NEW COMPONENTS
The washer has the following new components:
Intuitive Touch Controls — the Cabrio® washer features a new capacitive touch console that first asks “what’s being washed”
followed by “how you want to wash.” First select a cycle from the “What to Wash” (mixed, casuals, whites, delicates, and bulky
sheets) and then select the “How to Wash” (normal, quick, cold, deep water, or color last). This new and improved input will
help the customer achieve the best combination cycle available for the type of items being washed.
What to Wash How to Wash
Basket — the Cabrio® WTW8500D* washer has an extra Motor — The motor is an electronically commutated direct-
large basket capacity of 5.3 cu.ft. Other than size, the major drive 3-phase BPM (Brushless Permanent Magnet) variable
difference from the previous model is that this basket does not speed design that moves the impeller and spins the basket
have a flotation chamber to assist with changing between spin without the use of a transmission. The motor is comprised of
and agitate modes. a stator and rotor that are attached to the drive assembly. The
motor direction and speed is controlled by the ACU (Appliance
Control Unit) or main control, and is monitored by the rotor
position sensor located on the stator.

The internal shaft, which is connected directly to the rotor, When the coil is de-energized, the clutch disengages the rotor
agitates the impeller; whereas the external shaft, which is and the spring returns the clutch to its home position. The
motor now controls only the impeller.

F0E5 Off Balance Load Fault is displayed when an off balance condition is detected.
• Check for weak suspension. Basket should not bounce up and down more than
once when pushed.
• Items should be distributed evenly when loading.
F1E1‡ Main Control Fault Indicates a main control fault.
• See TEST #1: Main Control, page 6-5.
F1E2‡ Main Control Fault Indicates a fault of the motor control section of the main control.
• See TEST #3b: Drive System – Motor, page 6-10.
F1E3‡ Mismatch of ACU and This fault is displayed when the user interface identification does not match the
UI expected value in the Main Control Board.
• Fault occurs during Diagnostic Test Mode if a mismatch of main control and UI is
identified.
• See Key Activation & Encoder Test, page 5-4.
F2E1 UI Stuck Button Indicates that the user interface is detecting that a button is continuously activated.
• See Key Activation & Encoder Test, page 5-4.
F2E3 UI Mismatch Indicates that the machine control or user interface ID do not match the expected
values.
• Verify that the ACU and UI part numbers are correct.
F2E4 UI Software Error: Indicates that a parameter file in the UI is not correct.
Incompatible • Replace the user interface.
Parameter File
F2E5 UI Software Error: Indicates that a parameter file in the UI is corrupt.
Parameter Memory • Replace the user interface.
Invalid
F3E1‡ Pressure System Fault Fault is displayed when the main control detects an out of range pressure signal.
• Check pressure hose connection from tub to main control. Is hose pinched, kinked,
plugged, or leaking air?
• See TEST #6: Water Level, page 6-13.
F3E2 Inlet Water Fault is displayed when the inlet thermistor is detected to be open or shorted.
Temperature Fault • See TEST #5: Temperature Thermistor, page 6-12.
‡This fault will stop the washer during Service Diagnostics.
