Sample
Version 02 of the WF328 has the pump in front
Serial (S5) May 2009 and after have the new front mounted pump ass'y.
There may be other differences, like the hoses and DD Motor.
DC31-00054A pump is used on ALL of our washers.
If you have a DC96-01414A pump ass'y, you can take off the pump and
use it.
Sometimes the Version change is in the field before the parts
look-up is updated. If any doubt, call GPCA

Temperatures
Location considerations
Do not install your washer in areas where water
may freeze, since your washer will always
maintain some water in its water valve, pump, and
hose areas. This can cause damage the belts, the
pump, hoses and other components. Operating
temperature should be above 60F.

Extended Cycle Time
Sometimes No Spin
What 3 things cause extended time Spin
issue?
Out of Balance 45 min. or more, at Spin Cycle
Over Sudsing - 1 hour or more, at Spin Cycle
Poor Drain - up to 15 minutes for each drain
cycle
Any other thoughts?
Out of Balance
When the unbalance time exceeds 15 minutes during the
spin cycle, it executes the untying operation to balance
the load. It will tumble at 50 RPM and add water and
pump out twice, then generate an error (dc) the third
time. This will last about 30 minutes.
Temperatures under 60 may cause unit not to spin and
generate an error (dc)
See bulletin on early WF218 for software change on Main PCB
Installation issues Not leveled, Not locking the lock
nuts, Bending legs or frame when lifting, Shipping bolts
in place, Springs or struts broken or loose.
Installed on slippery floor without rubber foot pads.
Not properly locked on pedestal.
When installing a washer and dryer on
the first or second floor, leaving this
much of the leg bolt exposed is not
recommended.
Vibration/Balance Issues
Use on slippery floors for stability.
There is one in each package, so
order 4 of them
Washer foot damage
Floor Model sale. Washer slid
across warehouse concrete floor
Washer sliding/walking on
consumers concrete floor over time.
This will cause the washer to walk during spin cycles
and may cause a no spin condition.
No Description Image
1 Tighten the lock-nut up against the base frame.

Put a couple of articles of clothing inside and place
paper strips under each leg. And then, put the unit
into Spin Mode as follows.
1. Power ON press SIGNAL and EXTRA RINSE for 3
seconds
2. Press the Delay Start and Silver Care Keys for 3
seconds to enter Quick Spin Test Mode.
As its speed increases, try to pull out the paper
stripes.

Notice! If you find foot-print on the paper, or the
paper is slipped out, lower the regarding leg slightly
and tighten up its lock-nut against the bottom plate.
And, repeat the test until there is no slip-out or foot-
print.

Notice! Partial circle footprint on paper could
indicate a bent leg or frame.

Over Sudsing
ALWAYS USE HE Detergents
When using the proper amount of
detergent in soft water with clean
clothes, it is possible to get oversudsing.
Unless clothing is dirty, in soft water use
or less of the recommended detergent.
Over Sudsing Example 1
Consumers wash clean clothes in soft
water, no soil for the detergent to hold
in suspension, creating over sudsing.
Over Sudsing Example 2
Small puddle under the drawer usually means over sudsing
Over Sudsing Example 3
Even when using
the recommended
HE detergent, if
too much
detergent is used
suds will be
created.

Troubleshooting Tips
Liquid detergent seeping from main wash
cup into prewash
Leak at Detergent Drawer
Pump Noise
Intermittent stopping in cycle
Siphoning faults
Fabric Softener Dispensing
Steam Operation
Liquid detergent seeping from main wash cup into prewash after filling cup is
normal and is necessary by design to prevent water standing in cup when cycle is
complete. This will not effect normal operation and some of the detergent will enter
during prewash, selections without prewash will see no difference. If the customer
wants to use the pre wash option recommend using a powder detergent.
Notice the notch in between the arrows.
This allows water to bleed out of cup
after dispensing preventing cup from
being full of water after cycle.

Detergent Drawer Leaks
1) Place the Assy-Pump Drain into the
unit.
2) Insert the pump cushion into the
opening at the base of the unit.
3) Once the pump cushion is inserted
into the opening slide the assembly
forward to lock.
4) After the Assy-Pump is locked in
place secure the pump bracket to
the base of the unit.
If the Assy-Pump is installed without placing the
pump cushion into the opening at the base of
the unit. The filter assembly will hit against the
metal bracket at the front of the unit, causing
the pump assembly to make noise.

Water Valve Troubleshooting
The Water valves can be tested by
measuring the output voltage at the
connector. This should measure 120VAC

Water Valve Troubleshooting
What may seem like a water valve problem may be a

Water Valve Troubleshooting
After checking for 120VAC on the connectors and checking the wiring harness,
remove the connectors from the valves and measure the resistance of the
solenoid coils. A good valve solenoid will measure approximately 1.5 k
How to Enter:
Start Dryer tumbling, Press Temp + Signal for 3 seconds during the
drying process (same for all Frontier models.)
Open door, touch both sensor bars with wet cloth,
sensor hit numbers show in display.

Sensor Bar Touch Data Mode
Press Temp + Signal for 3 seconds during the drying cycle (same for all
Frontier models). When there are wet items being dried, data will change
from 0 to 1200 as the wet clothes touch the sensor bars. This procedure
checks the moisture sensor bars ability to detect moisture. If the readings do
not change with wet clothes inside, check the sensor bars.
