Hold Quick Spin Step
If the Rotary Cycle Selector knob is pressed
during the Quick Spin Test, the machine will hold
at the next highest index speed for 10 minutes (1 minute on
early MAH8700’s). At the end of ‘Hold’ time, the machine will
resume and finish the Quick Spin Test. To cancel the ‘Hold’
and allow the Quick Spin Test to continue, press the Delay
and Rinse & Spin keys.
Fast Time Down Test
While any test or cycle is running in Service
Mode
, pressing the
Wash/Rinse Temp key will advance the program to the
next cycle stage. Cycle stages are located at key
locations in the machine operation. As the program is
advanced it will index as follows: The end of each fill (the
same as the beginning of a tumble session for Wash, or
Rinse); at the beginning of a drain session; at the
beginning of a spin session (at this position, check the
water level, if over reset level, drain first before entering
the spin function); at the beginning of a fill session; at the
beginning of Bleach fill; at the beginning of Fabric
Softener fill; and every 3 minutes during the tumble
sessions (Wash and Rinses).
Quick Service Cycle
While in Service Mode, pressing the
Wash/Rinse Temp
and Soil Level keys for
3 seconds will start a Quick Service Cycle. This will be a
quick check of all systems. If display shows “od” then open
and close door. Pressing Spin Speed key will advance to the
next cycle. The following steps are performed: Display shows
“SC”.
1. Hot water for 5 seconds and then turn off.
2. Cold water for 5 seconds and then turn off.
3. Bleach valve for 5 seconds and then turn off.
4. Softener dispenser using cold water and bleach water for
5 seconds and then turn off.
5. Turn ‘ON’ Cold valves until the control detects proper
water level. During this time, tumble at 45 rpm for 5
seconds in a clockwise direction, pause for 2 seconds,
tumble at 45 rpm for 5 seconds in a counterclockwise
direction, pause for 2 seconds. Continue pattern until the
water level is detected.
Minimum time for this segment to be 5 seconds. After
water height is achieved, continue tumble pattern for
another 14 seconds. If the washer is equipped, turn ‘ON’
heater for first 5 seconds of this tumble pattern. Advance
the washer to next step if water is not connected to
machine.
6. Drain and spin to maximum speed. Machine will achieve
maximum speed using the safest, fastest method.
7. Display a “PA” (Passed) continuously for 5 seconds if no
diagnostic codes were logged during the test. Washer will
return to the normal Service Mode at the end of the 10
second period.
The “SC” in the display will blink as an indication of failure,
and continue blinking until the Quick Service Cycle test has
reached the end. Any diagnostic code logged during this test
will result in failure of the test, but will not necessarily stop the
test. During the Quick Service Cycle, pressing the Spin
Speed
key will advance to the next step. Pressing the Rinse
& Spin and Spin Only keys will suspend the machine at the
current step for up to 10 minutes or until Delay and Chime
keys are pressed. All LED’s should flash ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ while
the system is suspended or on hold.
LED/Switch Test
While in Service Mode, press the Delay key
to start a LED/Switch Test. All the LED’s can be toggled or
slewed by pressing the key associated with the LED or set of
LED’s. All keys (including the Power Off button) must be
pressed within 5 minutes for this test to pass. “PA” will be
displayed for five (5) seconds once all keys have been
pressed and the test is completed. Following 20 seconds of
inactivity at any point, this test will exit without any display.
The Power Off button must be pressed twice within 30
seconds to cancel this test.
