Most Common Codes
Error Codes | Solution |
---|---|
F1 | Temperature stop fault. The temperature rise is less than 5°C in ten minutes. Check: Element, thermistor, water level, circulation pump and control unit, wiring. |
F2 | Overfilling. Too much water in the machine (pressure sensor) or float activated. Check: Drain pump (blockage in hoses), flow sensor, inlet valve, leakage, wiring. |
F3 | Thermistor fault. Interruption or >80°C. The programme exits from the heating stage and continues in the process. Indication only in the service menu. Check: Thermistor, control unit. |
F4 | Water intake fault. < 80 pulses within 60 seconds or correct number of pulses is not achieved within 255 seconds. Programme interrupted. Check: Water supply, flow sensor, inlet valve, wiring. |
F5 | Valve leakage. > 80 pulses detected when the inlet valve is deactivated. Certain models attempt to remedy the leak first. Any programme in progress is interrupted (drain pump activated). Check: Leakage through inlet valve, flow sensor. |
F6 | Pressure sensor fault. Output signal > 4.8V. The programme continues. Indication only in the service menu. Check: Pressure sensor, control unit and wiring. |
F7 | Pumping out fault. Water not evacuated after 120 seconds’ pumping out. Programme interrupted. Check: Drain pump, hoses, installation of drain hose, control unit and wiring. |
F8 | Blocked filter. The pressure sensor senses excessively low pressure during the final rinse. Indication after end of programme. Check: Filter, sump (pressure chamber), pressure sensor. |
F9 | Circulation fault. The pressure sensor senses excessively low pressure (e.g. no water in the machine) or excessively high pressure (e.g. the circulation pump is defective). Check: Circulation pump, filter, water level, pressure chamber and pressure sensor. |
F10 | Overfilling. Check Drain pump (blocked hose), flow meter, inlet valve, leaks and cables. |
F11 | Water outlet fault. Check Drain pump, hoses, drain hose fittings, control unit and cables. Also check whether filter is blocked. |
F12 | Water inlet fault. Check Water inlet, flow meter, inlet valve and cables. |
F40 | Inlet valve leakage. Check Leak through inlet valve and flow meter |
F41 | Temp stop fault. Check Element, thermistor, water level, circulation pump, control unit and cables. |
F42 | Thermistor fault. Check Thermistor, plugs, wire harness, and control unit. |
F43 | Pressure sensor fault. Check Pressure sensor, control unit and cables. |
F44 | Turbidity sensor fault. Check Water quality, filters, turbidity sensor and drain system. |
F45 | Spray arm diverter fault. Check Spray arm diverter (functioning gearbox, switches and cables). |
F52 | Water level fault |
F54 | Overfilling water 2. Turn off the water supply valve. |
F56 | Circ. pump fault. |
FA | Turbidity sensor fault. Indication only in the service menu. The machine assumes high turbidity for “choice of route” in the automatic programme. Check: Water quality, filter, turbidity sensor, drain system. |
FB | Spray arm divider fault. Position contact is continuously closed or open. The programme proceeds. Indication only in the service menu. Check: Spray arm divider (function of gearbox, contacts and wiring). |
L6 | Rinse aid indication |
L7 | Door open/Close door |
Close the door | The door is open. Close the door. |
Temp stop fault | Temperature increase less than 5°C (41°F) in ten minutes. Program continues with the process. Only indicated in service menu. |
Overfilling | Overfilling. Too much water in the machine (pressure sensor) or float activated. If the water has not been emptied within 60 seconds, the program stops (drain pump activated). |
Thermistor fault | Communication between the thermistor and control unit has stopped or the thermistor is reporting temperatures greater than 80°C (176°F). Program continues with the process. Only indicated in service menu. |
Water inlet fault | < 80 pulses within 60 seconds or correct number of pulses not achieved within 255 seconds. Program stops. |
Inlet valve leakage | Water intake detected when inlet valve deactivated in program sequence or standby. In this case the machine attempts to close the valve by opening it for 2 seconds and then closing it again. If water flow through the valve is still detected any current program is stopped (drain pump activated). |
Pressure sensor fault | Output signal > 4.8 V. The program continues. Only indicated in service menu. |
Water outlet fault | Water not drained after 120 seconds draining. Program stops. |
Turbidity sensor fault | Only indicated in service menu. The machine assumes high turbidity in case of “uncertainty” in the auto program. |
Diverter fault | Position switch always closed or open. The program continues. Only indicated in service menu. |
Humidity sensor fault | “Humidity sensor fault” (only in service menu) Check Humidity sensor, cables, fan, damper and Wax motor. |
