Warranty
Standard product manufacturing warranty applies.
Action
Check for possible causes of error codes listed below:
Definitions:
Hall Sensor– PCB that is located on the back of the motor that senses motor rpm. It is not aseparate part, but rather an integral part of the motor.“
E3
” code – Machine control is attempting to drive the motor but is not seeing any tachresponse. Visual Check shows motor is not moving. (Locked or Hall Sensor fault.)“
dc
” code – Machine never exceeded 400 RPM due to an unbalanced load.“
SUdS
”
or “
Sd
” –Suds are detected during the washing session. “
SUdS
” is not an error. Ifthe washer is in suds period, “
SUdS
” will light up (on 2 digit display, “
Sd
” will show on thedisplay), instead of the time remaining.
Possible causes of ‘E3’ codes:
1. Spin drum stuck – Verify that the spinner moves freely to eliminate this cause.2. Hall Sensor fails or is loose – When the Hall Sensor fails or becomes dislodged, the controldoesn't recognize that the motor is spinning and shuts down. The result will likely be an “
E3
”code in the worst case, or “
SUdS
” if it is only getting a partial rpm reading. Check wireharness connector(s) to motor.
