Terminology - Samsung WF316LAW Service Manual

13-2. TERMINOLOGY

1) ASSY-MAIN PCB (Imbalance Sensor)
→ To prevent the laundry from gathering on one side of the tube causing noise and vibration, the
washing machine uses an imbalance detection device that evenly disentangles the laundry
before the hydrating cycle starts.
2) DOOR-LOCK S/W
→ Prevents the door from being opened while a cycle is in progress. For safety purposes, it
keeps the door locked even in pause mode or after the washing cycle unless the water level
frequency is greater than 24.8Khz (anti-overflow level) or the inside-tube temperature is less
than 65℃ in the hydrating cycle, and 55℃ in the washing cycle.
3) SENSOR-PRESSURE (Anti Over-Flow)
→ When the water supplied is more than 2/3 of the tube capacity due to a malfunction of the
water supply valve, this device automatically starts water-draining and displays "OVER-
FLOW ERROR(E3)" on the LED.
4) THERMISTOR
→ Keeps sensoring and controlling the temperature inside the tube to keep it below your settings.
5) ASSY-THERMAL FUSE (Anti Over-Heat)
→ When the washing heater is overheated due to an error in the thermistor or any other
malfunction, the assy-thermal fuse (built in the heater) is automatically activated to discon
nect the power for your and the product's safety.
6) ASSY-MAIN PCB (Sensitive Laundry Protection)
→ To avoid any damage to sensitive laundry, the tube temperature is detected and
"ERROR(E8)" is displayed on the LED for Wool or Lingerie courses when the temperature is
over 50℃.
7) THERMOSTAT (Anti Over-Heat)
→ When the heater (drier) overheats from an error in the thermistor or any other malfunction, the
thermostat (installed on the drying duct) is automatically activated to disconnect the power for
your or product's safety
8) CHILD LOCK
→ Prevents children from playing with the washing machine.
9) PRE-WASH
→ The machine does a preliminary wash of about 10 minutes prior to the main wash. This is
particularly effective for cleaning badly stained laundry.
