1 GE CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION - NOT FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE

2 GE CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION - NOT FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE Profile Warranty * * NOTE : Includes Mode Shifter.

3 GE CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION - NOT FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE ATC ATC Thermistor Fill Funnel Tap Cold = temperature from cold tap Cold = 62 o F Cool = 70 o F Colors = 80 o F Warm = 95 o F Hot = 125 o F The min fill is 9 gals. & the max is 22 gals. The Thermistor is located in the outlet of the Fill Funnel & will measure 50KΩ at room temp. The ATC is disabled while the lid is up. The control will de-energize the Water Valve after 45 minutes if the Pressure Switch has not been tripped.

5 GE CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION - NOT FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE Mode Shifter Operation - Agitate The control energizes the Mode Shifter for the duration of the agitate cycle. To ensure agitate of the Mode Shifter to the basket, the control energizes the Mode Shifter & rotates the basket for a short sequence called the Mode Shifter Agitate Program (approx. 18 sec.). The Inverter initially outputs (PWM) 135VDC to the Mode Shifter. After agitate, the Inverter outputs (PWM) a hold-in voltage of 30VDC. There is a normal “clunk” sound at the start of agitation. During agitation, there is a normal “swooshing” or “zipping” sound. The Mode Shifter will de-energize when washer is paused during agitation. If the washer was agitating & the power is disrupted, the control will stop the motor & run the Mode Shifter Agitate Program when power is restored.

6 GE CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION - NOT FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE Mode Shifter Operation - Spin To spin, the control de-energizes the Mode Shifter (approx. 15 sec.). One second after the end of the agitate cycle, the motor will agitate (short, fast strokes) again for 10 sec. to redistribute any unbalance in the basket. The control will then de-energize the Mode Shifter & rotate the agitator shaft in a short sequence called – Mode Shifter Spin Program (approx. 30 sec.). If the washer was spinning & power is disrupted, the control will re-initiate spin after running the Mode Shifter Spin Program when power is restored. NOTE : It is NORMAL for the washer to continue making sounds for approx. 15 seconds after the washer has paused or turned off; as the Mode Shifter unlocks the basket.

7 GE CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION - NOT FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE Fuse Assembly Fuse Assembly Fuse is on N side of line.

8 GE CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION - NOT FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE Harness Fuse Kit UL requirement If inverter fails (brake resistor) If motor exceeds 10A

9 GE CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION - NOT FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE Inverter/Motor Testing Voltage readings: C2 Pin 1 = Gnd C2 Pin 3 = N C2 Pin 5 = L1 C2 Pin 6 = L1 (Lid Switch) C7 Pin 1 to Pin 2 = 135VDC C7 Pin 1 to Pin 2 = 30VDC C4 Pin 5 to Pin 1 = 9VDC* C4 Pin 5 to Pin 2 = 9VDC* C4 Pin 5 to Pin 3 = 9VDC* C4 Pin 5 to Pin 4 = 9VDC* If you can get washer to go to high spin in Field Service Mode - the board, inverter, & motor are OK. *NOTE : Place washer in Field Service Mode & test for high speed spin.

10 GE CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION - NOT FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE Motor Inverter Signal LED Errors Motor/Control error condition – LED is on for .25 seconds & off for .25 seconds during a 6 second period: Excessive Brake Time – 1 flash indicates basket has not stopped in a specified time. Broken Coupling/Slipping Belt – 2 flashes indicates the main control senses one instance where shaft speed exceeds 1000rpm, 2 seconds after the shaft was brought to a stop (this will cause washer not to agitate or spin). Inverter ROM – 3 flashes indicates the ROM software is defective. Mode Shifter – 4 flashes indicates the Mode Shifter circuit has failed (motor will continue to operate as normal). Locked Rotor – 6 flashes indicates the motor is in a locked rotor condition. The motor attempts to start & if it fails, it will sit idle for 15 seconds, then retry (3 times) & if it fails to start will set the Error. Lid Error – 7 flashes indicates main control has detected a failed lid switch. Motor Over Temp – 8 flashes indicates the motor is overheated (motor will move in shorter strokes & have lower spin speeds). Brake Error – 9 flashes indicates the brake resistor circuit has failed (the Inverter will limit max spin speed to 50rpm). To clear errors, the lid switch is opened & closed 5 or more times in any 12 seconds within the first 30 seconds of power-up (this will not occur if washer is in either agitate or spin). Critical Errors are #1, #2, & #7 – they will prevent Motor/Inverter from operating.
