Solution
Check the data communication cable between the
washer computer and the variable frequency drive
(VFD).
Step 1: Make sure the cable did not become
unplugged during operation.
Step 2: Make sure that the cable is not being pulled
sideways at either the washer controller, or the VFD,
plug end. If both ends of the communications cable
are plugged in the washer computer and VFD and
there is no tension on the communications cable
pulling it from side to side, then replace the cable.
Step 3: Inspect both female connection points at PCB
controller and at VFD. These may need replacement if
they cannot be reset.
COMM
ERROR5
VFD
Communication
Fault
Condition
This error is a data error on communications between
the controller and the VF drive
Delay Delay time is 12 seconds.
Action
Stop the machine and clear the cycle. Keep the door
locked until the machine has stopped moving and then
unlock the door.
Solution
The CE errors are communications errors. Data Cable
noise can cause the majority of these errors. Check
VFD fault light before turning off power. Check the
data cable between the controller and the drive.
Replace data cable if it appears damaged and fault
appears again. Please note that this fault will occur if
you turned main power off and on too quickly. (See
Note below)
SLOW
DRAIN
ERROR
Drain Error Condition
This error is when an empty water level is not reach
within 7 minutes.
Delay Immediate
Action
The washer cycle will continue. Do not spin the
tumbler without reaching an empty water level. If
empty water level is not reached, agitate during the
normal spin time.
Solution
Check VFD fault light before turning off power. Check
to ensure the drain valve is operating properly (slow
drain has potential to cause this code). Check to
ensure the pressure switch tube is clear of any
blockage, and the pressure switch is operating
properly. Check the pressure switch harness.
