Error Recovery Routine

When the computer detects an error, it will stop
running the current step and display a message to
indicate what type of error was found:
"FILL" indicates that the washer-extractor did
G
not fill within the allotted time.
"EMTY" indicates that the washer-extractor did
G
not drain in the allotted time.
"TEMP" indicates that the temperature sensor
G
has recognized an over-temperature-limit
condition.
"ME" indicates that the computer has detected a
G
problem with the cycle information. The cycle
must be edited.
"WATER" indicates that the WE-6 computer
G
senses low, medium, or high water level at the
end of the Stop routine.
NOTE: If low, medium or high water levels are
sensed after a power failure, the computer will not
energize the door unlock output but will permit the
user to select and start a cycle to drain the machine.
All outputs remain off while the message
displays, and the door cannot be unlocked.
NOTE: The WE-6 computer will not allow the door
to be opened while there is water in the washer-
extractor.
Each of these errors is considered to be recoverable.
The operator has two minutes to respond to the error
condition (except in the case of "WATER"). During
this time, the computer will turn the signal (buzzer)
relay on and off at the rate of one second on and one
second off to alert the operator to the error condition.
The washer-extractor may be restarted by pressing the
Enter key. Pressing the Enter key will restart the cycle
step for the originally programmed time period. The
cycle may be aborted by pressing the Clear key. After
aborting the cycle, the computer will go to the normal
stop routine. If the operator does not respond to the
error condition within the allocated two minutes, the
computer will automatically abort the cycle.
NOTE: The "TEMP" alarm can be recovered only
after the temperature falls below the alarm level.

Certain error conditions are considered to be non-
recoverable:
If the door opens during a cycle, the computer
G
will display "DOOR". The operator must close
the door.
Then, after the computer has detected that the
door is closed, it will automatically abort the
cycle and go to the normal Stop routine.
"OVERHT" will be displayed when the computer
G
detects an open or shorted temperature input
circuit or temperatures are outside of the washer-
extractor's allowable limits. Contact a service
technician.

Motor Thermal Overload Indicator

NOTE: Does not apply to models made after
December 1999.
To protect the motor from damage due to excessive
temperature, a thermostat is embedded in the motor.

135-Pound Capacity Models

If the thermostat becomes too hot, a red indicator lamp
inside the WE-6 control module will light; and power
will be removed from the drive. The machine will
resume normal operation only when the motor has
cooled sufficiently.
250-Pound Capacity Models
If the thermostat becomes too hot, the inverter drive
will shut down. When this occurs, the red Drive Fault
indicator inside the WE-6 control module will
illuminate. When the motor has cooled sufficiently, the
washer-extractor can be reset by removing power for
five minutes. (A service technician can positively
identify the problem by looking for Auxiliary Fault
"F02" in the drive's fault memory.)
Before attempting to restart the washer-extractor,
determine the reason for the overload. The following is
a partial list of possible problems:
Bad motor bearings
G
Motor cooling fan blocked or not operating
G
Excessively dirty motor (lint build-up, for G
example)
Room temperature higher than 120°F (50°C)
G
