Error Recovery Routine
When the computer detects an error, it will stop
running the current step and display a message to
indicate what type of error
was found:
● “FILL” indicates that the washer-extractor did
not fill within the allotted time.
● “EMTY” indicates that the washer-extractor did
not drain in the allotted time.
● “TEMP” indicates that the temperature sensor
has recognized an over-temperature-limit
condition.
● “ME” indicates that the computer has detected a
problem with the cycle information. The cycle
must be edited.
● “WATER” indicates that the WE-6 computer
senses low water level at the end of the stop
routine.
All outputs remain off while the message
displays, and the door cannot be unlocked.
NOTE: The WE-6 computer will not allow the door
to be opened while there is water in the washer-
extractor.
Each of these errors is considered to be recoverable.
The operator has two minutes to respond to the error
condition (except in the case of “WATER”). During
this time, the computer will turn the signal (buzzer)
relay on and off at the rate of one second on and one
second off to alert the operator to the error condition.
The washer-extractor may be restarted by pressing the
Enter key. Pressing the Enter key will restart the
cycle step for the originally programmed time period.
The cycle may be aborted by pressing the Clear key.
After aborting the cycle, the computer will go to the
normal stop routine. If the operator does not respond
to the error condition within the allocated two minutes,
the computer will automatically abort the cycle.
NOTE: The “TEMP” alarm can be recovered only
after the temperature falls below the alarm level.
Certain error conditions are considered to be non-
recoverable:
● If the door opens during a cycle, the computer
will display “DOOR.” The operator must close
the door.
Then, after the computer has detected that the
door is closed, it will automatically abort the
cycle and go to the normal stop routine.
● “OVERHT” will be displayed when the
computer detects an open or shorted temperature
input circuit or temperatures are outside of the
washer-extractor’s allowable limits. Contact a
service technician.
Motor Thermal Overload Indicator
A small indicator lamp on the side of the control
module will light to indicate that a thermal overload
switch in the motor has shut off the AC power to the
computer board, thereby preventing damage to the
motor caused by overheating and/or an overload
condition. This feature protects and extends the life of
the motor.
The thermal overload switch will automatically reset
itself after the excessive heat condition has subsided.
Before attempting to restart the washer-extractor,
determine the reason for the overload. The following
is a partial list of possible problems:
● Machine not fully drained before spin
● Out-of-balance condition
● Low voltage
● Loss of one phase on a three-phase motor
● Bad bearings
● Air circulation blocked to motor
Contact a service technician to correct serious
problems. Failure to take corrective action will
ultimately result in damage to the motor.
