Firmware 1.52 and 1.53 in WTM & RTC/WTC
Subject
Model
Whole Modular Rack Type range (Electrolux WTM series) and Compact Rack
Type range (Zanussi RTC series and Electrolux WTC series)
Reason
New features and new procedures to avoid alarms 72, 73 and 78.
Action in
Factory
Since serial number 71300001 we have introduced the firmware release 1.52
in User Interface 0L1285 and MEC board 0L1284 for WTM and the firmware
release 1.53 in User Interface 0L1196 and MEC board 0L1291 for RTC/WTC
(spare part codes are not changed).
The new firmware has new features/procedures as listed here below.
Most of them can be implemented just replacing the Master board (either
User Interface in WTM or MEC board in RTC/WTC). Remaining ones can be
implemented only replacing both Master board and Slave boards.

Dryer temperature cool-down procedure (to avoid alarms 72 and 73)
• the fan works even when machine switches from ready/wash to warm-
up;
• the fan works for 1 minute after switching-off (by control panel) if the
dryer temperature is over 60°C. Then it stops automatically;
• the alarm 72 appears only if the dryer temperature is over 80°C for 2
minutes while the fan is working
Alarm 72 and 73 may still appear if the machine is off/on by the main
switch instead of control panel because in that case the fan motor has to
stop working straight after switching-off if (for safety reasons).
See “Action in Field” below for more details about the “DT fan delay” /
“AFd” parameter and the cool-down procedure.

The new firmware 1.52 for Modular Rack Type (Electrolux WTM series) and
1.53 for Compact Rack Type (Zanussi RTC series and Electrolux WTC series)
is compatible towards previous firmware versions from 1.40 onwards.
See Service Manual – edition 02.2007 for more details about new
features and new parameters.

About alarms 72 and 73, the “DT fan delay” / “AFd” parameter we introduced from firmware
release 1.24 onwards does NOT affect the new cool-down procedure.
The “DT fan delay” / “AFd” sets how long the fan motor works after that dryer heater stops
working when the machine is on:
In any case, both dryer fan delay function and new cool-down procedure above can be
implemented in early production dryers just moving the cable from X6:7 to X6:5 so that the
relay RL5 for the dryer fan is connected 24V to the transformer, at the end of safety devices
chain (this change has been introduced in corner dryer since serial number 61800001 and
remaining dryer tunnels since serial number 64600001):
