Bearings Again!

So less than 2 years later, I am re-doing the bearings. Hopefully this time we have better luck. 

Process Changes:


Notes:





LF (Long Fill) Error Code

LF flashes when the water level does not change for a period of time OR water is present but control does not detect the water level changing.



Replacing the Inlet Valve

Old Valve


The red relay wires were not long enough so I had to extend them.


After replacing the valve, I noticed that the water through the detergent valve ran much faster. Must have been the issue.


Testing the resistance of the valves showed about 1.3kΩ.
