Water Control

The Water Control system is a sensor located in contact with the base frame. The sensor detects water
leaks inside the machine (not only during normal operation, but also when the unit is off and plugged in) and
starts the drain pump if a leak occurs.

6. Water Control
Besides supporting the various components on the appliance (drain pump, recirculation pump, shock
absorbers, etc.), the base frame is designed to be a container that collects any water leaks that may occur
(from the tub, from a tube or pipe, etc.). These leaks are directed into an area where a float is installed.
When this float is raised by water, it actuates a microswitch that starts the drain pump. When the switch is
tripped, an alarm is also signaled (if the machine is switched on).
Important: When replacing the drain pump or tube,
arrange the tube so that it doesn't interfere with the float.
