CYCLE SEQUENCE DEFINITIONS NOTE: Refer to Section 2: Timer Input Charts for information on the timing of each cycle sequence. BLEACH DISPENSE In a Bleach Dispense increment, the machine control will follow the same tumble pattern and speed as in a Main Wash Tumble increment. D E L AY During a Delay increment, the door Lock Wax Motor Output, Door Locked Light Output (Series 17 and later only), Motor Torque Output, "On" light (Series 10 to 16 only), and Water Valve Outputs are de-energized. Note that the Delay indicator is energized through a cam on the timer. EXTRA RINSE When the user selects the Extra Rinse option, the spin increment following the third rinse will follow the Spin2 cycle sequence. The Timer Motor Output will be energized 60 seconds prior to the end of the spin cycle sequence and will remain energized to advance the timer through the "Off" increment into the Rinse Tumble increment. washers only) will de-energize and the Endof-Cycle Signal will sound if the user had selected the End-of-Cycle Signal option. LIGHT WASH TUMBLE, MAIN WASH TUMBLE, and RINSE TUMBLE The machine control will tumble the washer at the pattern and speed defined by the Fabric Selection Inputs (See Cycle Review). Each tumble will start only after the previous tumble has completely stopped. The machine control will reverse the tumble direction after each pause. The machine control will continue to tumble the washer until the timer inputs change. In a Light Wash Tumble or Main Wash Tumble increment, the machine control will de-energize the line relay if the washer continues to tumble for 29 minutes. This would only occur if the timer were to stall (See Section 1: Timer Motor Output and Section 2: Timer Input Chart). PREWASH DRAIN During a prewash drain increment, the washer will tumble at the same speed and in the same pattern as in the Prewash Tumble increment for the fabric selection. The Door Lock Wax Motor Output will be energized during this increment (See Prewash Tumble). If the Extra Rinse option is not selected, this spin will follow the Spin3 cycle sequence and the Timer Motor Output will be energized 30 seconds prior to the end of the final spin. PREWASH TUMBLE When the timer is set into a Prewash Tumble increment, the machine control will tumble at 51 rpm in the following tumble pattern: IDLE The Idle increment follows the final spin increment in each cycle. If the Door Lock Switch Input is energized when the timer advances into the Idle increment at the end of the cycle, the machine control will tumble the washer until 50 seconds after the Door Lock Switch input is no longer energized. This allows time for the Door Lock Wax Motor to fully retract. At this time, the Door Lock Light Output (washers between Series 10 and 16 only) or the "On" Light Output (Series 17 and later Cycle Tumble-Pause Pattern Cotton/Sturdy 6 sec. - 24 sec.
