15 fault codes documented
F01 - Motor circuit issue
This error indicates a short circuit in the motor control component (triac). This can prevent the motor from operating correctly and may be linked to internal motor or module problems.
F02 - Motor jammed or speed sensor issue
This error suggests that the motor might be obstructed, preventing it from turning, or that its speed sensor (tacho) is not connected or working correctly. The drum may not rotate.
F03 - Temperature sensor circuit fault
This indicates an issue with the NTC thermistor, which measures the water temperature. It might be a short circuit or an open circuit, leading to incorrect temperature readings.
F04 - Water level sensor stuck on empty
This error means the pressure switch, which detects the water level, is reporting that the tub is empty, even if there might be water present, or there's a fault with the switch itself.
F05 - Water level sensor stuck on full or drain pump blocked
This error suggests that the pressure switch is reporting the machine is full, potentially due to a blocked drain pump or a faulty switch. The machine may not drain water properly.
F07 - Heater relay stuck on
This error indicates that the relay controlling the heating element is continuously 'on,' which can lead to overheating or other heating issues. The machine may not heat correctly or could overheat.
F08 - Heater relay stuck on or pressure switch issue
This error indicates a heater relay stuck on, similar to F07, but also points to a possible issue with the pressure switch. This can lead to improper heating or water level detection.
F09 - Control board setup error
This error indicates a problem with the electronic setup or memory (Eeprom) of the machine's main control board. This can prevent the machine from starting or operating correctly.
F10 - Water level sensor not detecting water
This error means the pressure switch is not able to detect any water level changes, which can prevent the machine from filling or progressing through its cycle.
F11 - Drain pump not working
This error indicates that the machine is unable to activate the drain pump, which means water cannot be removed from the drum. This will prevent the machine from completing its cycle.
F12 - Control boards not communicating
This error indicates a loss of communication between the main electronic control boards within the appliance. This can prevent any functions from working or the machine from starting.
F17 - Door lock malfunction
This error indicates a problem with the door locking mechanism, preventing the door from locking or unlocking correctly. The machine will not start if the door isn't securely locked.
F18 - Communication error with 3-phase motor control
This error specifically indicates a communication problem related to the control system for a 3-phase motor. This often points to an issue with the power board.
Flashing DOOR indicator and repeated beeping - Door not closed properly
If the door is not closed securely prior to starting a program, the door lock will make approximately 5 'clunk' noises, and the display will show a flashing 'DOOR' message, accompanied by an audible beep every 5 seconds.
Option button LED flashes and beeps - Option not available
When you try to select an option that is not compatible with the currently chosen wash program, the LED on the option button will flash, and you will hear a bleeping noise. This indicates an invalid selection.
