5-4. EXPLANATION OF EACH PROCESS

No.

Process

Explanation

1.

Stay

• Electrical power is supplied
• Washer is ready to work and the micom is in the active mode.

2.

Water
supply

• After loading laundry and selecting a course and a cycle, water is

supplied and  drum rotates.

• When a user selects Pre-wash course, water is supplied through 

pre wash valve.

3.

Soaking
& washing
laundry

• To get laundry wet, drum rotates clockwise and counterclockwise.
• If water amount is insufficient at this time, the Inlet valve will supply

water again. 

4.

Heating &
washing

• The heater heats the water in drum to the selected water temperature

and drum rotates for washing. 

5.

6.

Washing
& heating
/ washing

• When the water temperature reaches to the selected temperature, the

heating stops and only the drum rotates.

• If water temperature becomes lower than selected because of 

re-supplied water, the heating starts again.

7.

Washing

• Fuzzy Logic decides washing time according to the laundry load, water

temperature, and other factors.

8.

Drainage

• A pump motor drains the water from the drum.
• After sensing drained water amount by water level frequency, spin starts.
• When a heating course is selected, stay cooling process is performed to

decrease the water temperature gradually to prevent laundry from being
damaged and for safety reasons.

9.

Untangling
(Sensing
eccent-
ricity)

• It balances laundry load and senses the eccentricity of the load, to only

allow spinning  without vibration 

• If the eccentricity is worse than the allowed level, it repeats the

disentangling process. When the repeated time is more than allowed
level, it displays UE.

• If the eccentricity is good, the intermittent spin starts.
• During this process, the drain pump works for drainage intermittently.

Process

Explanation

A.

Intermittent
spin

• To reach the correct set speed, the motor rotates clockwise and

counterclockwise directions after spin process starts.

• If the water level frequency is lower than 23.0 kHz, a washer senses

suds and starts suds removal process.

B.

Rinse
spin

• In this process, the remaining water during washing process is

extracted and the selected speed is kept.

• Removing suds process is in active mode at this cycle.

C.

Remaining
spin

• After spin finishes, the drum rotates by remaining spin power until it stops.

Motor power is off.

• This process is overlapped with next process. 

D.

Rinse water
supply

• Water supply for rinse process

E.

Rinse

• Rinsing process.

F.

Last
drainage

• After spin finishes and power is not supplied to motor, the drum

rotates by remaining spin power

• If rinse hold is selected, the drainage is not proceeded after rinse

finishes.

G.

Disentangling

• The same as item 9.

H.

Intermittent spin • The same as item A.

I.

Main spin1

• The same as item B.

J.

Main spin2

• At the end of a main spin, the spin speed will reach the selected rpm.

K.

Remaining spin • The same with item C.

L.

Disentangling

• After spin finishes, disentangling starts to remove unbalanced

laundry.

M.

End

• After 'end' signal is displayed, it stays for 8 seconds and power is

automatically turned off. (Auto type door switch)

• After door switch is off, end signal is displayed in the case of

manual type and it takes around 2 minute to turn off door switch.

7. TEST MODE

7-1. SAFETY CAUTION

There's built-in AC 110V and DC power in output terminal of PWB assembly in common. Be careful electric
shock when disconnecting parts while trouble shooting. (Wear Electro Static Discharge gloves when working.)
After cutting off the power when changing PWB assembly, disconnect or assemble.
Be careful static when handling PWB assembly, and use Electro Static Discharge plastic pack when delivering
or keeping it. 

7-2. LOAD TEST MODE.

The washer must be empty and the controls must be in the off state. 
1. Press the SPIN SPEED and SOIL LEVEL buttons simultaneously.
2. Press the POWER       button, while the above condition. Then buzzer will sound twice.
3. Press the START/PAUSE      button repeatedly to cycle through the test modes.

NOTES:

RPM < 220 : RPM = display / RPM > 200 : RPM = display X 10
WATER LEVEL : o255 = empty / o248 = normal / o255 = tub clean

7-3. HOW TO CHECK THE WATER LEVEL FREQUENCY

Press the WASH/RINSE and DELAY S

button simultaneously.

The digits indicate the water level frequency ( x.1 kHz ).

So, for example a display indicating 241: a Water level frequency of 241 x.1 kHz

=  24.1 kHz
