5.3.11 Unbalance
If the load is excessively out of balance, the spin routine will stop and a redistribution of the
goods will take place. If three consecutive out of balances occur, the control will end the current
program. After the first unbalance, the balance indicator will light on the EL6 control panel and
remain illuminated until a new program is started. The balance indicator light does not necessarily
indicate a problem, but that one or more retries was required. The FM7 has no indicator.
5.3.12 Power Failure
If the power fails during execution of a program, and is of less than one second, it is ignored. If the
failure is longer than one second, the machine stops. Upon restoration of mains power, the display
shows CYCLE CONTINUE? and the power failure indicator illuminates on the front panel (EL6
only - FM7 has no indicator). If you wish to restart the program at the point in which power failed,
press the START key. At this point, the program restarts at the point of power failure and the
power failure indicator turns off. If you wish to cancel the program, simply press the RESET key.
This function is not active while a single cycle is running.
5.3.13 End of Program
When a program has completed, the message PLEASE WAIT is displayed and the buzzer sounds.
The buzzer can be silenced by pressing the RESET key. If the temperature or water level are out of
bounds, the display shows the offending value and the door cannot be opened.
5.3.14 Malfunction Alarms
The state of the water temperature and water levels are constantly monitored to prevent function-
ing problems with these devices. Watch Dog Timers (WDT) are used to prevent cycle failure when
temperatures, fills, drains, and levels dont meet programmed values. In the event of a program
fault, the buzzer sounds and the display changes to show the fault:
LEVEL FAULT
Indicates a problem with the level sensing system. This could be a loose or cracked water level
tube, the level sensor, or the level sensing circuit. As long as the system detects a problem with the
level sensing system, the machine will be inoperable. The buzzer can be disabled with the RESET.
Refer to the EL6 Manual for possible remedies.
TEMP FAULT
Indicates a problem with the temperature sensing circuitry, temperature probe, or wiring. The ma-
chine continues to function, although auxiliary heating (if equipped) is disabled. The Temperature
fault indicator on the control panel will be illuminated (EL6 only - FM7 has no indicator).
