the user as the same switch type controls we have used on previous front service washer.
However, it is operated by a PC Board Controller, and a two wire pressure switch that
sends a signal to the board for water level control.
GE PrecisionCare Washer is a laundry system versatile enough to truly clean almost everything
you own from heavy cottons to hand washables to dry cleanables. Specialized settings take care
of a varietyof fabrics. The GE PrecisionCare Washer has been designed to clean and care for
delicates to heavy cottons. And the washer is flexible enough to handle different size loads, from
a week's worth of the family's bed linens to a single sweater.
GE's PrecisionCare washer is a completely new design, inside and out. The result of a four-year
development program, the Precision Care system was put through rigorous GE Six Sigma tests
for quality and durability. In addition, the GE Clothes Care Institute was established especially for
this long-termproject. Staffed by accredited textile experts, the Institute is dedicated to developing
washing and drying methods that help prolong the "life" of fabric fibers.
The GE Precision Washer is offered in the Profile1M and Profile Performance Series1Mproduct
lines.

The electronic washer control replaces the cur-
rentelectromechanical timer and rotary selection
switches. This should improve the reliability of
the controls throughout the life of the washer. Another important change is that the pressure
switch now gets its' signal from the control board
and does not carry line current. It is now a two
wire connection as shown on the mini manual in
the back of this service guide.
Primarydifferencesfrom previouscontrols isthat
the cycle selection knob DOES NOT SELF AD-
VANCE. the unitsfeature LED lightsfor cycle sta-
tus, and have a Start button. The LED lights are
also used as a service technicians' diagnostics
tool.
Although the model change is called L2, it con-
sist of four variations. The service PC Control is
WH12X10106, and will require the insertion of
correct knobs and detents for the model being
serviced. Instructions are shipped with the kit.

Aboutthecontrolsettings.
DLoadSize
The water level should just cover the clothes. Adjust the load size accordingly. Loosely load clothes
no higher than the top row of holes in the washer tub.
6CustDmCalliWash/SpinSpeeds
The agitator moves clothes around for a cleaner wash: the basket spins later in the cycle to release
water from the load. The Wash/Spin Speed dial set the speed of both the agitator and the basket
With Normal wash speed, the agitator moves faster. Use for cottons, denims and play clothes. With
Gentle wash speed, the agitator moves slower. Use for delicate and knit items.
The Fast spin sped is for durable items. The slow spin speed is for delicate items like sweaters
and lingerie. When using the Slow Spin speed, clothes will be less dry than when using Fast spin speed.
The Handwash wash speed is for items labeled handwashable.
IITemperatulll
Select the water temperature for the wash and rinse cycles. Always follow fabic manufacturers care
label or instructions when laundering. Follow the water temperature guide on the washer lid.
IIWashCycle
The wash cycle controls the length of the washing process. When choosing the cycle, the Cycle
Selector knob can be pointed anywhere within the colored box. The knob can be tumed in either
direction. Turing the Cycle Selector knob after starting a cycle will stop the washer and rest the
cycle to the new selection. Press START to begin the new cycle selection.
The Cycle indicator Lights show what stage the washer is in. The wash time is the length of the wash
agitation. The 6MIN light will remain lit during drain and spin. When the Selector knob is set to a
new cycle the Indicator Lights will flash momentarily, showing what stages the cycle will go through.

BASIC WASHER OPERATION WASH, RINSE, EXTRA
RINSE AGITATION MODES:
The main wash functions are still accomplished
throughasingleortwo speedmotor,hotandcold-
water valves, and a pump. The components are
controlled by the electronic control, pressure
switch, and rotary or push button (high end) se-
lector switches.
Basic specifications for the motor, pump
and water valves are:
.FILL: timed 20 minute maximum
.AGITATION: 12 minutes
.PUMP OUT:3 minutes
.SPIN: 3 minutes
.RINSE FILL: timed, 40 minute
maximum
.RINSE: 3 minutes
.PUMP OUT: 3 minutes
.FINAL SPIN: 6 minutes
Electrical:
.Motor: 1/2hp, 10 amps, 70 amps in-rush,
120VAC
.Pump: 3.2 amps, 120VAC
.Water Valves: 0.1 amps each, 120VAC
Relays are 12V DC
The lid switch pauses all washer operations ex-
cepting water fill, when the lid is raised. The lid
switch cuts power to the D.C. relay coil for the
motor.
The pressureswitchis inserieswiththe ACpower
lineofbothwater valves. The two wire system for
the pressure switch, reads OPEN with water in
the tub.
WASHER MODES:
FILL:
Fill mode activatesthe water valves according to
temperatureselected. The cycle advances to the
next modeas soon as the pressure switch opens
(trips). A fail safe system is built into the control
to prevent serious flooding due to a failure in the
pressureswitch system. The fill is timed, and the
water valves de-energized after 40 minutes if the
pressureswitchhasnotbeentripped. Atthat point
the cyclestops and pauses. Ifthe user changes
temperature during fill, it occurs immediately at
the change. The fill LED light is on in wash and
rinse, when the washer is filling.
Wash, rinse, and extra rinse operate the motor
in agitate at the selected wash speed. Relays
switch speed, motor directionfor spin or agitate,
and main power to the motor. When speed is
changed and the motor is running, relays go
through the turn off sequence, and then turn on
at the newly selected speed. During the wash
fill, one of four lightswill be on, indicatingselec-
tion, and progresses as the cycle advances.
The wash lightremainson during pumpand spin
when the washer is in the rinsecycle. The rinse
and extra rinse lights are on during fill, rinse,
and pump, whilethe washer is in the extra rinse
cycle.
DRAIN PUMP OUT:
The control board has circuitry that detects
through the pump control relay, a measurement
of current of the pump motor. That current de-
scribes the torque the motor is outputting. That
measurement can determine if the pump motor
is pumping water, and when it is finished pump-
ing water and is pumping air.
Multiplesamplesofthe currentreadingaretaken
by the PCB, and ifacceptable allow the cycle to
continueto spin. Ifitdidn't meetthe properread-
ings, PCB will continue to sample, up to a pe-
riod of 3 minutes. If after 3 minutes the PCB
doesn't detect a decrease in the pump current,
but the pressure switch reset,the spin modewill
bestarted. Ifduringthe spin,the pressureswitch
trips, the PCBwill revert back to pump modefor
a second 3 minute pump period, and looks for a
decrease in current. Ifthat is not successful the
PCB will put washer in idle. This could be indi-
cator of a pump motor that is blocked, or a
standpipe too high.
IDLE:
The idle mode has no LED's or relays on, the
control is waiting for the consumer to touch a
keypad or switch.
8

PAUSE/STOP:
~Pausemodeoccurswhentheconsumerpresses
the stop button during the cycle, the lights that
were on indicating current cycle blink. If the start
button is not pushed in 24 hours, the control ini-
tiates drain, and final spin.
POWER OUTAGE:
In the event of a power outage, and the washer
is NOT in idle, the cycle status, and modes are
saved in EEPROM. When the power resumes,
the washer resumes where it left off. (Start but-
ton doesn't have to be pressed).
AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE
CONTROL:
The high end models have an Automatic Tem-
perature Control, ATC. It uses a mathematical
r- system to control cold, warm and hotfills by turn-
ing the hot and cold water valves on and off dur-
ingthe fill. The formula limitsthe numberof times
the valve is cycled to control noise, and wear.
ATC in the WARM setting is not allowed, it is al-
lowed when the lid is closed, this prevents the
consumerfrom havingrapidtemperaturechanges
on their hands in water stream, when the lid is
open.
When the ATC is engaged the water tempera-
ture in the tub should be maintained within the
ranges specified in the table below for the differ-
ent wash/rinse settings.
FILL IN GALLONS:
Low fill is 9 gallons, and the maximum fill is 22
gallpns. A 50 ohm thermistor is located in the
outlet stream of the water valve. The thermistor
is accurateto .:!:3%,and is usedto estimatethe
temperature of the water in the tub.
SPOT:
When the SPOT button is pressed, the cold wa-
ter valve is turned on for 8 seconds. The button
works in pause or run mode only, when the lid is
raised and the pressure switch is closed. (not a
tub full of water).
