3.7.2 Auto Water Level
The machine automatically selects the appropriate water level for the load when AUTO Water
Level is selected, and will choose one of the pre-existing 5 water levels (low, medium low, medium,
medium high and high). During fill the machine pauses occasionally to sense the water level. The
machine checks if the water level is correct by using a series of 2 different agitate strokes. A slow
stroke to sense the load and an agitate stroke to mix the load. If the machine detects that the
water level is too low it will fill with more water and check the level again.
•
When washing an unusual load eg. large bulky garments, pillows, it is recommend that the
water level is manually selected.
•
Manually select the water level if there is already water in the basket.
If the machine does not fill to the correct level, the auto water level can be adjusted in the Option
Adjustment Mode. Refer to the Use & Care manual for the various options adjustments available.
To enter the option adjustment mode:
1. Plug the machine in but do not press POWER.
2. Press and hold the Start / Pause button, then press Power
3. Three quick beeps will be heard and the machine will show an unusual pattern of lights.
4. Carry out any option adjustments necessary.
5. Press POWER to return to normal mode.

3.8.1 Stator
The stator used on this machine is unique to this series only and therefore it is not
interchangeable with any previous phase or series of machines. The stator has 36 poles with the
windings being Aluminium and is Identified by the printed marking AL 60 190T it looks the same as
the copper Stator but is 19.5Ω per winding.
Stator (36 Poles)
Testing the Stator
If the stator needs to be tested we would first recommend testing the resistance of the windings at
the harness that is connected to the Motor Control Module. (Refer to Section 5.12).
Note: Ensure that the Rotor and basket are stationary when measurements are made.
Testing the stator from the console
The resistance of each individual winding is approximately 19.5Ω, however when testing the stator
from the console we are testing across two windings therefore the resistance should be
approximately. 39Ω +/- 10%.
