ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS
Level controlled pumping out
Pumping out is made to the return level for the normal level, plus
additional 30 seconds, max. 1,5 minutes
Advantages:
*By installations with reduced drain flow, the pumping out is
prolonged to prevent the machine to go on washing with "old"
water" left in the machine.
* By normal drain flow there will be no noise by pumping of mixture
water-air.
Temperature block
In the wool program, the temperature Stop step has been maximized to 24
minutes. This means that if the temperature by mistake is set on, say 90°C,
the temperature still will not be higher than good 40°C (can vary a little
depending on the temperature of incoming water, the size of the load etc.).
In Whites wash/Cotton programs and in the synthetic programs the time for
the temperature stop is maximized to 80 min. This prevents among other
things the water to cook by broken thermostat (if the capillary tube is
broken) or that the machine goes on "for ever" by broken heater.
Out-of-balance-control by spin
The spin sequence consists of a short spin-up to 500 rpm, a so called
"peak", distribution and a longer spin. A tacho generator, placed on the
motor, measures the speed difference between the ”up-hill and down-hill”
before the spin. The greater the diffenrence, the greater the un-balance. If
the unbalance is too large, the spin is interrupted and the machine
distributes the washing and tries again.
By the peak maximal 9 start attempts are made,where the unbalance must
be below 0,8 kg for spin-up. If this is failed, additional max. 6 start attempts
are made with max 1,2 kg unbalance permitted.lf the unbalance is still too
high, machine will pass the spin step.
If the machine has made the ”peak”, the washing is distributed again,
start attempts to spin are made. Hereby max. 9 start attempts are made
with max. 0,7 kg permitted unbalance to reach 1000 rpm. After that further 6
start attempts are made on unbalance level 0,7 and 1,2 kg: If the unbalance
is less than 0,7 kg, the spin is made by 1000 rpm, if it is 0,7-1,2, the spin is
by 800 rpm.
If the unbalance is still too high, the machine passes the spin step.

2Thermostat
The thermostat is combined with the main onloff switch. A manual safety
catch, which can be disengaged, must be pressed in, when turning the
thermostat to higher temperatures.
3Motor
The motor is a 8-pole combined capacitor motor and a commutator
motor. The 8-pole section drives the motor at normal wash speed with
reversing, while the commutator section produces the 900 rpm and
1400 rpm spin speeds. The motor is protected by a built-in thermal
overload cutout.
4Outlet pump
The outlet pump is combined with a integral button trap, which can be
cleaned by the customer.
5Inlet valve
The inlet valve provides three-way control of the water to direct it to the
appropriate inlets for 1) prewash and rinses, 2) main wash and 3) fabric
conditioner. A fourth inlet valve can be fitted for machines intended for
use with hot water supplies.
6 Heater element
The heater elements are of 1200 W and 1800 W repectively. Machines
with heater contactor have elements with fuse.
7 Capacitor
The capacitor is of 16 µF, and is mounted together on the electrical
component tray.
8Level switch
There are two level switches with two levels each:
• Normal level for wash and rinse and high level for Super rinse,
wool program and cool down.
• Spin protection level, advances the timer over the spin, if the the
water is not pumped out. Overfill level; cuts the current to the inlet valves

door in the normal manner.
Pressing the pushbutton operates a solenoid which releases the door catch.
The door can be opened in an emergency by removing the lower panel,
unscrewing the emergency ring and pulling it. A microswitch fitted beside the
door-opening solenoid interrupts the power supply to the machine when the
door is open.

A tacho generator, placed on the motor, measures the speed difference

The greater the diffenrence, the greater the un-balance. If the unbalance is
too large, the spin is interrupted and the machine distributes the washing
and tries again.
By the peak maximal 15 start attempts are made,where the unbalance must
be below 1,2 kg for spin-up. If the unbalance is still too high, the machine
will pass the spin step.
If the machine has made the "peak", the washing is distributed again, and
new start attempts to spin are made.
Hereby max. 6 start attempts are made with max. 0,4 kg permitted
unbalance to reach 1300-1400/1500 rpm. After that further 5 start attempts
are made on unbalance level 0,7 kg and 4 start attempts are made on
unbalance level 1,2 kg. If the unbalance is less than 0,4 kg, the
spin is made by 1300-1400/1500, if it is 0,4-0,7 kg the spin is by 900-1200
rpm and if it is 0,7-1,2 the spin is by 800 rpm.
