Service Mode
Service Mode enables service personnel to verify the
operation of the washing machine and diagnose problems.
Service Mode can be entered in the middle of any wash
cycle without interrupting the cycle. While in Service
Mode, the technician can cancel the current cycle, set a
continuous running mode, start a variety of special service
tests and view diagnostic displays.
Enter / Exit Service Mode
To enter Service Mode press the Chime and Extra Rinse
keys for 3 seconds or until the control beeps.
NOTE: The washer must be ‘ON’ before Service Mode
can be entered.
The motor speed will be displayed when started (motor not
running display will be “0”). The present state of the
machine will not be changed (i.e., the current cycle in
progress will not be interrupted and only the display will
change). All LED’s will be turned ‘OFF’ except the Door
Lock LED; it will continue to display the condition of the
door lock.
To exit Service Mode:
1) Press Chime and Extra Rinse keys for 3 seconds
again, or
2) Press Power Off button, or
3) Unplug the machine.
To pause while in Service Mode:
Pressing the Rotary Cycle Selector knob while running a
test will pause the individual test.
