Guide to diagnostics of EWM09312 electronic controls 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose of this manual The purpose of this manual is to explain, simply and schematically, the steps any Technician should take when faced with the problems indicated by the various alarm codes on appliances with electronic control in the EWM09312 series.
Guide to diagnostics of EWM09312 electronic controls 1.2 Cautions Any work on electrical appliances must only be carried out by qualified personnel. Before servicing an appliance, check the efficiency of the electrical system in the home using appropriate instruments. For example: refer to the indications provided/illustrated in the <<metratester>>...
Guide to diagnostics of EWM09312 electronic controls 1.3 How to proceed 1. Identify the type of control in question (page 8) and access the diagnostic cycle. (See page 8) 2. Read the alarm stored (page 12) and consult the instructions regarding the “alarm codes”, page 15÷17.
