  • Edge connector: 24-pin or 32-pin for connection to display panel and user interface.
  • Water-resistant connector housings with silicone gaskets where wire harnesses enter.

Working Principle:
The MCU executes the appliance firmware stored in SPI flash memory. On power-up, it performs a self-test (POST) checking all sensor inputs and output drivers. It reads the selected program from the user interface, then enters the main control loop:

  1. Fill phase: Activates water inlet valve(s) via triac/relay; monitors water level via pressure switch.
  2. Wash phase: Drives motor at programmed speed; activates heater to target temperature via PID control using NTC feedback.
  3. Rinse phase: Drains via pump relay; refills with fresh water.
  4. Spin phase: Increases motor speed to maximum RPM; monitors imbalance via tachometer.
  5. End of cycle: Deactivates all outputs; stores completion status and any fault codes in EEPROM.

The I²C bus communicates with the display module to show time, program status, and error codes. The UART port allows a service technician to connect a diagnostic tool for firmware update and fault reading.

Advantages & Highlights:

  • Integrated design — all control functions on a single board, reducing wiring complexity.
  • EEPROM fault logging enables accurate diagnosis without oscilloscope.
  • Conformal coating protects against humidity, detergent splash, and dust.
  • ENIG finish ensures reliable solder joints and long-term corrosion resistance.
  • Firmware-upgradable via service UART or I²C bootloader.

Applicable Industries / Use Cases:

  • AEG/Electrolux washing machine and dishwasher manufacturing (OEM)
  • Appliance repair and aftermarket parts supply
  • Electronics contract manufacturing (PCBA)

Compatible Machine Models (Partial List):

  • AEG L6 series washing machines
  • AEG F5 series dishwashers
  • Electrolux EWF, EWT series washing machines

Installation Requirements:

  • Install in the designated PCB mounting location inside the appliance chassis.
  • Connect all wire harnesses to the correct connectors per the wiring diagram — do not force connectors.
  • Secure the board with 4× M3 × 8 mm screws into the chassis standoffs.
  • Ensure all connector locks are fully engaged before closing the appliance.
  • Perform a full functional test cycle after installation.

Usage Precautions:

  • Handle the PCB by its edges only — avoid touching component pads or IC pins.
  • Use an ESD wrist strap and grounded work surface during installation.
  • Do not expose the board to temperatures above +85°C during storage or operation.
  • Verify the firmware version matches the appliance model before installation; reflash using AEG Service Tool if needed.
  • If the board is replaced, perform a reset procedure (typically disconnect power for 5 minutes) to clear residual fault codes.
  • Store in an anti-static bag at 15–35°C, < 60% RH.
