HE3t washer Add-A-Garment Fix procedure
[Information posted by Bruce (hbw248) on 5 February 2002 in the Appliances Forum HE3t threads ("HE3t Issues Part 8"). Many thanks, Bruce!!]------------------------------
If your new Hettie ("Hettie" is the Forum nickname for the HE3t) won't allow you to use the "Add-A-Garment" feature, please follow these steps:
1) - Open Door
2) - Select Express Wash (or any wash cycle)
3) - Press And Hold The Door Interlock Switch In
4) - Press The Start Button Until HE3(t) Tries To Start
5) - Machine Will Attempt To Lock Door Six (6) Times
6) - Display Will Show "F/DL" (Door Lock Error)
7) - Release The Door Interlock Switch
8) - Press Pause Button Two (2) Times To Clear Display
The above procedure should clear the program glitch and enable the Add-A-Garment feature. On my machine it also cleared the final spin abort problem at the same time. My HE3t has operated flawlessly since following this procedure.
