The motor that directs water to different spray zones is not working properly
Moderate
Address soon - your appliance may not work properly
Also displayed as: No display
What This Means
Synchronous motor (distributor motor) is out of order; Distributor motor connector disconnected; Micro switch terminal disconnected; Distributor mechanism jammed; Cam assembly out of position; Main PBA defect
What actually causes this:
The water distribution motor got stuck or a position sensor failed
First Thing to Check
Try running a full load cycle instead of half load — if only half load cycles show the problem, the distribution motor needs service
Parts Involved
How to Fix
- 1
1. Check the connections for the distributor motor and micro switch connectors — reconnect if loose
- 2
2. Check whether the coil in distributor motor is conductive (remove connectors before measuring) — Normal: approx. 3.6 to 4.0 k-ohms
- 3
3. Check the position sensing operations when turning the micro switch on and off using n5 service test mode — check conduction between brown wire and violet wire — Micro switch ON: Short, Micro switch OFF: Open
- 4
4. Micro switch sign should alternate ON/OFF — it is NG if it keeps in ON or OFF state for 120 seconds (do not supply with water during test)
- 5
5. Adjust Cam Assembly and find the faulty part — replace if faulty
- 6
6. Check whether half load is operating normally — check operating voltage between pin 3 (Brown) wire of CN401 and pin 1 (Red) wire of CN101 — Normal: 110-120V while operating
- 7
7. Check the Power Relay
