Programming a Wash 5 Thermal
Cool-down
After programming a heat step, it may be
desirable to program a temperature-controlled
thermal cool-down to gradually reduce the
temperature of the load and prevent fiber shock
from sudden cool-down.
The temperature-controlled cool-down
provides a gradual cooling down from a
higher temperature to a lower temperature.
The WE-6 monitors the temperature of the
water in the washer and attempts to maintain
an approximate cool-down rate of three
degrees per minute by periodically energizing
the cold water fill valve.
When the programmed time for the step
expires, the computer will advance to the
next step regardless of whether or not the
cool-down temperature has been reached. If
the cool-down temperature is reached before
the time expires, the computer will advance
to the next step.
During the cool-down, the drain will remain
closed and water will exit through the
overflow connection. The cylinder will rotate
in a normal reversing mode as during a
Wash 1 step.
Assuming that the computer is in the program
mode and that a heat step has been created and
entered, use the following procedure to
program the thermal cool-down. (Do not
program a drain step before the Wash 5 step.)
1. Press the Wash key and then key 5. The
display will read "W5nncc."
2. Press the Enter key. The display will
read either "080Fcc" or "025Ccc,"
depending on whether Centigrade or
Fahrenheit is prompted.

3. Enter the desired temperature for the load
to cool down to. Three digits must be
used for the temperature. If the desired
target temperature is less than 100 degrees,
the first digit must be "0." The valid
temperature range is 80–200 degrees
Fahrenheit and 25–93 degrees Centigrade.
The computer will not accept temperatures
out of this range. (The cool-down rate will
be affected by the temperature of the
cold water available.) If 100 degrees
Fahrenheit is selected, the display will
read "100Fcc."
4. When the desired cool-down temperature
is displayed, press the Enter key. The
display will show "H---M." Now enter the
maximum time in hours and minutes
for the computer to reach the target
cool-down temperature.
Experimentation may be necessary to
determine the exact time required with
each installation to enable the computer
to reach the target cool-down temperature.
Use the edit feature to revise the Wash 5
step during the experimentation process.
When the computer performs the Wash 5
step, the temperature in the sump must be
greater than the target cool-down
temperature. Otherwise, the computer
will advance past the Wash 5 step.
5. When the desired time is displayed, press
the Enter key and go to the next step in
the cycle.
