washing machine

Please help,
I have a speed queen washing machine that died. The
machine is computer controlled and the processor
intermittently locks up and the replacement board is
$262.00!!! So what does a stamp programmer do? Build a
new controller and program it with a stamp, and that's
exactly what I did. However, I don't understand
something about the operation of the motor. In one
direction(ccw) the motor causes agitation to happen
and the pump to recirculate water, in the other
direction(cw) the drum spins and the pump drains the
tank out. The problem is that I can't get the pump to
drain without causing the tank to spin. When the
machine is loaded with cloths, you should be able to
drain off the water before spinning the load. The
motor is controlled by two relays,(I am using the
original high level driver board) one supplies the
main winding and the other is a double pole double
throw type that causes the motor direction to change.
It may be that these relays need to be energized in a
certain sequence or delay time. If anyone has any info
about the motor or machine operation I would greatly
appreciate it.

that the spin and drain go together. The centrifugal action forces the
water out of the clothes. Would love to see your code when done. This
sounds like a real neat application for a stamp.

shifted the transmission from agitate to pump. On the Sears washers the look
like two solenoid coils next to each other on one assembly.

Yes, and this is an application that our wives will appreciate !
(finally...) :-)
I don't know if I'm the only one in this situation, but my wife always say
that I'm 'playing' when I work on my central heating control project...

does it do? I have some of the clock chips if you need one. 6355 I
think is the number. They are serial..

Some of the machines trigger the spin after pumpout mechanically I
think. The late model Sears (Whirlpool) I have will pump, then stop
briefly and some mechanism latches. When the motor reenergizes it spins
and pumps.

raising the lid I hear the latch engage as the motor slows. When I
close the lid it spins and pumps. So your machine may not have an
electrical method of engaging the spin. It may be mechanical.

As it turns out, the speed queen set-up uses a spring
loaded idler that supplies that tranny with power for
the spin cyle. The idler disengages the belt to the
drum when the drum is loaded (water and clothes) but
the pump continues to run at full speed, when the drum
empties the water the drum becomes lighter and the
idler gradually engages the belt for the spin mode. By
the way, a bs2 comtrolled washing machine is
great!!And the wife finally appreciates one of my
projects>

Well, Im currently working on this system.
The stamp is controlling 2 pumps (one for each floor), and the fuel burner.
I use 3 DS1620 to get the room temperature, outside temperature, and the
water temperature.
So I can control the water temperature (if the weather is colder, I set the
water temperature higher). Also, as I'm working on differents shifts, I need
heating at different moments. It's very simple to program that (plus
summer/winter mode, holidays...). The system has a LCD and a 6-key keyboard.
I begin to make some tests with the DS1302 (Dallas Semiconductors). I think
it's a nice chip, with real-time clock, 31 bytes of RAM, 3-wire interface,
and it may be backuped by a super-cap. And it's cheap (about 3$ in
Belgium...)
Phil.

1. Prewash tepid water (not warm-not cold) (20 minutes)
Use thermistor to monitor temps using RCTIME
Engage hot or cold as needed
2. Spinout
3. Pause (add soap and bleach)
4. Hot water wash (20 minutes)
5. Double rinse
Boy you could really have fun with that project using LCD. Use KISS
concepts to avoid having wife get confused. Would be really slick if
you could do custom cycles by menu selection for custom washes and
retain some standard cycles also. 'Course that will keep you
programming for a few months. I can picture wife tapping toes wondering
if she'll ever get to use the machine again. AND, if so, if it will
take a doctorate degree in engineering to figure out how to work it.
Have fun

totally customizing the appliances. She's been sending me things she
wants in the code. Settable extended soak, pause and chime after
rinse (to remind her to add the fabric softener), auto re-rinse if
the clothes sat in the washer overnight. She wants to customize the
dryer too, with a short cool tumble every 20mins after it stopped
drying (to prevent wrinkles) in case she forgets to take the clothes
out right away.
It looks like I'll be doing this for my next project. Thanks for the
ideas.

How about having a automotive windshield washer pump inject the soap???
When you bring home liquid soap you could just set it on the floor and
drop the suction tube in it. The stamp could inject different amounts
depending on,
A. Water Level
B. User defined grade of soiling
Light
Medium
Heavy
I don't know if those little plastic pumps could handle bleach. But it
might be worth a try. They are only $10-$15.
Probably the easiest reminder for wife to do clothes is to have the
Stamp automatically hang up the phone for her [noparse]:)[/noparse]

Do You Yahoo!?
Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
unless it is of a special type for this appliance. You risk producing too
much foam!!!
Good luck, it's nice to hear that computing can keep a wife happy and
enthusiastic on your programming activity!
