No. Process Explanation

1. Stay • Electrical power is supplied.

• Washer is ready to work and the micom is in the active mode.

2. Water • After loading laundry and selecting a course and a cycle, water is
supply supplied and drum rotates.
• When a user selects Pre-wash course, water is supplied through pre
wash valve.

3. Soaking • To get laundry wet, drum rotates clockwise and counterclockwise.

and washing • If water amount is insufficient at this time, the Inlet valve will supply
laundry water again.

4. Heating and • The heater heats the water in drum to the selected water temperature
washing and drum rotates for washing.

5. Washing • When the water temperature reaches to the selected temperature,

and heating the heating stops and only the drum rotates.
6. / washing • If water temperature becomes lower than selected because of
re-supplied water, the heating starts again.

7. Washing • Fuzzy logic decides washing time according to the laundry load, water
temperature, and other factors.

8. Drainage • A pump motor drains the water from the drum.

• After sensing drained water amount by water level frequency, spin starts.
• When a heating course is selected, stay cooling process is performed to
decrease the water temperature gradually to prevent laundry from being
damaged and for safety reasons.

9. Untangling • It balances laundry load and senses the eccentricity of the load, to only
(Sensing allow spinning without vibration.
eccent- • If the eccentricity is worse than the allowed level, it repeats the
ricity) disentangling process. When the repeated time is more than allowed
level, it displays UE.
• If the eccentricity is good, the intermittent spin starts.
• During this process, the drain pump works for drainage intermittently.
No. Process Explanation

10 Intermittent • To reach the correct set speed, the motor rotates clockwise and
spin counterclockwise directions after spin process starts.
• If the water level frequency is lower than 23.0 kHz,
a washer senses suds and starts suds removal process.

11 Rinse • In this process, the remaining water during washing process is

spin extracted and the selected speed is kept.
• Removing suds process is in active mode at this cycle.

12 Remaining • After spin finishes, the drum rotates by remaining spin power until it
spin stops. Motor power is off.
• This process is overlapped with next process.

13 Rinse water • Water supply for rinse process.

14 Rinse • Rinsing process.

15 Last • After spin finishes and power is not supplied to motor, the drum
drainage rotates by remaining spin power.
• If rinse hold is selected, the drainage is not proceeded after rinse
finishes.
16 Disentangling • The same as item 9.

17 Intermittent spin • The same as item 10.

18 Main spin1 • The same as item 11.

19 Main spin2 • At the end of a main spin, the spin speed will reach the selected rpm.

20 Remaining spin • The same with item 12.

Disentangling • After spin finishes, disentangling starts to remove unbalanced

21
laundry.

End • After ‘end’ signal is displayed, it stays for 8 seconds and power is
22 automatically turned off. (Auto type door switch)
• After door switch is off, end signal is displayed in the case of
manual type and it takes around 2 minute to turn off door switch.

Door switch

Function The door lock switch assembly consists of a heating PTC, a bimetal,
a protection PTC, and a solenoid. It locks the door during the wash cycle.

1. Operation for door closing

- After the system turns on, PTC heating starts up through terminals 2 and
4 authorizing the power on.
- After PTC heating starts up and before solenoid operation is driven,
force the system to the off position through CAM.
Door close
- Authorizing one impulse through terminal 3~4 (PTC & solenoid) will
make the door locked.
- Door lock is detected when switches in terminal 4~5 are set closed.
CAM rotation will forcibly clear off the connection.
The maximum, allowable number of impulse authorizations is 2.
Upon the third authorization of the impulse, the position of CAM goes
back to the door-open position.
- Authorizing the impulse occurs in 4.5 seconds upon input for max
performance and two authorization processes are allowed at most.
Normal operation period of PTC heating: 1.5 – 5 seconds.
(Defects from the development process.)

2. Operation for door opening

- With a temporary stop, door automatically opens by CAM rotations after
authorizing the impulse from the terminal, 3 ~ 4 and the power turns
off – maximum of 3 times of the authorizing period.
- Upon the fourth authorization of the impulse, the position of CAM goes
back to the door-close position.

Function The Direct Drive motor can be driven from stopped to maximum speed in infinite
steps in either direction.
There are 36 poles on the stator; 12 permanent magnets spaced around the rotor.
There are no brushes to wear out. Unlike a more traditional brushless motor, the
rotor surrounds the stator rather than being attached to it.

 The hall sensor determines the speed and direction of the motor.
It also can read that the load is off balance when the drum speed fluctuates.

If measuring voltage from the Main PCB Assembly to the Hall Sensor, use the
following steps:
1. Unplug power cord.
2. Remove rear washer panel.
3. Locate Hall sensor connector on the stator behind the rotor.
4. Place meter leads on terminals 5 to 4, white to gray.
5. Plug in power cord, close door, and press power button.
DO NOT PRESS START!
6. You should measure 10 to 15 VDC. If 10 to 15 VDC is present, control board,
white wire, and gray wire are OK! If not, follow testing output voltages on
control board in next section.
 7. To measure output signal voltage from the hall sensor, carefully move test
leads to terminals 1 to 4, blue and gray. Slowly rotate motor rotor by hand.
You should read a pulsing 10 VDC. If 10 VDC is measured from 1 to 4, move
lead on blue wire to red wire, terminal 2. Repeat rotating motor rotor by hand.
You should read a pulsing 10 VDC from red to gray.
8. If pulsing 10 VDC is measured from 1 to 4 and 2 to 4, hall sensor is OK! If either
test netted only 9 to 10 VDC without changing (no pulsing) the hall sensor is
likely defective. Disconnect power by unplugging washer and ohm check hall
sensor to verify failure of the hall sensor.

1. Unplug power cord.
2. Remove rear panel.
3. Remove washer top.
4. Remove main PCB assembly cover as shown in figure below.
5. Locate the white hall sensor 4-wire connector using wiring diagram wire colors
as your guide.
6. Plug in power cord, close door, and press the button. DO NOT PRESS START!
7. Place meter leads on White & Gray wires. You should read 10 to 15 VDC output
from the Main PCB Assembly to the Hall sensor. If no 10 to 15 VDC is
measured, the control board is defective.
8. Place meters leads on Blue to Gray. Turn motor rotor slowly by hand. You
should measure a pulsing 10 VDC. Place meter leads on Red to Gray. Turn
motor rotor slowly by hand. You should measure a pulsing 10 VDC. If both tests
measure a pulsing 10 VDC, hall sensor and harness OK. If either or both tests
measures 9 to 10 volts, but does not pulse or change, Hall sensor has failed
and must be replaced. IF zero (0) voltage is measured on either test, check red
blue wires for continuity. Repair or replace harness as needed.
