MOTOR-INVERTER DRIVE SYSTEM –
2 FLASH INVERTER BOARD ERROR (MOTOR APPEARS DEAD)
This service bulletin is to notify technicians of a
potential cause for a 2 flash error on the new
Motor-Inverter drive system.
The 2 flash error was intended to represent a slipping belt condition as identified in the mini-manual.
Based on field feedback, a loose hub nut may also
simulate the conditions that the inverter uses to
detect a slipping belt condition. Because a slipping
belt presents a safety concern for the machine to
brake/stop normally, the inverter disables the motor
while setting the 2 flash error code. The motor will
not agitate or spin in this condition, so the motor
appears DEAD.
A loose hub nut may be obvious in severe circumstances where the basket has damaged the
balance ring, the tub cover, or the tub. In some
instances, it is more difficult to detect if the hub nut
has not fully backed off. NOTE: The HYDROWAVE
drive does not have a mechanical brake like the
drive system with transmission. The basket may
rotate freely depending on the state of the mode
shifter assembly. It may require closer inspection
of the hub nut. If the threads of the nut are damaged, the nut will not hold the tub securely. Always
replace the hub nut if any damage is noticed.
Tighten the nut to 110 ft. lbs.

Procedure for repair:
1. Remove the agitator and agitator coupling
2. Inspect for damaged components (replace as
necessary)
3. Tighten the hub nut with a torque wrench or
impact gun (current factory torque setting is
110 FT-LBS)

Clearing Motor-Inverter error codes:

HydroWave Washer Customer Education

1. Disconnect the washer from power and wait
approximately 15 seconds (hear a click/capacitor
discharge)
2. Reconnect the washer to power and allow the relay
to click (approximately 2 seconds).
3. Open and close the lid 5 or more times (in any
12 second period within the first 30 seconds of
power up)

The new drive system design is also creating a high
number of Customer Education calls. The calls are
primarily in two areas: Washer Performance (not agitating) and Washer Noise. These CE calls are an excellent opportunity to contact the consumer and discuss
what operating characteristics and sounds are normal. Making the consumer aware of what is normal
may save the service call.
• The consumer doesn’t think the washer is agitating
because it’s too quiet. They don’t realize the motor
has to sense the load and engage the drive, which
takes 20-30 seconds after the tub has filled with
water. Have the consumer throw in an article of
clothing, let it run for a minute and then open the lid.
They should see the article has moved around if the
washer is agitating correctly.
• When the consumer hears the mode shifter engage
and disengage they hear a “clicking” sound and
assume it’s broken. This sound is normal and occurs
when the washer goes in and out of agitate and
spin. The consumer will hear this multiple times
throughout the wash cycle.
