Board Input Test
While in Service Mode, pressing the
Spin Only key will begin the Board Input
Test. This test turns on a specified output
after a key press. Pressing the Spin Only key again
cancels the test. (Display shows “in”).
While in Service Mode follow chart to check respective
function.
When the Rotary Cycle Selector knob is set to
“Super Wash
” and the Rotary Cycle Selector knob
is pressed, the door position will be displayed: “0P” if
open, “CL” if closed.
When the Rotary Cycle Selector knob is set to
“Normal
” and the Rotary Cycle Selector knob is
pressed, the Lock position will be displayed: “UL” if
unlocked, “L0” if locked.
When the Rotary Cycle Selector knob is set to
“Whites
” and the Rotary Cycle Selector knob is
pressed, the High water level will be displayed: “
0
if below level, “
1” if above level. The High water
level is defined as the over flow water level.
When the Rotary Cycle Selector knob is set to
“Wrinkle Control
” and the Rotary Cycle Selector
knob is pressed, the Medium water level will be
displayed: “—0” if below level, “—1” if above level.
The Medium water level is defined as the minimum
water level needed such that the heater can be
turned ‘ON’ (only MAH8700* and MAH9700* models
have heaters).
When the Rotary Cycle Selector knob is set to
“Colors
” and the Rotary Cycle Selector knob is
pressed, the Low water level will be displayed: “_0” if
below level, “_1” if above level. The Low water level
is defined as the reset water level.
When the Rotary Cycle Selector knob is set to
“Hand Wash
” and the Rotary Cycle Selector knob
is pressed, the level of Tub unbalance will be
displayed: “UC” if balanced, “U0” if unbalanced. “U0
will be displayed during the time when the machine
is correcting for the unbalance; e.g. slowing down to
redistribute the load or to get to a lower spin speed.
Once the situation has been corrected (i.e. the load
has begun tumbling or the lower speed has resulted
in an acceptable amount of balance); “UC” will once
again be displayed.
When the Delay key is pressed, the water
temperature will be displayed in Degrees F
(Fahrenheit).
When the Rotary Cycle Selector knob is set to
“Delicates
” and the Rotary Cycle Selector knob is
pressed, the water temperature will be displayed in
degrees C (Celsius).
When the Rotary Cycle Selector knob is set to
“Super Wash
”, the LED lights up. Revolve Rotary
Cycle Selector knob clockwise until all LED’s are
‘OFF’, then press Rotary Cycle Selector knob to
display frequency reading. “2560” means 25.60 Hz
(washer empty).Frequency value drops as water
rises.
While performing the Board Input Test in Service
Mode, follow this quick reference chart to check
respective functions.
