Before you access internal components, take the plug out of the socket to disconnect the power supply.
EWX PLATFORMS EWX11831 platforms is a new electronic control for middle and high range washing machines and wash/dryer with Inverter motor. EWX13611 platform is a new electronic control for low range washing machines and wash/dryer with Universal motor. EWX14931 platform is a new electronic control for high range washing machines and wash/dryer with Inverter motor. EWX11 EWX13 EWX14...
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE The machine can work in several functional modes: - User mode - Demo mode - Electric test mode - Special function mode - Diagnostic mode - Remote controlled mode The last one can be set only by serial port using specific tools. All the other modes are available using the machine itself. User mode is the normal way to use the machine to execute normal cycles (used by the end customer).

OPTISENSE (PROSENSE) PHASE During the first minutes of the cycle, the machine estimates the quantity of loaded laundry to better adapt the cycle profile and duration to effective load. This phase is called “Optisense”. Depending to machine configuration (motor type) there are two types of Optisense, below described. Optisense 1.0 (universal motor): the traditional way to estimate laundry load by monitoring the water fillings trend during the first 10-15 minutes of a washing program.

LAUNDRY WEIGHT INFO Washing machines equipped with weight sensor (and instant door lock device with micro-switch that is necessary to sense the opening of door porthole) show info concerning the amount of laundry inside the drum and the suggested detergent dosage. The sensor works only when the machine is switched on in programme setup phase and the door porthole is opened.
WATER SOFTENER The Water Softener feature is used to improve the washing performance by using softened water during the washing phase of the cycle. By pressing the “Water Softener” button combination the appliance enters a specific setting mode through which the user can: configure the water hardness value;...

OPTISENSE On the appliances without weight sensor, when a Time Manager program is run and the user didn’t change the default Time Manager level, during the first minutes of the cycle the machine estimates the quantity of laundry in the drum to adapt the cycle profile and duration to the effective load through an algorithm called “Optisense”.
Page 27
LAUNDRY WEIGHT INFO Washing machines not equipped with a weight sensor show the recommended load for the current program while the user is setting it up, regardless of the status of the door. As soon as the cycle is started, this field turns off; the recommended load might be shown again if the Optisense algorithm detects an overload.

DEMO MODE In the shops and exhibitions sometime it could be necessary to show to the customer the machine behaviour in set-up condition and also during cycle execution. The duration of a cycle execution is in any case too long for a brief show. The Demo works in two ways: one interactive mode and one automatic loop.
DIAGNOSTIC MODE This mode is used in several conditions: - In factory assembly line to perform a manual test of the machine functionality (final assembly test). - By service people to check for faults and repair the machine. - In the labs to check the right machine functionality. ENTERING DIAGNOSTIC MODE As described before, to enter in this mode the procedure is the following: ...
WARNINGS In normal functioning mode, to final user are shown only those warnings that he is able to manage without the attendance of after sales service personnel. These warnings are not considered permanent machine faults, but There are also other alarms that stop machine and cannot be normally temporary faults due to carelessness of the...

DIGITS DISPLAY Warnings are displayed on the 7-segments digits display used to show the cycle time. A specific code appears on digits while the buzzer sounds (also if deactivated by customer via buttons combination) with a specific sequence of 3 short beeps about every 20 seconds for maximum 5 minutes.
