FUNCTIONAL TEST PROGRAM
All models of machines have a functional test program. Depending on the
software version will depend on the type of functional test that can be carried
out.
Functional Test Program 1 is valid for products, which were produced before
August 2006 (serial numbers begin with 06-XXXXXX-08). The old and new
tests order are:
Functional Test Program 1
To enter the test program follow the steps below.
Note: Remove any garments from the machine before commencing this
test.
Step 1
Ensure that the machine is turned on at the power point, and off on the
display, also ensure that the On/Off button is in the Off position.
Step 2
Using the program selector knob select Cotton 90oC.
Step 3
Press and hold the Start/Pause button, then press the On/Off button once
keeping the Start/Pause button held down for an additional four seconds.
To confirm that the Test Program has been entered correctly “-- --“ will be
displayed.
Functional Test Sequence
To start the functional test press the Start/Pause button, to advance to the
next step press the Start/Pause button. To exit or cancel from the test
program press the On/Off button.

Note: If a particular function fails to activate it would indicate a failure in
that area.
1. LED check All the LED’s on the display will blink.
2. Prewash (Cold) Fills from the cold valve into the Prewash
Compartment
3. Main wash (Cold) Fills from the cold valve into the Main wash
Compartment
4. Softener (Cold) Fills from the cold valve into the Softener
Compartment
5. Main wash (Hot) Fills from the hot valve into the prewash
Compartment
6. Heater Element
Turns the heater on. For heater testing refer to
section on heater testing.
Note: If the water level is not high enough then both
the hot and cold water valve will turn on to fill to the
correct level.
7. Motor (CW) Main wash motor rotates in a clockwise direction at a
speed of 52 RPM.
8. Motor (CCW) Main wash motor rotates in an anti-clockwise
direction at a speed of 52 RPM.
9. Drain Pump Turns the drain pump on.
10. Spinning
Spins to the maximum speed of 1000RPM.
Note: At this point we would recommend that the test
sequence be terminated by pressing the On/Off
button. If the Start/Pause button is pressed once
more all the water valves will turn on and it will fill to
the first lever of the pressure sensor, this is used for
production testing only.

Functional Test Program 2
Note: The following information is applicable to software version 6038
and later.
To enter the test program follow the steps below.
Note: Remove any garments from the machine before commencing this
test.
Step 1
Ensure that the machine is turned on at the power point, and off on the
display, also ensure that the On/Off button is in the Off position.
Step 2
Using the program selector knob select Cotton 90oC.
Step 3
Press and hold the Start/Pause button, then press the On/Off button once
keeping the
Start/Pause button held down for an additional four seconds.
To confirm that the Test Program has been entered correctly “----“ will be
displayed.
Note: At this stage the door lock will activate. If the test program is
terminated early, you must wait until the door interlock has cooled
sufficiently.
Functional Test Sequence
To start the functional test press the Start/Pause button, to advance to the
next step press the
Start/Pause button. To exit or cancel from the test program press the On/Off
button.
Note: If a particular function fails to activate it would indicate a failure in
that area.

On entering the functional test “----“ will be displayed after
the door is locked.
1. Fault code If a fault code has occurred the fault code will appear on
the display.
2. Software
version The software version of the Control Module will be displayed in the LED screen.
3. LED check All the LED’s on the display will blink.
4. Motor (CW) The number ‘4’will be displayed on the seven segment
display, if the water level is above flood level the drain
pump is activated until a safe level is reached, then the
main wash motor will rotate at 52 rpm in a clockwise
direction.
5. Motor (CCW) The number ‘5’ will be displayed on the seven segment
display; the main wash motor will rotate at 52 rpm in a
counter-clockwise direction.
6. Motor (CW) The number ‘6’ will be displayed on the seven segment
display; the main wash motor will spin up to 900rpm in a
clockwise direction.
7. Prewash
(Cold) The number ‘7’ will be displayed. Water will fill from the cold valve into the Prewash Compartment while
decelerating form 900rpm.
8. Main Wash
(Cold) The number ‘8’ will be displayed. Water will fill from the cold valve into the main wash Compartment.
9. Softener
(Cold) The number ‘9’ will be displayed. Water will fill from the cold valve into the softener Compartment.
10. Main Wash
(Hot) The number ‘10’ will be displayed. Water will fill from the hot valve into the Main wash Compartment.
11. Heater
Element The number ‘11’ will be displayed. The heater will turn on. For heater testing refer to section on heater testing. Note:
If the water level is not high enough then both the hot and
cold water valves will turn on to fill to the correct level.
12. Spray pump
test (not fitted
to AU models)
‘12’ will be displayed on the seven segment display.
The heater turns on.
Spray pump is tested (if fitted)
The main wash motor will rotate at a speed of 52rpm
13. ‘12’ will be displayed and the drain pump will activate.
HEATER TESTING
During the above test program it is possible to test the heater element.

9
Remove the tabletop.
Start the test program.
Place a clamp-on amp meter around either Grey or Red wire going to the
element.
The heater will activate when the test program reaches Step 6.
The current draw will be approximately 8.5 amps.
Diagnostics
If a fault occurs in the product one of four LED’s will start flashing. To
determine the cause of the LED flashing follow the procedures as listed
below.
Prewash LED flashing This fault relates directly to the
control module and it will require
replacement.
Main Wash LED flashing The most likely cause of the Main
Wash LED flashing is due to a
component
Rinse LED flashing To rectify this fault refer to the
flowchart “No Water”
Conditioner LED flashing To rectify this fault refer to the flow
chart “Unable to select a program”
Service Mode
To enter Service Mode follow the steps below.
(a). Ensure that the power to the machine is switched on.
(b). Press the On/Off button to switch the machine on (wait 5 seconds until
the display turns on).
(c). Press and hold Prewash & Extra Rinse down for 2 seconds.
(d). If a fault code is present it will be displayed in the LED screen.
(e). If a fault code is present refer to section on fault codes.

10
FAULT CODES
Before replacing any components be sure to check the harness and
connections.
Note: As soon as a failure is detected by the electronics, the fault code is
written to memory. The fault code can only be viewed by entering the Service
Mode.
The fault code will be erased from the memory at the commencement of the
next cycle, therefore we would recommend accessing the Service Mode and
checking for fault codes before starting another (test) cycle.
If the fault code is not viewed before the subsequent cycle has started, it will
be necessary to put the machine through a cycle until fault re-occurs.
Fault Code Short Description Reason
H1 NTC Open or Short
Circuit. (Refer to No Heat
flow chart)
If the NTC sensor has failed, the
program is completed without heating,
then the error code occurs.
H2 Heater Open Circuit.
(Refer to No Heat flow
chart)
If the heater is open circuit the
program is completed without heating,
then the error code occurs.
H3 Heater Always On Replace control module if fault is
observed.
H4 Valve Triac Short Circuit Replace control module if fault is
observed.
H5 Pump Open Circuit /
Blocked. (Refer to Not
draining flow chart)
If the water level has not changed in 4
min the machine will pause for 2 min, it
then will repeat this process a total of 8
times before displaying the fault.
H6 Wash Motor Triac Short
Circuit. (Refer to Spinning
When Washing flow chart)
If the Triac short circuits, the motor will
spin up to high speed, it then checks 3
times for 3 seconds with a 30 second
pause in between it then opens the
relay in the motor the water drains and
reverts back to the start position.
H7 Pressure Sensor Failure.
(Refer to No Water flow
chart)
H11 Motor / Tacho Open
Circuit. (Refer to Washing
Machine Doesn’t Work,
After filling, if the motor does not run or
the electronics have not received a
signal from the Tacho, the machine
