The diagnostic tests must be performed on the machine without a wash load because the out of balance detection system is disabled. Set the cycle selector to "DRAIN" Press the : a) "RINSE HOLD" button twice b) "INTENSIVE RINSE" button twice c) "START" button once, The control panel will now display : · Temperature 60°C (Does not change for duration of the test sequence). · 1200 speed LED on (Does not change for duration of the test sequence). · "PREWASH" programme sequence LED on · "WASH" programme sequence LED on · "RINSE" programme sequence LED on · "RINSE HOLD" programme sequence LED on · "DRAIN/SPIN" programme sequence LED on - (This is Step 1 in the Table over) Drain pump runs for approximately six seconds and the test sequence automatically advances to Step 2.

Note 1 Unless indicated by "Advances automatically", the test cycle can only be advanced by pressing the appropriate button once within five minutes, otherwise the machine will pump out and a false fault will be indicated. Note 2. This part of the test sequence can be terminated after the fill by pressing the "Rinse hold" button but the NTC will not be checked for accuracy. Note 3. This part of the test sequence can be terminated at any time by changing the cycle on the cycle selector then reselecting drain and press the start button. Once the machine is empty of water, the start button may be pressed and held until the start button light goes off to reset the timer ready for the next wash. If a failure is detected during the test sequence the timer will : 1. initiate the safety step routine : A. Drain pump runs until pressure switch resets plus 30 seconds. I. II. III. 2. Main motor is turned off. Water inlet valves are turned off. Element is turned off

Stop the machine and illuminate the speed indicator LED's in a pattern to indicate the fault code.
