Ethernet on Mod Sine Wave [RE-wrenches]

[Ray Walters]

<x-flowed>

We had a customer we upgraded from an old Trace U series to an Outback. 
His old Staber washer wouldn't run unless other loads were on. Seems 
that some weird feed back was occurring when just the Staber and Outback 
were on. I didn't get the full report, but somehow the Staber 
electronics were tricking the Outback to think its voltage output was 
out of spec. A 50mF Cap cured the problem. I've also got another 
customer who can't run a Frigidaire front loader on SWs. It gets stuck 
on the Spin cycle I believe, so they have to run a generator when they 
wash. I didn't do any of the original work, so I haven't tried fixing 
that one. Maybe a cap would cure that too. Then I had a couple of 
Stabers that kept cooking control boards one on a DR, and one on a SW+.
Meanwhile I've got folks running old top loaders on DRs for over 10 
years no problems.
Hey I've even had trouble with a front loading washer on dirty grid 
power! (smoked control board after 4 months) Those VSD controls are 
delicate.
