Washer Fault Codes
|
| Failure Code |
Condition |
Check/Repair |
| "IE" |
Water inlet error. Cause : Correct water level (246) is not reached within 8 minutes after water is supplied or it does not reach the preset water level within 25 minutes |
Ensure your taps supplying the washing machine are turned on. |
| "UE" |
Imbalance error. Cause : The load is to small, the appliance is tilted, laundry is gathered to one side, non distributed things are put into the drum. |
Move the washing around inside the washing machine to create a more
even distribution of weight |
| "OE" |
Drain error. Cause: not fully drained within 10 minutes |
Check there isn't a kink in your drain hose, ensure the filter is clean,
the drain hose can become clogged with sludge, sometimes a hot wash with
1/2 a cup of vinegar will remove this sludge |
| "FE" |
Over flow error. Cause: water is overflowing (water level frequency is over (213) When FE is diplayed the drain will pump out automatically. |
|
| |
|
|
| "PE" |
Pressure sensor error. Cause: the sensor switch assembly is out of order. |
|
| "dE" |
Door open error. Cause: door not all the way closed, loose electrical connections at door switch and pwb assembly.The door switch assembly is out of order. Gasket on door maybe creased in. |
Try opening and closing the door, sheck to see the gasket isn't jamming |
| "[-E" |
Heating error. Cause: the thermistor is out of order. |
|
| CE |
Over current error. Cause: Main PWB assembly is out of order, Winding in the stator assembly is short circuited. |
|
| LE |
Locked motor error. Cause: The connector (3-pin), male,white) in the motor harness is not connected to the connector. (3-pin,female,white) of stator assembly. Or the electrical contact between the connectors. (3-pin,male,white) in the motor harness and 4-pin,female,white connector in the main PWB assembly is bad or unstable. Or the motor harness between the stator assembly and main PWB assembly is cut (open circuit) Or the hall sensor is out of order/defective. |
|
| bE |
Ball sensor error. Cause : Loose ball sensor connector,ball is out of order. This is displayed only when the start / pause button is first pressed in the OC test mode. |
|
| EE |
(EEprom error) Cause: EEprom is out order. Displayed only when the start / pause button is first pressed in the OC test mode. |
|
| PF |
Power failure. Cause : the washer experienced a power failure. |
|

is displayed a potential suds lock is detected. This may
signify a bad pump, an extra heavy load, excessive detergent,
or excessive suds.

"PF" |
Power Failure
|
"PF" flashes
if the washer loses power during a running cycle. The washer
does not flash "PF" when it is first plugged
in.
Press START to continue the cycle from the moment that power
was lost
-OR-
Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display and completely cancel
the cycle.
|
|
"FL" |
Flood Condition
|
"FL" flashes
if any overfill condition occurs. This condition occurs
when excessive water in the tub causes the overfill switch
to trip. The control must realize that the trip was due
to an overfill condition instead of a suds lack condition
in order for "FL" to be displayed
With an overfill condition, the beeper repeats a warning
every 10 seconds with no time-out. The pump is cycled in
drain mode for 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off until the overfill
switch resets or power is discontinued to the unit.
Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display.

"Er" |
Processor
Reset Error
|
This error
code is displayed if the control failed to save cycle information
during a power failure. This does not generate an error
code beep.
Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display.

"LF" |
Long Fill
|
If the water
fill time exceeds ten minutes, the water valves are turned
off and "LF" is flashed.
Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display.
|
|
"CE" |
Communications
Error
|
If there is
any breakdown in communication between the machine controller
and the motor controller, "CE" flashes and the unit beeps
once.
Some common causes of "CE" errors include:
·Conformal coating on serial
communications pins between the machine controller and motor
controller. After disconnecting power to the unit, try scraping
this coating off the pins.
· Check the resistance values
between the serial communications pins with the connectors
in place. Make sure the harness does not have a bad connection.
· Check the quick disconnect
at the motor terminal. The drive motor must be hooked up
properly or a "CE" error will occur.
· Drive motor thermal protector
has opened.
·Motor controller is not powered
or fuse has opened. Replace motor controller.
Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display.

"Ld" flashes
if it takes longer than 5 minutes to pump out water to
a point where the operating pressure switch resets.
Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display.
|
"CA"
"Cl"
|
Average current
limit Or
Instantaneous current limit
|
If a status
signal comes back from the motor controller that a current
limit has been breached, the unit will return to standby
mode and display either "CA" for average current limit
trip or "Cl" for instantaneous current limit trip.
Average current trip occurs if there is a 2 second average
of current draw greater than 5.55 amps at the motor windings.
Instantaneous current trip occurs if there is a spike of
26 amps instantly at the motor windings.
This may signify problems with the drive motor, thermal
protector, or motor controller. Over-loading the unit may
cause this problem.
Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display
|
|
"ob" |
Off Balance
|
If the motor
controller detects an unrecoverable off-balance condition,
the machine controller will shut down and display an "ob"
for Off Balance
The lid switch must be opened at least once before restarting
the cycle, if this condition occurs. Opening the lid will
allow the customer to view and redistribute the load.
Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display.
|
|
"Sr"
|
Stuck Relay
|
"Sr" signifies
a failure of the relay in the closed position. With this
failure, power to the motor controller cannot be turned
off by the machine controller.
The machine control board may have a bad relay and may need
to be replaced. Check pins 1 and 5 of P16 of the machine
controller and pins 1 and 2 of P1 of the motor controller.
This should have AC line voltage when the motor controller
is powered.
Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display.
|
|
"LS" |
Lid Switch
Error
|
The control
should flash this error code if it cannot detect the lid
switch opening and closing properly. This error code may
also be used if there is a disagreement between the motor
and machine controllers on the stat if the lid switch. The
control should not allow the unit to run in this condition.
This code will also appear if the user presses the START
key while the lid is open.
Open the lid or press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display.
