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
and 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 and
washing

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

and drum rotates for washing.

5.

6.

Washing
and 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.

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.

11

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.

12

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.

13

Rinse water
supply

• Water supply for rinse process.

14

Rinse

• Rinsing process.

15

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.

16

Disentangling

• The same as item 9.

17

Intermittent spin • The same as item A.

22

Main spin1

• The same as item B.

Main spin2

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

Remaining spin • The same with item C.

Disentangling

• After spin finishes, disentangling starts to remove unbalanced

laundry.

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.
