The cycle you select determines the tumble pattern and spin speed
for the cycle.
To minimize wrinkling of laundry, select the Perm Press cycle.
NORMAL - For most fabrics including cottons, linens, and normally soiled garments.
HEAVY DUTY - For sturdy, colorfast fabrics and heavily soiled garments.
Use heavy-duty course for bedding, select above the large as you want.

Child Lock

Child Lock prevents children from playing with your washer.

Activating the Child Lock function

Press and hold the Temp. and Load Size buttons simultaneously for
approximately 3 seconds.

• When you activate the Child Lock function, the “Child Lock” lamp blinks.

28
4.Instruction of Function
4-3. Automatic Dispenser
Your washer has separate compartments for dispensing detergent and color-safe bleach and
fabric softener. Add all laundry additives to their respective compartments before starting your
Washer.The automatic dispenser MUST ALWAYS be in place before you start your washer.

DO NOT open the automatic dispenser when your washer is running.


To use:
• Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding detergent.
• This compartment holds liquid detergent for the main wash cycle, which is added to the load at the beginning of the cycle.
• When using powdered detergent, remove the liquid detergent compartment from the
detergent drawer. The washer will not dispense powdered detergent from the liquid
detergent compartment.

29
4.Instruction of Function
4-4. ATC (AUTO TEMPERATURE CONTROL)

ATC (Auto Temperature Control)

ATC is the control function that the washer controls water temperature with temperature sensor (thermistor).
Because there are numerous water temperatures depending on the customer’s environments (cold
areas, warm areas, various water temperatures, settings of heater temperature, etc.), ATC function in
our washer maintains the certain level of wash temperature to output the best washing performance at
each cycle.
If you select normal cycle, this cycle is the regulation and UL cycle. Since new washers must reduce
the amount of energy usage as a first priority, customers will notice more cold water entering the
washer. But, this is normal, not a problem.
In this regulation cycle, Hot temperature is similar to acceptable adult bath-water temperature and
warm temperature is similar to comfortable swimming-pool water temperature.
If customers want to wash clothes in specific water temperatures, customers should choose a different
cycle at each temperature (Hot/Warm).

Problem What To Do

• Plug the unit into the wall outlet. Check for proper voltage.
• Check fuse or reset circuit breaker.
• Push any key to turn on the washer and press the Start/Pause key to run the washer.
• Close door and push the Start/Pause key to run the washer.
• Check if washer is in a pause, soak or suds process. Wait briefly and it may start. (If the washer is in
suds
period, Suds will light up instead of remaining time.)
Will Not Start
• Check for restricted drain system. (If there is electrical problem in drain system, “Small LED” will flash
after 30minutes.)
• Check Water Supply.
• Check the line or water valve screen filter.
• Check if PCB connectors are assembled properly.
• Check if CN2 terminals on PCB are in good condition. (Refer to PCB Connector Check.)
• Replace PCB.
• Make sure inlet hose connections are not leaking. Check for rubber gasket damage due to over
tightening.
• Check standpipe for leak. Wrap a dry rag around the standpipe opening.
If rag becomes wet, leak is fault of home plumbing.
Leaking Be sure the standpipe is capable of accepting the flow of water from the washer.
• Make sure end of drain hose is correctly inserted and secured to drain standpipe.
• Check internal hose connections (fill, drain systems, dispenser hoses & clamps).
• Check rubber boot. Remove, reposition and reinstall, if necessary.
• Check for possible kinked dispenser to outer tub hose. Hot water pressurization may force door open.

Problem What To Do

• Make sure to close the door completely.


• Check for water left inside the washer. If so, go to “Will Not Drain”.
• Perform Quick Test Mode or Quick Spin Test. Does the washer spin? (Before the test, empty the unit
inside.)
• If it doesn’t tumble after the above, change PCB. When the problem persists, change the motor.
Will Not Spin
• Perform Quick Test Mode or Quick Spin Test. Does the washer spin? If it does, Check Possible
unbalanced load scenario in normal mode.
• Check for loose connections at PCB, Water Level Sensor, Motor. (CN10,CN1) (Refer to the
Component Testing Procedure.)
• Check motor windings resistance.

• Perform Quick Test Mode. Check all of Water Valves visually.


(Cold Water Valve, Bleach Water Valve, Softener dispenses using Cold & Bleach Water Valve, and Hot
Water Valve.)
• Check if water taps are turned on fully.
• Check Water Valves and Water Level Sensor (Refer to PCB Connector Check)
No Water Fill • Check if there is any kink in inlet hoses.
• Check if inlet screens are clogged up.
• Check if water has enough pressure. If so, find out its contributors.
• Check if there is any frozen area in the unit (Drain Hose, etc)
• Measure the resistance of Water Valve Coil.
• Check Pressure S/W and PCB for loose connections. (Refer to PCB Connector Check.)

Problem What To Do

• Go to “Will Not Drain” and “Will Not Spin” and check the draining.
• Check PCB and Drain Pump for any loose wire connection.
• Perform Quick Test Mode or Board Output Test to drain.
• Use HE (High-Efficiency) or low sudsing detergent specially formulated for front load washers.
Tub Full of Suds
• Reduce the amount of detergent for that specific load size and soil level. Keep in mind that towel
creates more suds generally.
• Reduce the amount of detergent when water is soft, or laundry is small or lightly soiled.
• Do one more washing cycle with cold water and a table spoon of salt without detergent.

• Unbalance due to not enough load. Put additional load.


• Due to excessive suds by using general detergent. Use HE (High-Efficiency) or reduce its quantity.
Wet Clothes
• Low Spin Speed or Drain Only was selected.
• Go to “ Will Not Spin”.

• Perform Quick Test Mode. Check Door Lock.


Check the resistance for door lock. if Approx 0.2 ohm between the terminal of contact (white-Red wire),

• Check for any kink on the drain hose. If any, straight it out.
• Check for any restriction in the drain hose.
• Close the door and press the Start/Pause Button. For safety reasons, the washer does not tumble or
spin with the door open.
• When it is freezing outside, check if it is frozen inside the drain hose.
• Check if the water level signal input is correct. Go to Board Input Test Mode.
Will Not Drain
• Go to Quick Test Mode and do Drain Pump Test.
• Check if there is any twist in the hose (the one between Tub and Drain Pump).
• Check if it reads AC 120V at the pump when a spin cycle is selected.
• Read the winding resistance of the pump motor. (15±10% Ohms)
• Check the pump at Pin #3 of CN6 and pin #7 of CN4 on PCB. It should read AC 110~120V. (Refer to
PCB Connector Check)
