PREMIUM PWM8010M (01) PDF DOCUMENT

Please adhere to the following safety precautions when using your PREMIUM PWM8010M washing machine:

General Use & Installation:

• Do not dismantle the machine by yourself.

• Do not install the machine in a damp or rainy environment to avoid electric shock, fire, machine failure, or deformation.

• Do not place inflammable materials like burning candles, mosquito incense, cigarettes, or heating sources like electric stoves on the machine.

• Do not spray water directly onto the machine.

• Make sure that the water inlet hose is connected and the tap is opened before washing.

• Do not exceed the maximum water level to avoid water overflowing and machine failure.

• If using warm water, the water temperature should not exceed 50°C.

• Insert the plug tightly when in use and unplug it from the socket after use.

• Do not pull the cord when unplugging the plug.

Personal Safety:

• Do not let a baby sit on the machine or place heavy things on it.

• Do not let a baby climb on the machine or play near the running tub to avoid an accident.

• Do not put hands into the tub before it stops running completely.

• Do not insert or unplug the plug with wet hands to avoid electric shock.

Clothing & Substances:

• Do not wash clothes that are stained with kerosene, petrol, alcohol, and other flammable substances.

• Do not wash down-filled coats, raincoats, or similar clothes.

Electrical Safety:

• To avoid electric shock resulting from electric leakage, connect the grounding wire of the plug properly.

• Wipe off dirt and dust on the plug often to prevent poor contact with the power supply.

• Do not replace the power cord by yourself.

• Do not damage the power cord and plug to avoid electric shock, short circuits, or fire.

If your PREMIUM PWM8010M will not wash (the motor does not rotate), follow these diagnostic steps:

1. Check if the power supply is working. If not, check the power supply source.

2. If the power supply is okay, check if the plug has good contact in the socket. If not, adjust the plug to ensure good contact.

3. If the plug contact is good, check if the voltage is correct. If not, wait for the voltage to rise to the correct level before using the machine.

4. If the voltage is correct, check if the wash timer is working well. If not, replace the wash timer.

5. If the wash timer is okay, check if the fuse is well. If not, replace the fuse.

6. If the fuse is okay, check if the capacitor is well. If not, replace the capacitor.

7. If the capacitor is okay, the wash motor is likely faulty. If so, replace the wash motor.

If the spin tub on your PREMIUM PWM8010M does not rotate, follow these steps to diagnose the issue:

1. Check if the spin motor is working. If not, replace the spin motor.

2. If the motor is okay, check the safety switch. If it is not working correctly, replace the safety switch.

3. If the safety switch is okay, check the fuse. If it is blown, replace the fuse.

4. If the fuse is okay, check the spin timer. If it is faulty, replace the spin timer.

5. If the spin timer is okay, check the capacitor. If it is faulty, replace the capacitor.

6. If the capacitor is okay, check the cable joint. If it is loose, join the cable with a pair of pliers.

If your PREMIUM PWM8010M is not draining or draining poorly, follow these steps:

1. For lower drain models: Check if the drain hose is put down. If not, put down the drain hose.

2. For upper drain models: Check if the drain hose is laid properly (it should be placed 86cm-100cm from the bottom of the ground). If not, adjust it.

3. Check if the drain hose at the side of the wash tub is blocked. If it is, dismantle the pulsator and take out the blocks in the water drain hose.

4. Check if the wash-drain selection switch is set to the “drain” position. If not, turn the switch to the “drain” position.

5. Check if the drain belt is working well. If not, replace the drain belt.

6. Check if the drain belt is properly on the switch. If not, hang the drain belt onto the switch.

7. For upper drain models: Check if the drain pump is working well. If not, replace the drain pump.

The following are instructions for dismantling the main parts of your PREMIUM PWM8010M. Ensure the machine is unplugged before starting any procedure.

1. Remove the knobs:

• Take out the knobs directly as they are inserted into the control panel. If it is difficult, a straight screwdriver wrapped with cloth can be used for help.

2. Remove the control panel:

a. Take down the back cover by loosening off the screws.

b. Take down the bag by cutting off the nylon clip. Use a plier to take down all wire nuts and make all wire clamps loose. Unfasten the drain belt connector.

c. Unfasten the screws on the control panel.

d. The control panel can now be lifted and removed.

3. Remove the spin cover:

a. Open the spin tub cover and loosen the connector of the brake belt.

b. Keep the spin tub cover open and remove the hinge spring.

c. The spin cover can be drawn out by swinging.

4. Remove the pulsator:

a. Unscrew the pulsator screw.

b. Draw out the pulsator with your hands.

5. Remove the lint filter:

• Press the lint filter subassembly then pull it out.

6. Remove the frame:

a. Screw off the fixing screws of the frame.

b. Screw off the screws under the handles at both sides of the frame.

c. Screw off the stainless steel screw on the top surface of the frame.

d. The frame can then be removed.

7. Remove the spin tub:

a. Unscrew the fixing screw under the tub with a socket wrench.

b. The spin tub can be removed then.

8. Remove the base:

a. Press the V-belt at the part near the pulley. Then take down the V-belt by rotating the pulley.

b. Spread a blanket on the floor and lay down the washing machine. Pull out the drain hose from the clamp and draw out the drain hose subassembly. After the screws on the base are unscrewed, the base assembly can be disassembled.

9. Remove the motor pulley:

• Loosen the nut with a special wrench, then loosen the screw.

10. Remove the capacitor:

• Hold the capacitor firm and then pull it out.

11. Remove the brake wheel:

• Loosen the fixing screw then draw the brake wheel out.

You can test various electronic components using a multimeter or megohmmeter.

Wash Timer:

Turn the wash timer to a work condition. Use a multimeter to measure the connection between the input terminal (brown wire) and output terminal (yellow or orange wire). The wash timer should show a regular on-off reading.

Spin Timer:

Use a multimeter to test the two conducting wires. If the spin timer is in working condition, the two wires should be conductive.

Wash-Drain Selection Switch:

Use a multimeter to measure the selection switch. The switch should show a regular on-off reading.

Safety Switch:

The safety switch should be in a closure state (conductive) when the spin tub cover is closed.

Capacitor:

Use an analog multimeter. Connect the two ends of the capacitor with the multimeter rod connector. If the pointer swings towards the direction of smaller resistance and then turns back to the direction of “0” slowly, the capacitor is okay. If not, it is faulted.

Motor:

a. Insulation Check: Use a 500V megohmmeter to measure the insulation resistance of the motor. It should be higher than 30MΩ. At the same time, check if the other resistances of the motor are normal. If there are any abnormalities (short-circuit, open circuit), the motor cannot be used.

b. Resistance Check: Use a multimeter to measure the resistance of the three leads, naming them R1, R2, and R3. The motor resistance is normal only if “R1+R2=R3”.

c. Operation Check: Use a power cable with a fuse to connect the motor and capacitor correctly. For a used motor, add some 20# machine oil on the upper and lower bearing. After powering on, there should be no obvious noise, vibration, or odor from the motor.

The circuit for the PREMIUM PWM8010M is as follows:

The main power (Brown wire) goes through a Fuse. After the fuse, it splits.

Spin Circuit:

• The Brown wire goes to the Safety Switch.

• From the Safety Switch, a Red wire goes to the Spin Timer.

• The Spin Timer connects via a Purple wire to the Spin Motor (M2) and Capacitor (C2).

• The other side of the Spin Motor is connected to a Yellow/Green wire and then to a Light Blue neutral wire.

Wash Circuit:

• The main Brown wire also goes to the Wash-Drain Selection Switch.

• The Switch has Green and Light Blue/Purple outputs that go to the Wash Timer.

• The Wash Timer has Yellow and Orange outputs that connect to the Wash Motor (M1) and Capacitor (C1).

• The other side of the Wash Motor is connected to a Light Blue neutral wire.

A common Light Blue wire acts as a neutral for both the Spin Motor and Wash Motor.
