5) Water fills continuously of intermittently
Where, what & how to check?
Result of Check
Possible Cause

Wrong Installation/Leakage
1. Check whether the drain hose is laying
down on the floor. (For pump model)
2. Check where water leaks.
Pressure Switch
1. Check the pulsator is rotating when
1. Check the pulsator is rotating when
water fills continuously.
2. If there is no defect in the pressure
swith, check whether the air hole of the
outer tub is blocked.
Inlet Valve
1. Does water fills even though it is not
energized (power is off)?
Controller
1. Does water fill immediately after the
power switch turns on before pushing
the START/PAUSE button.
Drain hose laying

Water leaks from a
part.
It doesnʼt rotate.
Blocked.
Water fills.
Wrong installation.
Defect of the part.
Water pressure is not
sensed.
Air hole blocked.
Defect of the inlet valve.
Short circuit of the
triac of the controller.
The drain hose should be
hung on the stand-pipe or
the tub.
Change the part.
Repair it.
Check the tube of the Ball
Pressure Sensor (Pressure
Switch), it is bent or blocked,
repair that.
Repair the blocked hole.
Change the inlet valve.
Change the controller.

7) Water does not drain.
Where, what & how to check?
Result of Check
Possible Cause
How to repair & settle
1. Check whether there is drain pump/
drain valve working sound.
2. Check resistance between terminals if
there is no working sound of the drain
pump/drain valve.
3. Check connection parts of the leads if
there is no working sound and its
resistance is normal.
Drain Hose
1. Check whether the drain hose is put in a
narrow space and kinked.
2. Check whether the drain hose is
blocked by foreign objects. It may
happen in case of the hose is a little
kinked.
There is pump/valve
working sound.

foreign objects.
Itʼs coil is open.
Defect in connection part.
Defect of the controller.
Defect of installation.
Blocked hose.
Disassemble the drain pump/
drain valve cap and remove
the foreign objects in the
casing.
Change the drain pump/
Change the drain pump/
drain valve.
Repair defected connection.
Change the controller.
Reinstall so that it should
not be kinked.
Remove the objects and
reinstall so that it canʼt
be kinked.
8) Water drains thought it is not the time of drain.

PV Case
1. If water drains though the drain motor is
normally returned, check whether PV
asm is blocked by foreign objects or the
bellows in the PV asm is deformed.
Controller
1. Check whether the drain motor or the
drain pump works immediately after
power is turned on.
Blocked.
Bellows deformed.
Works.
Defect of PV Bellows.
Defect of the controller
(Triac defect)
Remove the objects in the
PV asm.
Change the PV bellows.
Change the PV bellows.
(The bellows may swell up if
it contact petroleum or
petrochemical substance
because it is made of rubber)
Change the controller.

Pressure Switch
1. Check generation frequency of the
pressure switch without water.
Less than 26.3 kHz
26.3~27.1 kHz
Defect of the pressure
switch.
Defect of the controller.
Change the pressure switch.
Change the controller.
10) Spining is going on even though the lid is open.

Lid Switch
1. Check resistance between both
terminals of the lid switch with the lid
open.
0~9 Ω

Contact points of the lid
switch is welded.
Defect of the controller.

Drain Hose
1. Check whether the drain hose is
installed properly so that the discharge
hight is about 0.9~1.2m from the floor.
The discharge height
is lower than
recommendation.
Wrong installation of the
drain hose.
Put the outlet of drain hose
between 0.9m and 1.2m
