| 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. Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display. |
| 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. Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display. |
| CA or CI | 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 "CI" 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. Overloading the unit may cause this problem. Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display. |
| 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 you to view and redistribute the load. Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display. |
| Sr | 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 state of 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 |
| Flashing display time | Open lid | If the lid opens while the unit is in running mode, time remaining will flash in the display. Close the lid and press START to continue with the cycle. |
| SL | Suds lock | The motor controller senses a suds lock condition by analyzing the current draw on the drive motor. If a potential suds lock is detected, the control tries up to 3 times to clean out the unit with a mini-cycle. "SL" is displayed if suds are detected but the unit is unable to clean out suds. This may indicate a bad pump, an extra heavy load, excessive detergent or excessive suds. Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display. |
