1 PURPOSE OF THIS SERVICE MANUAL The purpose of this Service Manual is to provide Service Engineers, who already have the basic knowledge necessary to repair household washing machines, with information of a general nature regarding the ARCHED range of washing machines. More detailed information regarding specific models: ѓ Circuit diagrams ѓ Exploded views of spare parts ѓ Spare parts lists ѓ Functions and diagnostics may be found in the Service Notes and Service Manuals (issued separately) for each specific model or functionality. ѓ Repairs to electrical appliances must be effected only by qualified personnel.
ѓ Before accessing the components inside the appliance, always remove the plug from the power socket. ѓ Where possible, ohmic measurements should be effected rather than direct measurement of voltage and current. ѓ Certain metal components inside the appliance may have sharp edges. Care should be taken to avoid cuts or abrasions. ѓ Before laying the appliance on the floor, always drain any water by means of the system placed beside the drain filter. ѓ Never lay the appliance on its right side (i.e. electronic control unit side); this would cause the water in the detergent dispenser to fall onto electrical components, thus damaging them.
ѓ After repairing the appliance, always perform the final test. 2 IMPORTANT NOTES SOI/DT 2006-03 dmm 6/70 599 37 67-82
