Re: Machine on test
Hi Martin
From memory, with the door closed and switched off; hold in “start/pause”, at the same time switch on. Keep “start /pause” depressed until led above it goes on or off 😕 then release “start/pause”button. You should now be presented within a few seconds, the door locking and test of ALL leds.
You then press “Start/Pause” to increment through the test sequence.Hope thats right Im sure it is 😆

Re: Machine on test
Nope, not on my machine it don’t 😕
I can press the Start/Pause/Cancel button ’til I’m blue in the face and nowt happens!
If I press and hold the Prewash button I get the last error detected but then I cannot clear the error (fault code) by pressing and holding the Start/Pause/Cancel button as it suggests in the destructions???.
So how the bloody hell I get it into Test Mode is anyones guess, I guess? 😉
Re: Machine on test
You are holding the start/pause down and not just pressing it at the initiation of the test prog?

Re: Machine on test
Yes, I hold the Start/Pause/Cancel button in and hold it there, switch on the On/Off button and sit there singing “ISE see you baby!” for 5 minutes. But nothing happens?
Re: Machine on test
Ok Martin
Make sure you give that door a good push, being new they sometimes don’t fully engage, and therefore will not go into test mode.Will PM you aswell

Spookily enough I have to admit you were right on the 50{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} Ken. :tup:
As stated last weekend, I would do the same load at 1200rpm, but this time completely drain the machine. In doing so, I placed a tray under the drain filter then set it to do a 1500 spin cycle only.
The result was that a further 450ml of water was spun from the load, some 50{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} less than my previous test but nonetheless proving that the faster the spin, the more water extracted. And that the ISE machine ‘does what it says on the tin’ 😆
kwatt wrote:So, did you weigh out what you put in then?
Don’t be silly, as I said earlier (very unscientific test) and we only have a set of bathroom scales that goes up to 20 stone. Carol stands on the scales with the laundry basket, I take a reading (19stone 3 lbs) then lob the dry towels in the basket (19stone 12 lbs). 😆
Now unfortunately doing the same with the damp towels will put the reading off the scale, so we just have to guess the damp weight. And I will need to find my old college slide rule for that and get back to you… :rotfl:
It is hard to do it Martin as you’d have to have two identical sets of towels for a start as there is obviously different sizes, fabric mixes and therefore water retention rates to compensate for. So the only way to be accurate to any degree IMO would be to do as you have done but apply the conditions above.
I only know about the water retention stuff (makes perfect sense when you think about it) because of a problem with early 1990’s Candy’s that I had to solve and that played a major part in it. It’s actually quite fascinating the differences between loads and just what a washer has to put up with in terms of varying conditions. Sometimes I wonder how many of the crappy ones we see now in the field ever got out the starting gate.
Other then that what you’ve done is giving a general guidline which states more water is extracted, but you can’t really quantify the results.
