FEATURES Direct Drive System The advanced Brushless DC motor directly drives the drum without belt and pulley. 5 Tilted Drum and Large Door Opening Tilted drum and large opening make it possible to load and unload clothing more easily. Time-Released Dispenser Detergent, fabric softener and bleach are dispensed separately at the right time during wash cycle. Automatic Wash Load Detection Automatically detects the load and optimizes the washing time. Child Lock The Child lock prevents children from pressing any button to change the settings during operation. 4

6 2-2. NEURO FUZZY WASHING TIME OPTIMIZATION To get the best washing performance, optimal time is determined by the water temperature, the selected washing temperature, and the size of the load. water temperature washing time selected washing temperature NEURO- FUZZY rinsing time the best washing performance load size spin rhythm, time SENSING PROCESSING DETERMINATION EFFECT 2-3. WATER LEVEL CONTROL This model incorporates a pressure sensor which can sense the water level in the tub. The water supply is stopped when the water level reaches the preset level, the washing program then proceeds. Spinning does not proceed until the water in the tub drains to a certain level DOOR CONTROL The door can be opened by pulling the door handle whenever washer is not in operation. When the cycle is completed, the DOOR LOCKED light will turn off. If a power failure has occurred while in operation, the door will unlock after 5 minutes. Clicking sounds can be heard when the door is locked/unlocked. 5

7 2-5. THE DOOR CAN T BE OPENED While program is operating When a power failedandpower plug is taken out in operation While Door Lock lights turn on. White the motor is in the process of intertial rotating, through the operation is paused DOOR LOCKED LAMP LIGHTS When the frequency of water level is lower than 22.9 khz (It can be canceledwhen the frequency is more than 23.8 khz) When the temperature inside the tub is higher than 45 C andwater level is not 25.5 khz (It can be canceledwhen the water level is 25.5 khz or the temperature inside the tub is lower than 40 C) 2-7. CHILD LOCK Use this option to prevent unwanteduse of the washer. Press andholdoption button for 3 seconds to lock/unlock control. When Childlock is set, blinks andall buttons are disabledexcept the Power button. You can lock the washer while it is operating. CHILD LOCK lasts after the endof cycle. If you want to deactivate this function,press andholdthe OPTION button for 3 seconds. 6

16 7. TROUBLESHOOTING 7-1. BEFORE PERFORMING SERVICE Be careful of electric shock when disconnecting parts while troubleshooting. The voltage of each terminal is 120 V AC and DC when the unit is plugged in QC TEST MODE. The washer must be empty and the controls must be in the off state. 1. Press the SPIN SPEED and SOIL LEVEL buttons simultaneously. 2. Press the Power button, while the above condition. Then buzzer will sound twice. 3. Press the Start/Pause buttonrepeatedly to cycle through the test modes. 4. Alternate blinking of, and Number of times the Start/Pause buttonis pressed None Check Point Turns on all lamps and locks the door. Display Status 1 time Tumble clockwise. rpm (40~50) 2 times 3 times Low speed Spin. High speed Spin. rpm rpm 4 times Inlet valve for prewash turns on. Water level frequency (25~65) 5 times Inlet valve for main wash turns on. Water level frequency (25~65) 6 times Inlet valve for hot water turns on. Water level frequency (25~65) 7 times Inlet valve for bleach turns on. Water level frequency (25~65) 8 times Tumble counterclockwise. rpm (40~50) 9 times Water temperature (Thermistor) Water temperature [ C] 10 times Drainpump turns on. Water level frequency (25~65) 11 times Power off and unlock the door. Turnoff all lamps HOW TO CHECK THE WATER LEVEL FREQUENCY Press the Delay and Signal button simultaneously. The digits indicate the water level frequency ( x.1 khz ). So, for example a display indicating 241: a Water level frequency of 241 x.1 khz = 24.1 khz 15

17 7-4. ERROR DISPLAY If you press the START/PAUSE button when an error is displayed, any error except will disappear and the machine will go into the pause status. In case of if the error is not resolved within 20 sec., or the in case of other errors, if the error is not resolved within 4 min., power will be turned off automatically and the error code will blink. But in the case of, power will not be turned off. ERROR SYMPTOM CAUSE 1 2 WATER INLET ERROR IMBALANCE ERROR Correct water level (246) is not reached within 8 minutes after water is supplied or it does not reach the preset water level within 25 minutes. The load is too small. The appliance is tilted. Laundry is gathered to one side. Non distributable things are put into the drum. 3 DRAIN ERROR Not fully drained within 10 minutes. 4 OVER FLOW ERROR Water is overflowing (water level frequency is over 213). If is displayed, the drain pump will operate to drain the water automatically. 5 6 PRESSURE SENSOR ERROR DOOR OPEN ERROR The SENSOR SWITCH ASSEMBLY is out of order. Door not all the way closed. Loose electrical connections at Door switch and PWB Assembly. The DOOR SWITCH ASSEMBLY is out of order. 7 THERMISTOR ERROR The THERMISTOR is out order. 16

24 If it still has severe vibration and noise, regulate a specific spin speed that generates excessive vibration and noise as follows: 1) Put an unbalance part (rubber) inside of the drum. 2) Start the QC test mode (Refer to section 7-2). 3) Press Delay Wash button, then ' ' is displayed. 4) Press the Spin Speed button repeatedly to select EXTRA HIGH. 5) Press the Start/Pause button. 6) Press the Signal button repeatedly to set spin speed (600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100 rpm) and check if there is vibration and noise. 7) If there is no vibration and noise, increase the spin speed by pressing Signal button. 8) If there is vibration and noise, press the Cycle selector button to reduce the Spin Speed (reduce by 50 and 100 rpm). In case of 600 rpm, it can not reduce the spin speed. 9) If vibration and noise are reduced, press the WASH/RINSE button to store (2 beep sounds). * If you want to return to factory default spin speed setting, repeat above steps except step 8). 23
