WHIRLPOOL
Calypso Washing Machine
Failure - Code Condition
- Check/Repair
PF Power Failure
PF flashes if the washer loses power
during a running cycle. The washer does not flash PF when it is first plugged
in.
Press START to continue the cycle
from the moment that power was lost -OR- Press
STOP/CANCEL to clear the display and completely cancel the cycle.
FL Flood Condition
FL flashes if any overfill condition
occurs. This condition occurs when excessive water in the tub causes the
overfill switch to trip. The control must realize that the trip was due to an
overfill condition instead of a suds lack condition in order for FL to be
displayed
With an overfill condition, the beeper
repeats a warning every 10 seconds with no time-out. The pump is cycled in drain
mode for 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off until the overfill switch resets or power
is discontinued to the unit.
Er Processor Reset Error
This error code is displayed if the
control failed to save cycle information during a power failure. This does not
generate an error code beep.
LF Long Fill
If the water fill time exceeds ten
minutes, the water valves are turned off and LF is flashed.
CE Communications Error
If there is any breakdown in communication
between the machine controller and the motor controller, CE flashes and the unit
beeps once.
Some common causes of CE errors include:
· Conformal coating on serial
communications pins between the machine controller and motor controller. After
disconnecting power to the unit, try scraping this coating off the pins.
· Check the resistance values between the
serial communications pins with the connectors in place. Make sure the harness
does not have a bad connection.
· Check the quick disconnect at the motor
terminal. The drive motor must be hooked up properly or a CE error will occur.
· Drive motor thermal protector has
opened.
·Motor controller is not powered or fuse
has opened. Replace motor controller.
Ld Long Drain
Ld flashes if it takes longer than 5
minutes to pump out water to a point where the operating pressure switch resets.
CA Cl Average current limit Or
Instantaneous current limit If
a status signal comes back from the motor controller that a current limit has
been breached, the unit will return to standby mode and display either CA for
average current limit trip or Cl for instantaneous current limit trip.
Average current trip occurs if there is a 2
second average of current draw greater than 5.55 amps at the motor windings.
Instantaneous current trip occurs if there
is a spike of 26 amps instantly at the motor windings.
This may signify problems with the drive
motor, thermal protector, or motor controller. Over-loading the unit may cause
this problem.
ob Off Balance
If the motor controller detects an
unrecoverable off-balance condition, the machine controller will shut down and
display an ob for Off Balance
The lid switch must be opened at least once
before restarting the cycle, if this condition occurs. Opening the lid will
allow the customer to view and redistribute the load.
Sr Stuck Relay
Sr signifies a failure of the relay in the
closed position. With this failure, power to the motor controller cannot be
turned off by the machine controller.
The machine control board may have a bad
relay and may need to be replaced. Check pins 1 and 5 of P16 of the machine
controller and pins 1 and 2 of P1 of the motor controller. This should have AC
line voltage when the motor controller is powered.
LS Lid Switch Error
The control should flash this error code
if it cannot detect the lid switch opening and closing properly. This error code
may also be used if there is a disagreement between the motor and machine
controllers on the stat if the lid switch. The control should not allow the unit
to run in this condition.
This code will also appear if the user
presses the START key while the lid is open.
Open the lid or press STOP/CANCEL to clear
the display.

- Check/Repair
PF Power Failure
If the household power goes off and the
control board was in RUN mode or PAUSE mode, the electronic control board will
display a power failure error code.
E1 or E2 Thermistor Failure
The dryer will not operate if the exhaust
temperature drops below 18 degrees F. or exceeds 250 degrees F.
When the thermistor circuit is open
(>50K ohms), the error code E1 flashes in the display.
When the thermistor circuit is shorted
(<500 ohms), the error code E2 flashes in the display.
Normal thermistor resistance values:
60 degrees F. - 15.3K ohms.
70 degrees F. - 11.9K ohms.
80 degrees F. - 9.2K ohms.
E3 Touchpad or Software mismatch
Flashes when there is a touch pad or
software mismatch. NOTE: This error code is displayed only in diagnostics mode.
