Codes with Kandy washing machine decoding errors and how to fix them
Most modern washing machines are equipped with special displays on which error codes appear. They appear on the screen in the event of a device malfunction. Most often, Kandy washing machines have an E03 error. However, there are other codes that you need to know in advance.
Major errors
To find out the exact cause of a washing machine malfunction, you need to familiarize yourself with a detailed description of the main errors.
For models with display
On the front panel of modern models of washing machines, special displays are installed, on which codes containing errors can be displayed.
E01
If the display shows "E01", it means that the door lock has been activated. In this case, the tank door may not be locked. There are several reasons for the appearance of such a malfunction. It appears due to a failure of an electronic controller or a blocker.
E02
This inscription indicates that there is a problem with filling the tank with water. The following issues may occur:
- no liquid enters the tank;
- the amount of water does not reach the required level;
- Too much water is sucked into the tank.
Such problems arise when the valves responsible for filling fluid malfunction.
Also, a malfunction appears when the electrical controller fails.
E03
Such a code signals that water has been pumped out of the system for too long. It should not mix for more than three minutes. The error code appears after a breakdown of the drain pump or damage to the connected pipes. Sometimes water is drained slower due to a clogged drain.
E04
The inscription may appear when the tank is overfilled due to the fact that there is too much water inside. Overfilling occurs due to a failure of the fill valve or controller that regulates the amount of fluid inside the tank.
E05
This code appears on the display if the washing machine cannot heat the water for washing. Problems with heating appear as a result of a breakdown in the temperature sensor, heating element, control panel or motor of the program selector.
E07
The error indicates a rapid engine start. If it starts three times in a row at maximum speed, washing stops and E07 appears on the display. Engine malfunction is associated with a breakdown of the tachometer generator.
E08
Many do not know what this inscription on the screen testifies to. It appears when the shaft speed sensor stops working. This leads to improper engine operation, due to which it can spin strongly.
E09
If the motor shaft suddenly stops rotating, the display will show "E09". This is a common problem that even owners of expensive washing machines face.Shaft rotation problems appear due to the breakdown of the triac or control unit.
E14
All washers are equipped with a heating element, which is responsible for heating the liquid. Sometimes it breaks down and the equipment stops heating water on its own. It is in such cases that this error code appears.
E16
Such an inscription appears when a short circuit appears in the electrical circuit of the heating element. It can burn due to dirt or power surges.
Sometimes a malfunction occurs due to a failure of the control board.
Number of indicator flashes for models without display
Older washing machines don't have a display, but instead use an indicator that can flash a certain number of times.
In this case, the red LED is permanently on and does not start flashing. Such a signal indicates that a malfunction or minor failure has appeared in the control module.
1
Sometimes the light on the front of the washer only flashes once. Such a signal appears if there is a malfunction in the operation of the sunroof lock.
2
Two winks indicate that the tank does not have time to fill with water. The reasons for this may be poor pressure in the water supply system, malfunction of the fill valve.
3
Three signals may appear due to prolonged draining of water from the washing machine. Slow drainage is due to clogged pipes, filters or pump failure.
4
In this case, the leakage protection mechanism is activated. It comes on if the fill valve stops closing.
5
If the indicator flashed five times in a row, it means that the sensor responsible for temperature control is damaged.It can break due to a short circuit or an open circuit.
6
The indicator flashes six times if there is a technical memory error. Also, such a signal may appear due to broken connections in the control module.
7
If the LED on the front panel flashes seven times, it means the drive motor stall has started. Sometimes the signal appears when the hatch terminal is blocked.
8
The indicator flashes eight times when the engine tachometer generator malfunctions. This part fails due to a short circuit or broken wiring.
9
A nine-time flash occurs if the motor drive triac is broken.
12, 13
When the indicator starts flashing twelve or thirteen times, check the connections, because this signal indicates that there is no communication between the indicator and the control module.
14
Such an error occurs if the washing equipment has problems with the control module and its connecting nodes.
15
Sometimes the washing machine does not start and its light flashes fifteen times in a row, this indicates a failure of the control module or its malfunction.
16
The indicator may flash sixteen times if the wiring insulation is damaged or the heating element is shorted.
17
The signal at which the indicator flashes seventeen times appears when the tachometer generator malfunctions. In this case, the part will have to be replaced with a new one.
18
When the light flashes eighteen times in a row, it is necessary to check the status of the control module, as well as the electrical network.
Diagnostic methods
To diagnose the efficiency of the washing machine, a special service test is carried out. To do this, you must:
- clean the machine tank of all clothes and laundry;
- while holding down the button to activate additional functions, turn the program selector to the second position;
- after 5-10 seconds, press "Start".
Repair tips
There are several tips that should be followed when repairing machines.
Does not light
Often owners of washing machines are faced with the fact that they do not turn on.
It is necessary to check whether there is electricity in the house and make sure that the device is plugged into the outlet.
Large amount of foam
Large amounts of foam may form during washing. To solve this problem, you need to check if you have poured hand washing powder into the washing machine.
Water does not flow into the drum
Sometimes the equipment does not receive water. This happens if delayed start mode is enabled.
There is no emptying
Spinning or draining may not start after the program is finished. This can happen due to the use of operating modes in which water does not flow out and things are not wrung out.
LEDs light up randomly
Uneven indicator lighting is a common problem faced by many owners of washing equipment.
To solve the problem, the machine is turned off for 2-4 minutes.
strong vibrations
If vibrations appear during the operation of the equipment, it is necessary to check the surface on which it stands. The machine must be on perfectly flat ground.
When is it worth contacting a specialist
If the washing machine no longer turns on, it is better to contact a specialist. It's not worth doing repairs yourself, especially for people who don't understand technology.
Conclusion
Most people have washing machines.Sometimes this technique stops working properly and generates various errors. It is recommended to familiarize yourself with the description of each of them beforehand in order to find out exactly what the problem is.
