# UniMac E do: the control saw the door open while locked

E do ends the cycle and needs a power-down to clear.

## What E do actually means.

E do ends the cycle and needs a power-down to clear. UniMac names pulling on the door during locking as the usual cause and asks for the locking system to be corrected when it happens without that.

UniMac commercial appliance display · also shown as E dO

What to do when E do shows on the commercial appliance

### Kind of code Controls and power

The controller itself is reporting trouble, or the supply behind it is: a display with dead segments, a keypad that stopped responding after steam or degreaser got behind it, relays that stick, stored recipes or cycles that vanished overnight, a blown control fuse, or one leg of a three-phase feed missing so half the heat or the pump is gone. A full power cycle at the breaker, done as the manual describes, clears a passing glitch; a code that returns, a scorched smell or any sign of moisture behind the panel means the breaker stays off, and that is a visit.

### Usually leads to Commercial controls and board repair

Controllers, touch panels, relays, contactors and interlocks tested, and replaced only when the evidence says so.

### Shows up as Commercial Appliance Error Code on a Combi, Fryer, Dish Machine or Laundry Display

A commercial appliance error code appears as letters or numbers on a combi, fryer, reach-in controller, dish machine or laundry machine display, or as a flashing light or an alarm tone.

### Make UniMac

UniMac equipment in a facility laundry room is usually serviced after the heaviest morning loads are out.

### Source UniMac UW-series washer-extractor control manual F8552201R2 (Alliance Laundry Systems, 2017)

UniMac UW-series hardmount extractors of 45 to 130 lb (UWH, UWL, UWN and UWU models) with the keypad control in manual F8552201. Current UW models sold with UniLinc Touch show plain-word messages instead of these codes.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from UniMac's own guidance for E do on its commercial appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Remind staff not to pull the handle after pressing start.

02

Power the machine down to clear E do and restart the load.

03

If E do returns with nobody touching the door, book a visit to check the lock and door switch.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [commercial controls and board repair](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/services/commercial-controls-and-board-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

E do is not the plain door message, which only asks for the door to be shut before starting. It also differs from E dL, where the lock does not respond at all.

## What you may notice with it.

The commercial appliance problem E do tends to arrive with. Answer these at the commercial appliance before anyone is booked.

## Questions about E do.

### Can I clear E do myself?

Remind staff not to pull the handle after pressing start. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Why does E do show up after staff changes on a UniMac?

New staff often pull the door to check it is closed just after starting, which trips the code.

### Does E do lose the wash on a UniMac?

The cycle ends, so the load has to be started again after powering down.

### What part fails when E do keeps returning on a UniMac?

The door lock assembly or its switch, which a technician tests with the panels open.
