5.4.2.1 "Door open" conditions

The main PCB, before sending the door aperture signals, checks for the following conditions:
•
The drum must be stationary (no signal from the tachymetric generator)
•
The water level must not be higher than the lower edge of the door
•
The temperature of the water must not be higher than 40º C.

5.4.2.2 Automatic release device

In the event of a power failure, or if the appliance is switched off using the ON/OFF switch, or if there is a
fault in the solenoid valve, the bi-metal PTC cools within a period of between 55 seconds and about 4
minutes (at a temperature of 65°C), thus releasing the door.

5.4.2.3 Protective cut-out for solenoid valve

A PTC, connected in series to the solenoid valve, serves as a current limiter (i.e. overheating cut-out) in the
following cases:
→ If the triac on the main PCB is short-circuited
→ If the START/PAUSE button is pressed repeatedly (more than 10 times)
