Cycle Execution (Continued)
Wash
As soon as water level is reached (and any
programmed temperature is reached), the
displayed time begins counting down at
one-second intervals.
The machine will agitate low speed forward,
pause, low speed reverse, pause, then repeat
this sequence for the programmed time. The
table below shows available agitation options.
Note:
If the water does not reach the
programmed temperature in 30 minutes, the
computer will proceed with the cycle. (The
time countdown will resume as though
temperature had been reached, but the
computer will continue heating).
Drain
The drain valve will open after the programmed
segment time has elapsed. The cylinder will
turn counterclockwise (forward) at wash speed
while in the drain step. This counterclockwise
direction mirrors the spin rotation and is,
therefore, also considered forward.
The cylinder accelerates to distribution speed
seven seconds into the drain step. About five
seconds later, the drain opens.
Note:
The machine should drain in
30 seconds. If the machine fails to drain,
contact a qualified service technician.
Spin
Spin steps for all segments except Fill 6 are
low-speed spins. These spin steps are called
intermediate spins. For cycles 1–14, the spin
step for the Fill 6 segment is the final spin and
is thus a high-speed spin. For cycles 15 and 16
(gentle cycles), the final spin is always a
low-speed spin.
Intermediate spin steps can be 30 to 240
seconds in length. Final spin steps can be from
1 to 10 minutes in length. Any spin step can be
skipped by programming 0 for the spin time.
However, in order to have a high speed spin in
the Fill 6 segment, a nonzero time must be
programmed for that segment.
Note:
An automatic 25-second coastdown
follows all spins. This does not add to the cycle
time because the fill for next segment begins
during the coastdown.
If the cycle program segment spin time is set to
zero, the computer moves to the next segment
of the cycle program. If the segment is at the
end of a cycle program, the computer goes into
the stop routine.
