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 Steam button.
4. Press the START/PAUSE      button repeatedly to cycle through the test modes.

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

• Correct water level (246) is not reached within 8 minutes 

after water is supplied or it does not reach the preset water
level within 25 minutes.

• The load is too small.
• The appliance is tilted.
• Laundry is gathered to one side.
• Non distributable things are put into the drum.

• Door not all the way closed.
• Loose electrical connections at Door switch and PWB

Assembly.

• The DOOR SWITCH ASSEMBLY is out of order.

• Not fully drained within 10 minutes.

• The SENSOR SWITCH ASSEMBLY is out of order.

• The THERMISTOR is out order.

• Water is overflowing (water level frequency is over 213). 

If               is displayed, the drain pump will operate to drain
the water automatically.

If you press the START/PAUSE button when an error is displayed, any error except 

will

disappear and the machine will go into the pause status.
In case of
