Re: Known Test Procedures

As this is more of a ‘test’ procedure I have copied it into here. it is also to be found in error codes thread, will dig out a few more when the time allows. 😉

Hotpoint WMA 30/40/50 Last Error detected codes

Ensure that the main selector switch is in the Off or O position.

Press and hold the Super Rinse and Rinse Hold buttons whilst selecting H on the selector knob, and continue to hold for five seconds.

The ‘Super Rinse’, ‘Rinse Hold’ and ‘Wash’ LED’s will now be flashing.

Press the Start/Cancel button for two seconds.

The ‘Rinse Hold’ LED will be lit and the ‘Super Rinse’ LED will be flashing.
The ‘Final Spin’ LED could be on or off at this stage.

Press the Rinse Hold button briefly.

The ‘Rinse Hold’ LED will be flashing & the ‘Super Rinse’ LED will be on steady to indicate the last error routine has been initiated.

Rotate the main programme selector knob slowly anti-clockwise to programme A

Slowly rotate the selector switch clockwise through four positions A to D inclusive, pausing briefly at each programme position. Starting with A make a note of the ‘Final Spin’ LED status. it will be on or off.

When the selector knob reaches D you will have a series of Ons and Offs . This 4 bit binary code should be recorded and checked against the error codes in the following table.

……………………………………………………..A………..B………….C………..D

No spin due to O.O.B……………………….on………off………..off………off

Start butt pressed with door open…….off……….on…………off……..off
or O/C interlock.

Failure to fill in allotted time……………..on……….on……….off……….off

Failure to pump out in time allowed……off………off………on……….off

No feedback from thermistor when……off………on……….on………off
heating.

Tacho error…………………………………….on……..on……….on………..off

No feedback from tacho…………………..off……….off………off……….on
Motor O/C

Motor triac short circuit…………………….on……….off……….off……….on

That was a bit of a pain to get lined up but I hope someone may find it useful.

Re: Known Test Procedures

Point taken Martin, I do take particular care not to scan and post direct, and often do a little précis on the text as well. 😉

Re: Known Test Procedures

Whirlpool Dolphin Range of Dishwashers.
Make sure it’s empty before doing this.
Select the first program, normally rinse.
Switch off. Press and hold the start button and switch back on. Light will start to flash, release button. Press the start button and close the door. Machine will now go through a diagnostic by filling, washing, heating and draining. Any errors will be shown by the start button light flashing a code.

Re: Known Test Procedures

Quick Function Test for Baumatic BDW13/14/45.1

The following quick test procedures are used to conduct a quick test for a particular function or functions without waiting for a whole normal washing cycle. It offers a good tool to make test and diagnosis in visit to clients. The main steps and display code are as follows:

Step No.
Test Stage
Display Code
Status Explanation

00
Initiation
17
Power on; ready to run

01
Input Water
16
Input water valve on, in putting water for 15s

02
Washing pump
15
Washing pump on, 3s delay to check water
level; washing for further 10s after supply water
valves off

03
Dispenser
14
Dispenser on for 10s

04
Heating element
13
Washing pump on, heating elements on, for 15s

05
Re-generation value
12
Re-generation valve is on

06
Draining pump
11
Draining pump on, draining for further 20s after
the switch is in position

07
Test Finishing
10
Beep once, appliance stops

Procedure to enter this quick test mode:

1. Press the timer button and the power on button at the same time;

2. Then the initial stage is set with ‘17’ appearing on the LED display;

3. We can skip any step in the operating process by pressing programme button P on the

panel. And the LED display is decreased by 1 per step to 16 –15—14—13 etc to 10. The

sequence of this step is listed in the above table.

Hope it helps.

I would just like to add: that if you switch the appliance on with the door open, it will do a short test and then fire-up the compressor… very useful if you don’t want to wait for the end of a defrost cycle.

Re: Known Test Procedures

Hoover “Nextra” Washing Machines

Starting The Test Sequence

1. Press and hold button 1
2. Turn the program selector knob clockwise 2 steps
3. As soon as the LED on button 1 lights, release the button
4. All LEDs should light
5. After three seconds but within 5 seconds press button 1
6. After correctly set the two rows of LEDs, residual time/time delay and buttons should flash alternately

Auto-Test Sequence

• Fill to first level through pre-wash compartment, hot fill energised where present. If fitted the recirculation pump is also energised.

• One second pause

• Heater energised for approx 16 seconds and distribution cam on soap drawer moves the spray nozzle to main wash compartment.

• Cold valve, hot, where fitted and recirc pump, where fitted, energized. Main motor tumbles anti-clockwise at 55rpm for approx 13 seconds.

• Motor paused, filling continues

• Cold valve, hot, where fitted and recirc pump, where fitted, energized. Main motor tumbles anti-clockwise at 55rpm for approx 13 seconds. At this point, by pressing button “3” the drum speed can be reduced to 35rpm.

• Drain pump energised until pressure switch detect that the machine is empty

• Short spin, roughly 27 seconds at half the maximum rated speed

• End of test

Re: Known Test Procedures

Beko WMA765S

Flash Functional Test Program
Entrance to the test mode:
1. Turn off the machine from On/Off Button
2. Turn on the W/M from the main switch, while pressing “start/pause/cancel” button and the selected program is cotton
90. Start icon will start to blink within 3 seconds. At the moment, you can see the code of failure in follower LEDs or on 7
segment.
3. After seeing the failure, erase the failure by pressing start/pause/cancel button 3 seconds without losing any time
4. After erasing the failure code, you will be in functional test mode. Each push to the start / pause / cancel button will
represent one function.
Functional Test Sequence:
1. All LEDs on the board will start to blink after the door is locked.
2. Take in water from pre-wash compartment
3. Take in water from main wash compartment
4. Take in water from softener compartment
5. Take in water from main wash compartment if the W/M has a hot valve option (If not this step will be skipped)
6. The heater will be ON. If the water level inside the tub is not enough for the heater to switch on then all valves will be
turn on to fill the level.
7. Clockwise motor rotation with 52 rpm
8. Counterclockwise motor rotation with 52 rpm
9. Draining
10.Spinning up to maximum speed.
11. Turn on all the valves to fill a certain level in a short time for water leakage test on the production line.
12. End
13. You can get off the test mode by turning the WM off.

Faults:-

H1 : NTC OPEN CIRCUIT OR SHORT CIRCUIT ( 10000 )
H2 : HEATER OPEN CIRCUIT ( 01000 )
H3 : HEATER ALWAYS ON ( 11000 )
H4 : VALVE TRIAC SHORT CIRCUIT ( 00100 )
H5 : PUMP OPEN CIRCUIT ( 10100 )
H6 : MOTOR TRIAC SHORT CIRCUIT ( 01100 )
H7 : PRESSURE SENSOR FAILURE ( 11100 )
H11 : MOTOR / TACHO OPEN CIRCUIT ( 00110 )

Help:-

Not able to select any program ( As warning softener led blinks in program follower ) IF Yes:- Check program selector resistance and compare
the value with the table:-

1. Position ~1 Kohm
2. Position ~2 Kohm
3. Position ~3 Kohm
4. Position ~ 4Kohm
5. Position ~ 5Kohm
6. Position ~6 Kohm
7. Position ~7 Kohm
8. Position ~8 Kohm
9. Position ~9 Kohm
10. Position ~10 Kohm
11. Position ~11 Kohm
12. Position ~12 Kohm
13. Position ~13 Kohm
14. Position ~14 Kohm
15. Position ~15 Kohm
16. Position 16 Kohm
If All the resistance values ok:- Check connection between program selector and main board. If there is not a problem at connection change the Main PCB.
program selector and main board.

If All the resistance values are not ok:- Change the program selector

Is RINSE led blinking in the program follower ? If Yes:- Check Valves/ Voltage to valves/ Water supply to valves.

Is MAINWASH led blinking in the program follower? If Yes:- While programming card, an error may have occurred in one of the processing stages,
change the Main PCB.)
