Use diagnostic mode to test the control panel, switches, fill valves, agitation, and drain/spin functions on Speed Queen top-load washers that use the TC5003-style interface (TC5, TL3, TR3, and TR5). This mode can also help you react to flashing-light error conditions when the washer won’t start or stops mid-cycle.
ШагиSteps
1
Prepare the washer for diagnostics
- Unplug the washer, and wait 30 seconds.
- Plug the washer back in, and wait about 10 seconds for it to boot.
2
Enter diagnostic mode
- Rotate the cycle selector to 180° opposite of the normal Eco position.
- Press and hold the Start/Pause button.
- While holding Start/Pause, rotate the cycle selector 180° back to normal Eco within about five seconds.
- Keep holding Start/Pause for about two seconds until the panel lights flash on, off, and then on again.
- Release Start/Pause when you hear constant beeping and all the lights stay on.
- When diagnostics are active, filling should stop.
3
Run test 0 for LED operation
- Verify all LED lights are on to confirm the display lights work.
- If any LED isn’t lit during this test, that LED isn’t working.
- Press Start/Pause to advance to the next test.
4
Run test 1 for the cycle selector
- Turn the cycle selector through every cycle position at least once.
- Confirm the status lights change as you select different cycles.
- Press Start/Pause to advance to the next test.
5
Run test 2 for the temperature selector
- Rotate the temperature knob through the available wash temperature settings.
- Confirm the status lights change when you select different temperatures.
- Press Start/Pause to advance to the next test.
6
Run test 3 for the option or load selector
- Rotate the option or load-size dial left and right through all positions.
- Confirm the status lights change for each option.
- Press Start/Pause to advance to the next test.
7
Run test 4 for the extra rinse or deep fill button
- Press the Extra Rinse or Extra Fill button to toggle the indicator light on and off.
- Confirm the indicator light changes state each time you press the button.
- Press Start/Pause to advance to the next test.
8
Run test 5 for the lid switch and test 6 for hot fill
- Open and close the lid once to confirm the lid switch changes the status lights.
- Wait a moment for the lights to update as the lid switch cycles.
- Close the lid, and press Start/Pause to advance.
- Keep the lid closed to run the hot fill valve test.
- Open the lid to stop filling.
- Press Start/Pause to advance to the next test.
9
Run test 7 and test 8 for fill level and pressure sensing
- Allow the washer to fill with hot and cold water until it reaches the target level for the pressure sensor check.
- Wait for the washer to shut the valves off after it reaches the proper fill state.
- Press Start/Pause to advance after the fill target is reached.
10
Run lid lock and agitation tests when present
- Run the lid lock test on models with a lid lock by confirming the lid locks and then unlocks.
- Press Start/Pause to advance after the lock and unlock sequence completes.
- Run the long-stroke agitation test on models that include it by closing the lid and listening for agitation.
- Open the lid to stop agitation, and close it to allow the test to run again.
- Run the delicate short-stroke agitation test when present, which operates like the long-stroke test but sounds different.
- Press Start/Pause to advance past the agitation tests.
11
Run the drain and spin test
- Allow the washer to drain and spin during the drain and spin test.
- Press Start/Pause to stop the test and advance when you’re ready.
12
Run unbalance and breakaway tests when present
- Advance to the unbalance-related test on models that include it, which may require the lid to be locked.
- Trigger the unbalanced load switch if the washer requires it to advance.
- Find the unbalanced load switch inside the front panel on the right side between the tub and the trunnion system.
- Press Start/Pause to advance to the breakaway test.
- Observe the breakaway test, which slows the unit down, stops it, and unlocks the lid on models with a lid lock.
- Press Start/Pause to advance after the washer stops.
13
Exit diagnostics and restore normal operation
- Wait for the washer to fully drain and stop, then watch for all lights to turn off as the unit powers down.
- Confirm the controls are unresponsive in the powered-down state even though the panel may beep.
- Unplug the washer for 30 seconds, then plug it back in to reboot to the ready state.
14
Interpret flashing-light error conditions
- Look for flashing indicator lights when the washer refuses to start or stops during operation.
- Treat the flashing pattern as an error indication, and correct the underlying failure the code points to.
- Motor and user-interface related failures may present similarly across models.
- Drive-related errors apply to models with a separate drive board, which is typical of TL and TR series washers.
Exit diagnostics and restore the washer to the ready state before returning it to service. Repair didn't go as planned? Ask our Answers community for help.
