3.1 Electric installation
Before plugging the washing machine into an electric socket, check if:
1. The client has a compatible electric installation in accordance with the potency of the washing machine with
a minimum socket wiring of 2,5 mm2 ;
2. Check if there are an exclusive ground lead and a thermal cut-out switch nearby and if they are easy to reach.
If there are no ground lead and thermal cut out do not proceed. Wait until the consumer has them in place.
3. The washing machine’s plug and the electric socket are compatible, avoiding the use of adapters. If necessary,
substitute the socket by a compatible one;
4. The voltage, from the electric feeding, corresponds to the specified voltage for the washing machine (110V or
220V – see the label around the feeding cord);
5. There is a water inlet filter which comes together with the Instructions Manual.
3.2 Location
The washing machine must be placed over an even and levelled floor, in a ventilated room, safely away from the
washing basin/tank in order to avoid the corrosion of its cabinet as a consequence of humidity.

6. HOW IT WORKS
The removal of dirt, from clothes, in the washing machine is obtained through the combination of mechanical
movement and chemical action. The fabrics in the washing machine are kept in continuous movement through the
basket rotation. The fabrics turn to both sides whereas the detergent is dissolved. The water-detergent solution,
then, “wets” the fabric and is forced through its fibres facilitating the contact between the dirt and the soap. The
chemical action dissolves the dirt which will be removed from the fabric by the strong mechanical action.
SPIN BOWL
GASKET
TANK
THERMOSTAT
RESISTANCE
SHOCK-ABSORBER
The water heating resistance, the thermostat and the spin bowl are fixed to the tank. The thermostat function is to
interrupt the feeding (electric energy) to the resistance when the temperature reaches 60°C. The basket is cylindrical
and made of stainless steel and is coaxially assembled to the tank. The shaking and spinning movements are
carried out by the motor which is under the tank. The motor used is asynchronous of 2/18 poles. With the same
motor it is possible to make the basket shake (low rotation) and spin (high rotation). The kind of electric connection
defines the speed of the motor. The draining pump is responsible for the draining of the water in the tank. The water
is expelled through the draining hose. All components, in the washing machine, are commanded by the timer. The
loading of the washing machine is done at the front and that’s why the machine is called Front Load.

6.1.1 Cabinet
The washing machine is supplied with a cabinet which has a
structural function. The cabinet is manufactured from a steel
plate which receives chemical treatment and is, finally, painted
white. This paint protects the cabinet against chemical
products used during the washing process (bleaching,
detergent, softening products). Inside the cabinet we find all
the necessary components for the washing process: water
inlet gauge, water distribution set, timer, operation keys, tank
and draining pump.
1. Top cover
2. Rear cover
3. Cabinet
The tank has two parts: front body and rear body. They are made of Carboran and
are fixed by screws. There are two bearings, in the rear body, which give support
to the basket. They are fixed to a zamak cylindrical part (holder) which is part of
the tank rear body. Next to the internal bearing there is a retainer that impedes
the water to go from the tank to the bearings.
Observation: Carboran is a material developed and patented by Electrolux and is resistant to impact
and high temperatures.

6.1.4 Spin Bowl
The spin bowl is a pierced plate and two flanges of stainless
steel, fixed by a folding process. Inside the basket there are
three fixed wings. The spider is made of aluminium alloy and
fixed to the basket by screws. The wad of the basket axle does
not let the basket touch the tank.

9. Soap Drawer’s Place
The function of the soap dispenser is to correctly distribute the chemical products (powdered soap, bleaching and
softening products) used in the washing process. It is commanded by the timer through the cam and a set of
levers. The cam has 4 positions which correspond, in the soap dispenser, to the water distribution in the pre-
washing, washing, bleaching and softening processes. Depending on the programme which is being used, the
piston is positioned in the adequate water distribution compartment. In the washing machine, the pre-washing
compartment is used in the beginning of the Normal Fabric Cycle and Soft Fabric Cycle (programmes 1 and 9).
The bleaching compartment is used during the second rinsing in the Normal Fabric Cycle and during the first
rinsing in the Soft Fabric Cycle. The softening compartment is always used during the last rinsing process.
Important: never use alcohol, kerosene, gasoline, bleach, detergent ou any other abrasive chemical
product to clean the washing machine.
7.2 Gasket
It is recommended the customer to clean periodically the door gasket using a
cloth with water and soap to avoid stains in the clothes.
! Procedures
• Pull the drawer as showns in the illustration below;
• Wash it under water;
• Use a brush to clean it if necessary;
• If there is accumulated soap in the compartment, use a brush to remove it;
• Replace the drawer.

18
7.4 Water Inlet Filter
The water inlet filter must be periodically cleaned.
! Procedures
• Switch off the washing machine (unplug it);
• Remove the filter cover;
• Place a container under the filter to avoid water dripping;
• Remove and wash the filter under water eliminating all residues;
• Replace the filter.
This device has an internal resistance that heats a bi-metallic. The bi-metallic expands and locks the door.
Important: please note that, after the end of the washing cycle, the device keeps the door locked for,
approximately, 2 minutes. This is the necessary time for the bi-metallic to cool and return to
its original position.
Symbol: Test:
1. energize the door safety device in terminals “L” and “N” (the
internal resistance heats and expands the bi-metallic);
2. remove the feeding and press the metallic tongue simulating
the closing of the door. The metallic tongue locks;
3. with a multimeter, in the resistance scale, check the continuity
between terminals “L” and “C” (resistance practically equal
to zero).

8.2 Pressostat
The pressostat controls the water level (level 1 ou level 2), that is the quantity of water that goes inside the washing
machine. It is, generally, located at the front side of the machine at a height superior to the maximum level of water in
the basket. The pressostat has two chambers separated by a diaphragm; the superior chamber and the inferior
chamber. The superior chamber has fast contacts connected at the centre of the diaphragm by a level mechanism.
The inferior chamber (air chamber) is hermetically sealed and is connected through a small pipe to the bulb of the
pressostat.
When the water enters the washing machine, the water level goes up and, consequently, the air pressure in the
inferior chamber of the pressostat goes up too. The increase of pressure over the diaphragm of the pressostat
forces it up. Depending on the pressure at which the fast contacts are regulated, they go from a rest position
(contacts 1-2 closed) to the reached level position (contacts 1-3 closed). A washing machine may have, basically,
two types of pressostat: with one level control ou with several level controls. In the washing machines here
described, the pressostat has only one level control.
! Pressostat Operation
There is no water in the tank, so there is no pressure on the diaphragm. The diaphragm
remains in the rest position (contacts 1-2) while the pressure from the water is below or
equal to the spring pressure on the fast contacts.
The water enters the tank. The bulb of the pressostat forms with the tank a U-shaped
tube. The pressure over the diaphragm of the pressostat is given by the height “h”. The
pressure increases in accordance with the increasing water amount going inside the
tank. When the pressure on the diaphragm is equal to the pressostat regulated pressure,
the fast contacts go from position 1-2 to position 1-4.
The water in the tank is being drained. As the water level decreases the pressure also
decreases. The springs of the fast contacts force the diaphragm down. The moment the
pressure of the springs is a bit higher than the pressure on the diaphragm, the pressostat
goes back to its rest position (contacts 1-2).
Symbol: Test:
1. with no water in the washing machine, check the continuity between
terminals 1 and 2 for empty level, with a multimeter (resistance
scale);
2. simulate the pressurization of the pressostat;
3. with the pressostat pressurized, check if terminals 1 and 3 present
continuity, they should.

8.3 Water Inlet Valve
It is an electric device that, when on, allows water entrance into the washing
machine. The water inlet valve is connected, externally, to the water inlet
hose and, internally, to the soap distribution set.
! Valve Operation
Valve OFF
As shown in the illustration, the needle presses the diaphragm due to the
action of the spring. The diaphragm, in its rest position, does not allow the
water to continue its way to the soap compartment. If the water pressure
is high the water will go through the diaphragm as the pressure of the
spring is not enough to keep the valve closed. The screen filter prevents
any residue from staying on the diaphragm; if it happens, the valve will let
the water in.
Valve ON
When the coil of the water inlet valve is energized, a magnetic field is
created and it influences the needle. Then, the needle is pressed against
the spring which contracts itself. The water pressure is enough to pull the
diaphragm letting the water in. If the pressure is low, even when the spring
is contracted, the diaphragm will not allow the water in.
Symbol: Test:
1. Check the continuity of the solenoid terminals. The resistance value must
be between the following figures:
2. When energized, the water inlet gauge must allow the water in.
Observation: if the water does not go inside the washing machine check, as well, the draining pump.
This document cannot be reproduced or given at third without the authorization of Electrolux do Brasil S.A.
21
Symbol: Test:
1. Check the continuity of the terminals in the draining pump. The resistance
value must be between the values described in the previously mentioned
chart.
2. With some water in the washing machine and with the draining pump in
place, check if the draining occurs when the pump is directly energized.
Observation: the functioning of the draining pump, without water, may damage the mechanical seal.
8.5 CAPACITOR
In the washing machine a capacitor is used to help the start and to correct the potency factor of the motor during
the washing and spinning processes. The capacitor is externally connected to the motor and fixed to the cabinet.
TENSION OF THE
EW607/EW757
PRODUCT
Symbol: Test:
1. With an analogic multimeter (with hands) in the resistance scale, conect
the multimeter’s test ends to the capacitor. Check that the resistance
tends to zero (figure 1) and, immediately after, increases its value to infinite
(figure 2). If the deflection of the hand is small, change the resistance
reading scale in the multimeter.
2. Invert the test ends in the capacitor and the process will be repeated.
FIGURE 1 FIGURE 2
Observation: if the hand does not deflect or deflects but does not return the capacitor is defective.
8.6 Motor
The motor used in the washing machine is an asynchronous monophase
motor. The monophase motors are supplied with a start torque. The start
torque is ensured by the addition of a start coil, electrically 90° out of
phase from the main coil. The 90° out of phase is obtained by the addition
of a capacitor in series with a coil.
This document cannot be reproduced or given at third without the authorization of Electrolux do Brasil S.A.
22
The rotor is cage type made of cast aluminium. The motor speed of an asynchronous monophase motor depends
on the tension frequency applied and on the number of stator’s coils. With the motor empty, the rotation of the
motor – in the spinning process – frequency of 60Hz is of 3500 RPM. In the shaking/washing process, 445 RPM.
Loaded, the motor rotation falls. For example, the nominal rotation of the motor are: 3360 RPM in spinning and 360
RPM in shaking. The motor has a thermal protector which is used when an electrical or mechanical overcharge
occurs.
In the these models a motor of 2 pole for spinning is used. Working with 16 poles together with the plate, the
rotation of the basket, in the tumbling process, is of 55 rpm.
Test:
There are two ways of testing the motor:
8.7 Resistance
It is used to heat the water in the washing machine. It is armor-plated type
and manufactured in stainless steel and its potency is of 1450 W for the
127V models and 1950W for the 220V models. There are two thermal-
fuses in the 220V products and 1 thermal-fuse in the 127V products in the
contact point (safety elements) which break when resistance temperature
exceeds 200 °C.
The fixation of the resistance to the washing machine is guaranteed by a case that
expands when fixed. The fixation in the interior of the tank is done by the resistance
holder. This holder prevents the resistance from touching the tank or basket.
Resistance holder
Please note that there are three terminals in the resistance: two for feeding and one for grounding. The terminal in
the middle is the one used for grounding.
Symbol: Test:
1. Using a multimeter check the continuity of the resistance.
THERMAL-FUSE RESISTANCE

8.8 Adjustable Thermostat
In these models, the water temperature can be selected by the user. It’s just a matter of selecting the desired
temperature with the Temperature Knob. The temperature can be from minimum (room temperature) to a maximum
of 60 °C.
Test:
1. Using a multimeter, check the continuity between the terminals of the adjustable thermostat;
2. Put the thermostat shaft to its maximum position (60 °C). With the bulb in room temperature the contacts
must be closed;
3. Using a thermometer to compare the temperatures, heat the bulb up to the desired temperature and check the
thermostat’s performance and the terminals’ continuity using a multimeter;
4. When the bulb reaches the selected temperature, the contacts open interrupting the electric current between
the terminals in the adjustable thermostat.
8.9 Switches
They are used as switch on/off keys (they interrupt the electric current) in the Medium
Load, Non Spinning and Anti-wrinkle functions.
Contact NA Contact NF
8.10 Timer
The timer is the component that controls all the operations in the
washing machine: times, spin bowl shaking/washing and spinning/
centrifuging processes among other things.
1. Fixed contacts
2. Movable blade
3. Lever
4. Cam
As shown in the illustration, the motor starts the cams (4). Depending on their position, the Lever (3) makes the
movable Blade (2) close or open the contact with the fixed Contacts (1).
Check if terminal 7 can have three positions:
• Terminal 7 does not close contact with terminals B and T.
• Terminal 7 closes contact with terminal B.
• Terminal 7 closes contract with terminal T.
This document cannot be reproduced or given at third without the authorization of Electrolux do Brasil S.A.
24
The timer includes two types of cams:
• Fast Cams: are continually moved by the timer motor and are used to execute inversions of the main motor
rotation during the washing process. One rotation of the fast cams lasts for 5 minutes and is represented by 60
steps.
• Slow Cams: move slowly in accordance with the selected programme and are responsible for the other functions.
A complete rotation of the slow cams is performed by 60 steps. The duration of each step varies in accordance
with the Time Chart.
1. Fast Cams
2. Slow Cams
In the timer, each terminal is represented by an address (a letter and a number). We call each line by a letter
(A,B,C...) and each column by a number (1,2,3...).
Test:
1. The Timer motor can be tested, measuring the resistance value of its coil.
2. Check the continuity of the contacts with a multimeter in resistance scale, Time Chart, Electric Diagram and
Timer Switches’ Internal Connection Diagram.
Observation:
• Check the continuity of the contacts it is necessary to have the selector puller;
• With the timer outside the machine, it is possible to check steps 34 and 60 measuring the continuity of contact
12 (terminals A 4 with A5). When the resistance is infinite, the step is 34 or 60. To know which step is which,
count the number of steps until the next;
• Each step descrived in the Time cHart corresponds to a click of the timer.
