2.1.1. Toolbar
The toolbar contains the following functions/icons:
●● SetUp
●● Connection button
●● Statistics
2.1.1.1. SetUp
In normal circumstances the technician performs SetUp procedures only at the first start-up.
The software SetUp involves defining the required configuration parameters:
●● COM port to be used for communication with the appliance.
●● Language.
Select SetUp to choose the parameter to be defined, as shown in the following figure:
COM port selection

The technician must choose the same COM port associated with the Bluetooth Service Hardware
Key during the recognition procedure.
Incorrect assignment of the port can generate a COM port open message or a generic communication
error message.
Language selection
The default language is English. To change language choose from among the 13 languages
currently present. (Italian, English, French, Spanish, Greek, Dutch, Czech, Hungarian, German,
Polish, Russian, Turkish, Portuguese).

DOCTOR NP
14
4.3. Automatic test sequences
The software allows management of two automatic test sequences:
●● One responsible for execution of all the tests associated with the functional elements controlled
by the Main board, TestAutomaticoMAIN.
●● One responsible for execution of all the tests associated with the interface components,
TestAutomaticoDISPLAY.
Selection of one of the two sequences is achieved by pressing the relative button.
Execution follows the rules described previously for the Single Test mode, with certain specificities:
●● The execution follows the display list sequentially;
●● Execution is suspended at the time of the first failure (first fault identified);
●● To suspend execution and force the test result to Fail (STOP button ).
●● To force the program to go to the next test, interrupting the current test and setting it to Fail
status , press Passed button (>> button).

If the turbidity sensor is not present the elements remain on 0.
○○ Restore
number of times in which the appliance had to replenish the water (with respect to the
preset quantity) to ensure dynamic balance.
○○ KO Restore
number of times in which the appliance skipped the cycle stage (prewash or wash or rinse)
because dynamic balance was not reached (full dynamic pressure switch). This occurs
when replenishment reaches 5.5 liters and full pressure switch has not yet been reached.
Probably problems with hydraulic circuit (clogged filters, pressure switch calibration)
○○ Duration
cycle duration in minutes.
The possible delay set for starting, or the intervals in which the cycle is in PAUSE status
are not included.
○○ alarm code
○○ alarm subcode

○○ cycle restore ko
number of cycles in which at least one Restore KO has occurred
○○ cycle with delayed start

indicates the number of cycles started with a delay. The variable is incremented when the
cycle is started, so it also includes any cycles that have been reset.
○○ Appliance running time

Total running time of the appliance in HOURS
○○ Functions
Each buffer element indicates the number of cycles in which a certain user function has
been selected
6.4.3. Faults
This section contains information concerning the last 5 faults that occurred on the appliance. The
order is from the most recent fault to the oldest.
Whenever a new fault occurs, if the code or subcode are different from those of the most recent
stored fault saved fault, the list is scrolled, deleting the oldest information and adding the information
relative to the new fault at the beginning. If the code or subcode coincide with those of the most
recent fault, only the most recent fault Occurrence field will be incremented; this field records the
number of consecutive times the fault occurred. As the list scrolls it also retains, for each recorded
fault, also the information concerning the number of times it has recurred.
For each fault, the information is arranged in accordance with the structure:
○○ code
○○ subcode
○○ occurrence: number of times the fault recurred

DOCTOR NP
34
6.4.4. Pre faults
This section contains information concerning the last 5 prefaults that occurred on the appliance.
The order is from the most recent prefault to the oldest.
With regard to the storage routine, the same logic is applicable as for the Faults, with the sole
difference that the prefault is recorded in PreFault[] at the time it occurs.
For each fault, the information is arranged in accordance with the structure:
○○ code
○○ subcode
○○ occurrence: number of times the fault recurred
6.4.5. Black box

6.4.6. How to read statistics

If the customer reports poor drying results, check whether rinse aid was present in the 8 previous
cycles.
If the customer reports a white deposit in the tank, check for lime scale (excessively hard water),
check:
●● the water hardness setting present in the last 8 cycles, and whether the setting was correct
●● the presence of salt in the last 8 cycles
If the customer reports dishes with white cloudy stains, check whether the water is too soft;
check the water hardness value set in the last 8 cycles.
If the customer reports poor washing performance check the last 8 cycles executed by the
appliance and the dirt level detected by the turbidity sensor (if present). If the customer uses the rapid
cycle with very heavily soiled dishes, poor washing performance is to be expected. Recommend
the use of longer cycles. Check for RESTORE or KO RESTORE routines, which indicate a clogged
filter or problems on the water cycle.
If the customer reports imperfect washing in one of the racks, check whether a washing option
with just one of the racks has been utilized during the 8 preceding cycles. If so, the technician must
explain to the customer that the dishes must be placed only in the selected rack.
If the customer reports that the cycle lasts too long, check the actual duration of the last 8 cycles.
You can also explain that if the dishes are very dirty (read the value of the turbidity sensor), the
appliance detects this condition and extends the duration of the cycles to improve washing results.

DOCTOR NP
35
If the customer reports excessive foam, check the cycle performed by the customer (especially if
a rapid cycle has been used), the turbidity sensor value (if “0” the customer is probably prewashing
the dishes) and ask whether he is using too much detergent or multifunction tablets. If these
conditions are fulfilled, advise the customer to stop prewashing the dishes and/or to stop using
multifunction tablets.
If the customer reports that the cycle finishes in 10 minutes with poor washing results, check
to see whether Restore or KO Restore routines have occurred in the last 8 cycles; if so, check
for possible clogged filters, if the pressure switch, if the pressure switch is subject to calibration
problems, advise the customer to load cook pots in the correct position.

7.1.10. Fabric Softener EV

The fabric softener solenoid valve does not physically exist on the appliance; correct intake of
fabric softener is achieved by simultaneous use of the wash and prewash solenoid valves. The
test is similar to the previous tests with the difference that in the intake stage both the wash and
prewash solenoid valves are activated:
a. If both solenoid valves are damaged it is not possible to reach the full level and therefore
the test will fail
b. If just one of the two solenoid valves is broken, the prewash level is anyway reached,
but there is no means of ascertaining that it has been reached using only one solenoid.
The technician should be able to hypothesize that the machine is unable to perform
fabric softener intake correctly from the failure of either the wash EV or prewash EV tests
performed earlier. It is advisable to avoid performing the fabric softener EV test alone,
combining it instead with the wash EV and prewash EV tests

7.5. Tips
Tips on optimal use of the software
The following suggestions are designed to facilitate use of the software:
1. Always check that there is no laundry in the washing machine. If laundry is present, remove it
before starting the application.
2. Always check that the door is closed The door must be closed for all tests except for User
Interface checks.
3. During the solenoid valves test, when so permitted by the washing machine model, you can
open the detergent drawer to check the correct flow of water.
4. During the motor test, when so permitted by the washing machine model, always check that
the drum turns first in one direction and then in the other.
5. If water remains in the drum while performing single tests, before terminating the procedure it
is good practice to run the pump test or successively (after reset) run the drain program.
6. If the appliance is new, failure to reach the set maximum spin speed in the initial wash cycles
is to be considered normal.
7. If the set spin value or the maximum value do not correspond to the value printed on the appliance
fascia, possible explanations are:
a. In the setting file lower speeds have been set than the printed speed values. In this case
the difference will be minimal (a few tens of rpm).
b. The MAIN board has been programmed with an incorrect setting file; before programming
the board perform a global check of appliance operation.
8. At the end of the procedure it is always advisable to perform an appliance reset: disconnect the
power supply, wait for a few seconds (use this interval, for example, to remove the Hardware
Key) then reconnect the appliance to the power supply.

Some tests are executed in a manner that is transparent for the technician who, once the routine
has been started, simply waits for the result without taking any action, while other tests require the
technician to interact with the appliance.
Tests that call for action by the technician during execution include interface tests and certain
functional tests. In the following headings these tests are analyzed, with details of the technician’s
role.
The sequence of tests of which the functional test is composed differs on the basis of the static

8.1.3. Sensors Test (FR air, evaporator, FZ air)
The test must check correct connection of the input by reading the impedance of the NTC sensor.
The range of impedance values in which the sensor must fall in order to function correctly is
retrieved from the setting file.
This type of test identifies two cases:
●● Sensor short circuit (sensor impedance close to 0 Ohm, corresponding to the threshold
temperature of -40°C)
●● Sensor open circuit (sensor impedance less than 5kOhm, corresponding to the threshold
temperature of +40°C)

The test is based on checking of the correct operation of the feedback associated with the defrost
heating elements and the part of the MAIN PCB concerned with pilot control of the heating elements.
●● Heating elements short circuit
●● Heating elements open circuit
Important! If the product is equipped with more than one defrost heating element, the result of the
test may be OK even though the circuit of one heating element is open and the other is functioning
correctly – the heating elements are connected in parallel so circuit continuity is maintained.

8.3. Special Tests
8.3.1. Global Test

Global operation of the appliance is tested by simulating temperature changes, which the technician
can check by means of the relevant panel.
This test is started by pressing the Global Test button and each stage can be skipped by pressing
the forward button (>>); the test can also be stopped at any time by pressing the STOP button.
This test is composed of 3 stages, the maximum duration of which is preset.
The stages are: heating, FZ cooling, FR cooling.
In the first, heating stage, all loads are disconnected and the technician is prompted to open the
doors. The maximum duration of this stage is 15 minutes.
Once the heating stage is finished the cooling stage starts, first of all for the freezer. The FZ
compartment is selected and the compressor starts. After 2 minutes also the fan is started (NoFrost
appliances only). Only the compressor is left running for 2 minutes to emphasize the temperature
change when the fan is switched on. The maximum duration of this stage is 20 minutes.
The last stage is cooling of the fridge, selecting the required compartment and starting, if envisaged,
the compressor, the service fan (static products), the damper, and the freezer fan (NoFrost products).
The maximum duration of this stage is 20 minutes.
The Global test window is as follows:
FigCL10 FigCL11
The “Current” text box shows the stage of the global test currently in execution.
There are 3 columns in the central part. The first column contains the names of the various sensors,
while the other two show the values measured by the sensors.
The second column shows the values measured at the start of each stage of the test. Each stage
can be selected at any time by means of the combo box at the top of the column.
The third and final column contains the current values of the sensors, read at 2 second intervals.

DOCTOR NP

8.3.2. Defrost elements test (No-Frost products only)
The defrost block is composed of one or two heating elements wired in parallel; failed operation
of either of the two elements cannot be detected automatically. This test therefore simulates a
defrost procedure.
The maximum duration is 5 minutes and the test can be suspended by the technician, by pressing
the STOP button, or by the program, if the freezer evaporator maximum temperature value increases
excessively. The technician must check correct operation of the test by touching the heated part
or by observing the variation in sensor temperature shown also on the status bar:
The test is started by pressing the button on the lower toolbar.
8.3.3. Internal Temperatures Graph

This test is launched by pressing the Statistics Graphic button. The test is present only on the
ARTICA electronic platform. A graph is plotted of the temperature curves logged by three NTC
probes:
-- Refrigerator air probe
-- Freezer air probe
-- Evaporator probe (freezer evaporator in NoFrost models, refrigerator evaporator in Static
models)
All three temperature values are logged simultaneously when one of the following events occurs:
-- Compressor start
-- Compressor stop
-- Defrost heating element power-on
-- Defrost heating element power-off
The number of events logged depends on the appliance operating conditions, but it cannot exceed
146, corresponding to a maximum of 3 days of appliance operation (limit of 48 events per day).
When the memory is full, the events of the first day of monitoring are overwritten by the newly
logged values. The third day is usually only partially full; this means that the system displays the
graphs (also statistics) from the start time of the third day (48 hours after the start of day one) until
the time of data reading on the graph.
Graphs are displayed showing the temperature curves for each NTC probe. Each of the above
events is shown by a vertical line (a broken line if the event occurred in normal operating conditions,
a continuous line if the event occurred after a power loss condition).

DOCTOR NP
70
The status of the Super Freezer [SF] function at the time of occurrence of the event is displayed
above the graph area, in the points corresponding to the event:
-- 0 = function inactive
-- 1 = function active
The graph horizontal axis corresponds to time elapsed:

-- Between two events >> in grey, in the graph area
-- From appliance lifetime start >> in black, at the edges of the graph area
To display previous (successive) logged data, use the navigation arrows .
Each intersection between a vertical line (broken or continuous) and graph curve corresponds to
the temperature logged at the time of the event. Click on the point to display details of the logged
value.

DOCTOR NP
71
The temperature scale (vertical axis) is adapted to match the results shown on the graph. To obtain
a more detailed scale level, press the button in the bottom left corner to open a window in
which the graphs to display can be selected:
If a single NTC probe is selected only the graph relative to the selected probe will be displayed,
so, especially in the case of the Refrigerator Air probe, this produces a significant reduction of the
vertical axis temperature range.
The button corresponds to the cumulative Compressor Run time display window (Time ON)
and the compressor Number of Stops (Go OFF). These calculations are performed separately for
each of the three days monitored.
The button produces a landscape display on the palmtop device screen. When the button
is pressed again the screen returns to portrait display mode.

DOCTOR NP
72
8.4. Monitoring Parameters (sensors)
The purpose of this test is to display the temperature recorded by the sensors in real time. The
window will display the name of the sensor and the relative value. The reading is refreshed once
every 2 seconds.

The test is activated by pressing the button on the toolbar.

RH/LH Fault Heat Sink:
Visual Fault:
DOWN/UP/MIDDLE RH/LH Fault Ind:
each fault is associated with a code, subcode and, if necessary, e.g.: Down LH Fault Ind. F06.02:
4, (cf. SQG_CK_20).
Important: for the times estimate, the sensitivity is one minute. The times error tolerance is
+1 minute. For example, the reading:
DOWN LH Ind. Max Level (#): 1
DOWN LH Ind. Max Level (min): 0
Means that the bottom inductor on the right has been utilized at full power just once during cooking,
for a time of less than one minute.
It may occur that Max Power is reached by switching on the booster; in this case, in addition to
the above information, also the following wording will be appended:
DOWN LH Booster (#): 1
DOWN LH Booster (min): 1
In this case, the +1 minute tolerance is on the booster! This means that the Max level has been
reached with the booster and has been active for less than one minute.
9.4.3. Last fault:
Fig 10
If there are no faults, when “last fault” is selected the message “no fault” will appear.
If Faults are present, the 3 Last Faults will be shown with the subcodes for each inductor and for
the entire hob, with the relative information in the values field.
Example: Down LH Fault Ind. F06.02: 4, (cf.: SQG_CK_20). Specifically, the first fault displayed
will be the last one that occurred in chronological order.
