Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

The TD3030's are a complete nightmare. If it isn't the blower (E05 error) then it is the temp input thermistor (E17 error). And then there is the E14 gas valve errors. And the E15 errors when you forget to clean the secondary lint screens. Then there is the E99 general failure error. I have the first of the first of these. When they work, they are phenomenal, but look at them wrong and they will blow an error.

The extra valve is on the larger capacity machines to assist with the fill (it can be long with just the 2 valves) and to flush sticky, gooey additives into the machine and keep the dispenser box clean. This is the way it is on the Gen 5 and 6 machines; the Gen 4 setup may be different -- the center valve with the 3 solenoids are for the soapbox. Connect this to hot to keep the box a bit more fresh.

I was looking at the drain. Is it the motorized one or the pancake/Berkert water solenoid one? Looks like the motorized one to me; I didn't see a Berkert solenoid up near the water valves.
 
Yes, this machine uses the motorized dump valve. It sits in the center on the machine at the bottom. The plate that it is sitting on looks to be very badly rusted. I may have to replace it with something like SS.

That machine uses the (tit) programme cards. they are grey and come in 60 or 90 min formulas. they little tits that you cut off for each 30 seconds of time for what you what it to do.I had a 75 lb machine like it a few years ago and LOVED it. but bearings went and beacuse of its age was replaced. They will do a VERY good job of washing and will out wash the ipso hands down.
 
I was given several these as well as some blank ones. I don't know if these will cause my machine to function as it should, but it will be interesting as to what the machine will do with these cards.

You can use the machine on manual if you turn the program card to off. it will keep there until you turn it back on.. use a blank card for manual operation. the Wascomat I had was FL 75 but was at least 10 years ago when we traded it in for the 150 Edro Dyna Wash which weighs 2300 lbs.and was a nightmare to get in. Took folklift and 3 men to get it in place. You should NOT have any problems finding any parts you need for that machine, They are still widely used, A lot of them in shirt laundries. the main thing you want to be sure of is too KEEP the cards CLEAN, Spray them with wd 40 about once a mo. and it will keep the reader running right.Wash the off with warm water and let them air dry about once a mo also. If you have to buy any they are EXPENSIVE. If you can find a soap rep that has some left he might just give them to you as they rarely have a use for them anymore. Did you get the card cutter with it? The first pic of the cards are the ones I remember but the other cards may work as well. They had 2 or 2 different styles for those machines. Wascomat tech service is pretty nice to help if you call them just let them think you are a laundry melvins laundry ect. they are not so hip on helping some one off the street. They are just that way.. There a lot of dealers that will help you too. and many of the parts houses will be glad to help. As said there a lot of places that sell Wasco parts.

No, didn't get a card cutter with it. I did find a manual of the FL EXSM 35 on-line that gives me an idea of how to cut the cards, and how to read the program on them. However, the functions for that machine are slightly different. Do you still have the manuals to the FL 75 machine you had?
 
Sorry melvin

They are long gone.. Wascomat will help you with it I am sure. Or pretty sure you can still get a manual for it with out too much problem.
 
Thanks Mac. I'll give them a call within a week or two. Overall, the machine looks very good for being ~24 years old. My Series 1 W-73 machine is in much worse shape. Who ever had this machine took very good care of it. Whether the electrics are in the same condition, we will see.
