE or SPIN cycles are selected, the spin structure changes from the COTTON to the DELICATES spin.

“ELECTRONIC DRYING” button (WASHER-DRYERS, certain models only) It is possible to select two different electronic levels of dryness: one for COTTON and one for SYNTHETICS cycles: Þ Extra dry (only cotton) Þ Store dry (cotton and synthetics) Þ Iron dry (only cotton) The drying time is automatically calculated by the "Fuzzy"...
DISPLAY The display shows the following information: Þ three flashing lights, when the appliance is switched on. Þ the wash programme duration; it is shown up after the programme has been selected. The time corresponding to the maximum wash load is shown up. While performing the cycle, the time decreases (updated) every minute.

SE Movement: VT movement during rinses in "jetsystem total exchange" COTTON programmes (virtual tank): During these phases, in which the motor rotates at high speed, if the electronic pressure switch detects that the water in the tub falls below a certain level, the following operations are performed: spin at 470 rpm (VT_MOV_CODE) to remove the water from the fabrics and therefore to increase the level in the tub.
“FUCS” (Fast Unbalance Control System) The control procedure for unbalanced loads is performed dynamically, before each spin cycle, as follows: The phase begins at a speed of 55 rpm; the speed can never fall below this threshold, otherwise the check is repeated. At intervals of 400 ms, the balance is calculated and compared with predetermined limits.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS EWM 2000 ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT 1. Main PCB 2. Control/Display Board BUZZER CONTROL/DISPLAY BOARD PROGRAMME Microprocessor SELECTOR MAIN BOARD ELECTRICAL SENSORS LOADS Microprocessor The main PCB performs the following functions: acquisition of the wash cycle settings via the control/display board. control of the water level in the tub via the electronic pressure switch and the safety pressure switch.
MICROPROCESSOR MEMORY (MAIN PCB) GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS PROGRAMME VARIABLES POWER FAIL CYCLE MACHINE & PARAMETERS CONFIGURATION EEPROM MACHINE STATUS The overall structure of the microprocessor memory on the main PCB is subdivided into three sections: This area of memory contains the software with the general instructions that control the operation of the appliance, such as those of the electrical components and alarms.
ELECTRONIC PRESSURE SWITCH The electronic pressure switch is an analog device that controls the water level in the tub. It is directly connected to the main electronic PCB. 1. air inlet hose 2. diaphragm 3. coil 4. electronic circuit (oscillator) 5.
INSTANTANEOUS DOOR SAFETY DEVICE Certain models are fitted with an instantaneous door safety device; this means that the door can be opened as soon as the drum stops rotating. 1. PTC solenoid protector 2. Solenoid 3. Lever mechanism 4. Cam 5.
DETERGENT DISPENSER Water is ducted into the detergent dispenser by a solenoid valve with one inlet and two or three outlets. Some models are fitted with a second solenoid valve for hot water fill. The same detergent dispenser is used in all models; the only difference lies in the water intake nozzle.

Power supply to the motor The main PCB powers the motor directly via a TRIAC. Reversal of the direction of the motor is effected by two relays that vary the connection between the rotor and the stator. A third relay powers the stator in half- or full-range operation, depending on the spin speed. The speed of the motor is controlled by a signal received from the tachometric generator.
Circulation pump In Jetsystem models, the circulation pump is powered directly by the main PCB via a TRIAC Heating The heating element is powered directly by the main PCB via a relay. As a safety feature, a traditional dual-level pressure switch (anti-boiling 1 and anti-boiling 2) is connected in series to the heating element.
DRYING (washer/dryers only) The drying system is identical to that used for washer/dryers with traditional timers. 1. Fan 2. Fan motor 3.Drying heating elements 4. Heating element casing 5. Duct 6. Door gasket 7. Tub 8. Tub-condenser hose 9. Drying condenser 10.

Temperature control: An NTC sensor fitted to the duct is used to control the drying temperature; two safety thermostats (one of which is a manual-reset type) are fitted to the casing of the heating element. 1. NTC sensor for control of drying temperature 2.
ACCESS TO THE DIAGNOSTICS / CONFIGURATION SYSTEM Using a single procedure, it is possible to access both the diagnostics and configuration systems. After accessing this function, the following operations can be performed: - configuration of the main PCB - analysis of alarm conditions - control of the operation of each of the components in the appliance.
DIAGNOSTICS SYSTEM The diagnostics system is used to check the operation of all the components of the washing machine. After accessing the diagnostics routine (see "Access to the diagnostics / configuration system"), the correct operation of each component can be checked by turning the programme selector knob clockwise. CHECKING THE DISPLAY BOARD When the knob is in the first position (RESET) (after accessing the diagnostics system), the system checks the display board.
DIAGNOSTICS CYCLE Correct operation of all the components in the appliance can be checked by turning the programme selector knob clockwise. The diagnostics cycles can be performed only if there is correct communication (connection) between the main PCB and the display board; also, the configuration of the appliance must be correct. The wash phase LEDs (and the display, if featured) show the binary code representing the closure of the programme selector contacts for two seconds.

ALARMS The electronic control unit detects and recognises any malfunctions in the operation of the appliance, in which case an alarm condition is generated. Alarm conditions may be of three types: cycle paused cycle blocked current phase skipped Only four alarm conditions are normally displayed to the user: problems with water fill problems with drain door open...
READING THE LAST ALARM CONDITION The diagnostics system makes it possible to identify the last alarm condition which occurred during the operation of the appliance. to read this alarm condition, after accessing the diagnostics system (see "Access to the diagnostics / configuration system), turn the programme selector knob two positions counter-clockwise from the RESET position.
CANCELLING THE LAST ALARM CONDITION To cancel the last memorised alarm condition, press START/PAUSE button and no. 4 button at the same time during the course of the diagnostics cycle. The alarm is cancelled also when a new configuration is given to the main PCB. TSE-P 01.01 EB 48/56 599 34 55-61...
CONFIGURATION OF THE MAIN PCB A standard main PCB is available as a spare part. This PCB contains only data relative to the wash cycle. After replacing the main PCB, it is necessary to perform the configuration procedure in order to operate the washing machine.
CONFIGURATION CODE The configuration code (16 alphanumeric digits) shown on a label affixed to the casing of the main PCB and in the Service Notes describing the various models. It is advisable to note the configuration code on the casing of the new PCB fitted to the washing machine. READING THE CONFIGURATION CODE The configuration code is shown, one character at a time, on the display (if featured) or on the washing phase display LEDs.
EXAMPLES OF CONFIGURATION Configuration code A2A7808080E691F2 POSITION: ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ VALUE: TABLE OF CYCLE PHASE LEDS On models not featuring the display window, it is advisable, before beginning the configuration procedure, to convert the digits of the configuration code into binary format.
