1 Purpose of this manual The purpose of this manual is to provide service engineers who are already familiar with the repair procedures for traditional washing machines with information regarding appliances fitted with the EWM 1000 plus electronic control system and produced in Porcia (Italy). The electronic control system plus EWM1000 plus consists of a main electronic board and one control/display board, “Full SMD”...
4 CONTROL PANEL The configuration of the control panel depends on the following: Type of control/display board (with or without display) Design of the control panel and position of the programme selector (right or left of the buttons) Number and configuration of the buttons (max. 8) ON/OFF switch: incorporated in the programme selector or with separated button Version with left selector and incorporated ON/OFF button Version with left selector and button ON/OFF switch...

Options of the washing cycle The selection of the options is to be carried out after switching on the appliance and setting the desired programme with the selector and before pressing the start/pause button. When the button is pressed, the corresponding LED lights; by pressing it again the LED switches off. Possible options according the selected programme OPTIONS 90°C...
5.2 Description of options 5.2.1 Night cycle Eliminates all spin phases and adds three rinses in COTTON cycles and two rinses in SYNTHETICS cycles. Stops the appliance with water in the tub before the final rinse. Switches off the buzzer (if configured) To drain the water select a drain or spin cycle.
5.2.9 Sensitive Adds a rinse in the COTTON – SYNTHETIC FABRICS. During the cotton cycles the movements pass from vigorous to normal. Eliminates the intermediate spins except from the last two which are reduced. 5.2.10 Extra rinse Adds two rinses in the COTTON, SYNTHETICS and DELICATES cycles. Eliminates the intermediate spin cycles, with the exception of the last rinse, which is reduced to 450 rpm.
5.2.17 Time reduction (Quick) Modifies the structure of the COTTON - SYNTHETICS– DELICATES programmes to obtain washing time very short (optimization for small or lightly-soiled loads). Reduces the no. of rinses (one rinse less). Increases the water level of the other two rinses. Corresponds to the SHORT- VERY SHORT cycles on the basis of the configuration of the appliance.
5.4 Display (some models) The display shows the following information: three flashing digits, when the appliance is switched on. the duration of the washing programme, which appears after selecting it. This time corresponds to that necessary for the maximum load for every type of programme. After starting the programme, the time diminishes (and updates) by every minute.

6.8 Control of water level in tub The water fill is carried out in two phases: • level fill: is controlled by the closure of 1 level pressure switch in full position • time fill: the duration is calculated by the electronic to fill the set quantity. The different levels are determined by the model configuration and depend on the type of tub used.
7 TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS 7.1 EWM1000 Plus Electronic control The EWM1000 Plus electronic control consists of a main PCB (1) and a control/display board (2). 7.1.1 Functions of the circuit board PROGRAMM DISPLAY BOARD µP Buzzer SELECTOR LEDs Buttons Display ELECTRICAL µP SENSORS LOADS...
7.2 Power supply and programme selection The main board (3) is powered by the interference suppressor (1) and by the closure of the contacts of the main switch (2). The affected connectors are J6-2 (neutral) and J10-1 (line). The control/display board (4) is powered at 5V by the main board: through the programme selector (5) it is possible to select the programme.

7.4 Control pressure switch for water level in the tub Control of the water level is performed by a two or three-level pressure switch which functions as follows: • contact 11-14: anti-boiling safety level • contact 21-24: first level • contact 31-32: anti-overflow safety level (not all models) 7.4.1 Pressure switch settings...
7.6 Water fill system The solenoid valves are powered by the PCB via two or three triacs. The status of the pressure switch (empty/full) is detected by two “sensing” lines”. Anti-boiling level 1st level Pre-wash solenoid 5. Wash solenoid 6. Bleach solenoid (some models) 7.
7.7 Drain pump 1. PCB 2. Anti-boiling pressure switch 8. Drain pump AB_S Anti-boiling level sensor The PCB powers the drain pump via a triac as follows: for a pre-determined period. until the anti-boiling pressure switch closes on EMPTY, after which the pump is actioned for a brief period or passes to the subsequent phase.
Water Control The Water Control system is a sensor located in contact with the base frame. The sensor detects water leaks inside the machine (not only during normal operation, but also when the unit is off and plugged in) and starts the drain pump if a leak occurs.
7.10 Heating Anti-boiling pressure switch 1st level pressure switch Heating element NTC temperature sensor Relay AB_S Anti-boiling level sensor L1_S 1st level sensor The heating element is powered by a relay on the PCB via the contacts of the pressure switch when closed on FULL.
7.11 Motor 1. PCB 2. Motor 3. Anti-boiling/anti-foam pressure switch M = rotor P = motor safety cut-out S = stator T = tachometric generator AB_S Anti-boiling/anti- foam level sensor 7.12 Power supply to motor The PCB powers the motor via a triac. The direction of rotation is reversed by switching of the contacts on the two relays (K2-K3), which modify the connection between the rotor and the stator.
7.14 “FUCS” (Fast Unbalance Control System) The control procedure for unbalanced loads is performed dynamically, before each spin cycle, as follows: The phase begins at a speed of 55 rpm; the speed can never fall below this threshold, otherwise the check is repeated.

8 DEMO Mode A special cycle has been created for demonstration of the operation of these appliances in retail outlets without connecting the appliance to the water supply. In this way, the salesman can select any programme; after starting the cycle by pressing START, the appliance will perform certain phases only, and will skip those which cannot be performed (water fill, drain, heating).
9 DIAGNOSTICS SYSTEM 9.1 Access to diagnostics system Using a single procedure, it is possible to access to the diagnostics system. After accessing this function, the following operations can be performed: control of the operation of each of the components in the appliance read / cancel the alarms The diagnostics cycles are available only if the communication between the main PCB and the display board is correct;...

Normally all the alarms are displayed to the user except for: E61 (insufficient heating during the washing phase), E83 (error in the reading of the selector) The alarms are active during the execution of the washing programme;...
10.2 Reading the alarm codes In order to read the last alarm code memorized in the EEPROM on the PCB: • Enter diagnostics mode • Irrespective of the type of PCB and configuration, turn the programme selector clockwise to the tenth position. 10.2.1 Displaying the alarm The alarm is displayed by a repeated flashing sequence of the two LEDs (0.4 seconds lit, 0.4 seconds off, with an interval of 2.5 seconds between...
10.2.3 Operation of alarms during diagnostics All alarms are enabled during the components diagnostics phase. Moving the selector to pass from one control phase to the other, the appliance exits the alarm condition and performs the selected phase (if the alarm does not occur again).
