7. TEST MODE

7-1. SAFETY CAUTION

Both 120 volts AC and DC voltages are present on the main board. Be careful to avoid a shock hazard.
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 handling or storing the board or other components.

***

***

***

The digits indicate the water level frequency.

* Press the WASH/RINSE and SOIL LEVEL buttons simultaneously.

For example, if the display indicates 058,
the water level frequency is 20+(58 X 0.1) = 25 8 kHz.

The digits indicate the operation of the vibration sensor.

For example, if the display 000, the sensor is working 
If the display 001, the vibration sensor has failed.

If you press the START/PAUSE button when an error is displayed, any error except       PE ERROR
will disappear and the machine will go into the pause status.
In case of       PE ERROR,       tE ERROR, 

dE ERROR if the error is not resolved within 20

seconds, or in the case of other errors, if the error is not resolved within 4 minutes, power will be
turned off automatically and the error code will blink. But in the case of       FE ERROR, power will not
be turned off.

8-1. SAFETY CAUTION

Both 120 volts AC and DC voltages are present on the main board. Be careful to avoid a shock
hazard.

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.

WATER INLET

ERROR

• Correct water level (24.6kHz) is not reached within 

8 minutes after water is supplied or it does not reach

the preset water level within 20 minutes.

order.

• When water level frequency maintain condition of

below 10 kHz and over 30 kHz.

DOOR OPEN ERROR

• Door not all the way closed.

• Loose electrical connections at Door switch and

PWB Assembly.

• The DOOR SWITCH ASSEMBLY is out of order.

HEATING ERROR

• The THERMISTOR is out of order.
