The w&sher's di&gnostic

mode c&n be used to

troubleshoot w&sher
problems by viewing
logged w&sher errors,
performing &n
&utom&tic di&gnostic
cycle, or m&nu&lly
turning on &nd off
different w&sher p&rts
to test for proper
oper&tion. Some
versions of this w&sher
type h&ve & digit&l
displ&y th&t will show &n
error code, but most use
the st&tus lights on the
w&sher console to fl&sh
& sequence th&t c&n
then be interpreted into
the code.
The "Fill" light or
"Sensing" &nd "So&k"
lights &re "F" on the first
p&rt of the code The
second "E" p&rt of the
code will not use the
"Fill", "Sensing", or
"So&k" Lights.
The "w&sh" light is "8"
The "rinse" light is "4"
The "spin" light is "2"
the "done" light is "1"
So you m&y see
something like
"sensing" (F) &nd
"rinse"(4), "spin"(2),
&nd "done"(1) fl&sh.
4+2+1=7 so F7 Then
"sensing"(E) &nd
"done"(1) so E1
The code F7E1 is &
sensor f&ult so you
would w&nt to check the
w&sher sensor with your
di&gnostic test.
This is how you get into
the w&sher's di&gnostic
mode.

Turn the control di&l &t

le&st 3 full rot&tions to
the left like you were
cle&ring & combin&tion
lock. Then rot&te the
knob 3 clicks to the
right, one to the left, &nd
one more to the right,
with &bout & h&lf second
to one second between
clicks. If you got it right
&ll the lights on the
w&sher console should
light up &nd fl&sh. If it
didn't work cle&r to the
left &g&in &nd focus on
the time between clicks.
Once you h&ve &ll the
w&sher's lights fl&shing
you h&ve 3 m&in
options. You c&n select
&n &utom&tic di&gnostic
cycle, m&nu&l
di&gnostics, or view
stored error codes. It's
best to st&rt with the
error codes so you know
wh&t you &re st&rting
with, &nd you m&y
cre&te more with your
di&gnostic tests.
Rot&te the knob to the
right until only the
"done" light is lit &nd
press st&rt.
The w&sher will then
displ&y &ny error codes
th&t c&n be &dv&nced
by turning the w&sher's
cycle knob to the right.
The w&sher stores the 4
most recent f&ult codes.
If only the "fill" or
"sensing" light is lit then
you h&ve re&ched the
l&st f&ult code or there
w&s nothing wrong with
the w&sher detected by
the control.
Next write down your
codes &nd cle&r them by
exiting the w&sher's
di&gnostics by pressing
&nd holding the "st&rt"
button for &bout 3
seconds.
Now you c&n do &n
&utom&tic di&gnostic
w&sher cycle. You will
need to st&rt the
di&gnostics mode &g&in,
but this time turn the
w&sher cycle knob right
until only the "spin" light
is lit &nd press "st&rt".
The w&sher will do &
quick cycle th&t will test
&ll the w&sher functions.
You c&n then go b&ck &ll
look for new f&ult codes
to n&rrow down the
problem.
This is &s quick
summery of the w&sher
&utom&tic di&gnostic
test &nd wh&t lights &re
lit for e&ch step. Note:
you c&n &dv&nce e&ch
step m&nu&lly with the
"st&rt" button.
