Operation -- Sensors (1)

1A. Load Sensor (WFL2060UC)
At a predefined points during the initial fill, the washer determines if it needs more water using a pressure switch. This is due to differences in the absorption of the laundry and the size of the loads.
1B. Dynamic Load Sensor (WFR2460UC)

During the entire fill the washer continually adjusts for the size of the load and determines if more water is needed using an analog pressure switch and a flow meter.
2. Digital Temperature Sensor (WFL2060UC & WFR2460UC)

The thermostat monitors the temperature of the water and controls the length of time the heating element is on, ensuring the proper temperature for the chosen cycle.
3A. Suds Sensor (WFL2060UC)

During the beginning of the1st rinse/spin phase, the washer determines if there are excessive suds and automatically adds 2 rinses (if necessary). This is accomplished via the pressure switch and the motor synchronization system.
3B. Continuous Suds Sensor (WFR2460UC)

Checking the pumping out phase of the main wash, the beginning of the 1st rinse/spin phase and the actual spin speed vs. the programmed spin speed, the washer determines if there are excessive suds and automatically adds up to 2 rinses (if necessary). This is accomplished via the pressure switch, analog pressure switch and the motor synchronization system.
4. Unbalanced Load Sensor (WFL2060UC & WFR2460UC)

During the final spin cycle the washer monitors the positioning and balance of the load. If the load unbalanced, the washer stops and adjusts the load up to 15 times and reduces the spin speed to finish the cycle. This is accomplished via the motor synchronization system.
17

1A/1B. Load & Dynamic Load Sensors
Mechanical Pressure Switch - (WFL 2060UC & WFR 2460 UC) measures the water
level after the first fill. If the water level is high (like for smaller loads), the pressure increases and the pressure switch does not provide more water.
Mechanical Analog Pressure Pressure Switch Switch
Analog Pressure Switch - (WFR 2460UC)

Precise measuring of actual water level Accurate load detection Control of the pump - noise reduction Time reduction - no pumping when empty
BENEFITS: Continuous adjustment of wash times Water and energy consumed varies according to load size
18

1A/1B. Flow Meter
Exact monitoring of water inflow. Ensures exact control of water inlet valves so that there is always the right amount of water for wash and rinse cycles. Together with the pressure switch, there is a continuous adjustment of wash time, water and energy in relation to the load size. The flow meter works independently of water pressure.
BENEFITS: Minimizes water consumption Exact Load Detection Superior Cleaning Performance
19

1A/1B. Flow Meter
Water
Propeller emits signals (independent from water pressure)
An internal water clock monitors water inflow via soak compartment. Ensures exact control of water inlet valves - always right amount of water. Independent from water pressure.
