INTRODUCTION It is important to read this guide and view the illustrations carefully before attempting to programme any Eeprom. PROGRAMME USES. Eeprom Writer has been introduced to enable Indesit Engineers to programme Eeproms from their Emit terminal. This saves on van stock levels due to common Eeproms being used, and also saves unwanted SSRs to complete a repair. The programme can be used to establish the current File Version loaded to the Eeprom using the Get from Hardware setting. It can programme a blank Service Eeprom /over write a programmed Eeprom fitted onto a power board, or programme /over write a factory fitted soldered Eeprom. The software will work with: - Laundry Appliances manufactured with Evo 1 software. - Laundry Appliances manufactured with Evo 2 software. FILES All Eeprom files are stored on the Emit terminal and updated as Emit receives normal updates. The files should be loaded using two search methods (see Page 31): CHECKS AND POINTS TO REMEMBER. Ensure that for all Evo 1 type appliances that the machine is in a reset position and turned on at the mains and via on/off button. Evo 2 type appliances need to be switched on at the mains only. After programming or re-programming an Eeprom, it is essential that a functional test is carried out using Wash Doctor 1 or 2 programme to establish that the appliance functions correctly. For Tumble Dryers, a manual functional test should be carried out. Tumble dryers are all EVO 2 based. Do not run Eeprom Writer at the same time as any Wash Doctor programme. 5

USING THE SOFTWARE cont After the file has downloaded a Verify bar will appear. During the Verify process the Hardware key will flash ORANGE and RED Leds. 20
USING THE SOFTWARE cont After the Verify bar has completed, if SUCCESS is displayed in the Operation Result then the Eeprom has been re-programmed. Exit the programme and disconnect the appliance from the mains supply (Evo 1-10 secs and reset)(evo 2-30 secs) then launch the relevant Washing Machine Doctor programme to run appliance tests (Wet Laundry Only). Refer to the correct Washing Machine Doctor User Guide for more information. 21
PROGRAMMING / FITTING BLANK EEPROMS For Evo1 appliances re-connect to the mains supply after ensuring the appliance is in a reset position. You have 20 seconds to press the Download button before the appliance detects an error. Even if an error appears, press the Download button and when Success is displayed in Eeprom Writer, the timer will stop turning and the pump will stop. The error may still show on the Hardware Key and the Console LEDs still flash. Disconnect from the mains supply for ten seconds and test using the relevant Wash Doctor programme (Wet Laundry Only). For Evo 2 appliances press the Download button even if an error is showing. When Success is displayed in Eeprom Writer, the error may still show on the display (where fitted), on the Hardware Key, or the Console LEDs may flash. Disconnect from the mains supply for 30 seconds and test with the relevant Wash Doctor programme (Wet Laundry Only). 22
ERRORS 1. Check Appliance in Target Settings is correct. 2. Check connection of the Hardware Key to Emit and Hardware Key to appliance. 23
ERRORS Check the file size in the Eep Size' box 24
ERRORS If EEPROM WRITE ERROR or EEPROM READ ERROR appears in the Operation result box, check ALL settings of the programme, connection of the appliance, Emit, Power board fitting and if using a blank Eeprom, ensure it has been fitted correctly to the Power board. 25
ERRORS If the INVALID KEY FORMAT box appears, ignore and click OK. If the programme does not continue check all connections and settings 26
ERRORS The most common reason for this fault is shown below: When booting up the Emit unit the USB cable is inserted before the Windows System is fully operational on the unit. Remove the cable and re-insert for it to be detected. 27
ERRORS If during the writing process the software freezes or the appliance will not respond the following action should be taken: EVO 1 APPLIANCES Switch off and unplug from the power supply for 10 seconds, reset the machine, wait 10 seconds and re-start the process. EVO 2 & V4 APPLIANCES Switch off and unplug from the power supply for 30 seconds and re-start the process. It is important to select the correct appliance type and Eeprom file. If you cannot find the file via the search methods then contact your Helpdesk. If you interrupt or switch off the programming of an Eeprom disconnect the appliance from the mains supply then restart the Eeprom Write Programmer and completely reprogramme the Eeprom again. It is essential to disconnect the appliance from the mains supply immediately after programming of the Eeprom is completed. This is to ensure the correct appliance information is displayed by the relevant Wash Doctor 1 or 2 programme when you carry out a function test. For Tumble Dryers it is essential to disconnect the appliance from the mains supply after programming and before carrying out manual functional tests. Remember: ALL settings and connections need to be checked carefully if a problem appears. 28
ERRORS Cont. Comm Port Closed This can appear after first installing USB drivers or when first connecting the USB cable when opening the software - Removing the cable and then reconnecting it normally overcomes this issue. Communication Error Normally due to a mismatch of the Comm Port setting of the software compared with the computer being used - Ensure USB lead is plugged into correct socket and correct version of Wash Doctor is being used. Invalid Key Format Random error message which generally can be ignored by pressing OK - Recheck all settings for the type of Eeprom / appliance being tested/ programmed. If using Part Number search enter UK before Hotpoint style part numbers. Impossible to read key Bad connection of key or cable between appliance and computer. Check connections. Size of target is smaller than file size Wrong size setting of Eeprom type. Change setting in EEP SIZE BOX to 8KB. EEPROM READ or EEPROM WRITE ERROR Software cannot talk to the Eeprom. Check all settings, connection of the power module and orientation of Eeprom in power board, reset Appliance settings and try again. Wrong information displayed in Washing Machine Doctor Ensure appliance is disconnected from the mains supply for the correct time period after reprogramming an Eeprom before using WMD for diagnostics. Ensure correct file was downloaded to Eeprom. Search Key Not Found Enter serial number for machine in S/N field where applicable. Not Possible to do the checksum Random error on Wash Doctor I and also means that the software cannot match the type of file or Eeprom to the version of programme being used Check ALL settings 29
