FAULT CODES
In the event of a fault being detected by the electronics, a code will appear in the LCD display.
These are listed in the following table.
• Components with a low resistance to Earth may cause erroneous faults or loss of the display.
• Always check relevant wiring and connector blocks security before replacing the modules.
NOTE: - All automatic programmes; there is no heat during the first 3 minutes. The first 10 minutes
of all automatic cycles is used to calculate the drying time.
ONE-SHOT STAT OPERATION
If the 1 shot thermostat operates and opens, the machine will continue with the cycle with no
heat. A fault code will not be displayed.
FAULT CODES & POSSIBLE CAUSES - LCD Display Models only
FAULT Cause Control Action
F01 The motor is running
when it should be off.
• Check if module connector J3 has shorted due to moisture.
• Replace module.
F02 Open circuit between
module and motor
Common.
• Check security of module connector J3;
•
Test motor Common (TOC);
•
Check wiring between J3 and motor.
F03 Front thermistor open or
short circuit.
• Check security of module connector J12;
•
Test from connector pins (approximately 500 Kohms);
•
If open or short circuit, test thermistor and wiring between
thermistor and J12 to locate fault.
F04 Pump working when
should be off.
• Check security of module connector J5;
• Check connector for signs of shorting due to moisture;
• Replace module (F04 would normally be caused by a faulty
module).
F05 Pump is not working
when it should be on.
• Check security of module connector J5;
• Check connector for signs of shorting due to moisture;
• Replace module (F05 would normally be caused by a faulty
module).
F06 Not used.
----
F07 Lower element failure
• Check security of module connector J4;
• Test between pins 4 and 3 on J4 (approximately 48 Ohms);
• If open circuit, test lower element and wiring between J4 and
the heater.
F08 Lower element is ener-
gized when it should be
off.
• Check security of module connector J4;
• Check connector for signs of shorting due to moisture;
• Test heater elements and wiring;
• Replace module (F08 would normally be caused by a faulty
module).
F09 Error Set Up File. Eeprom
is either not programmed
or is not functioning.
• If the module is a production board, replace the module;
• If the module has an Eeprom socket, check the eeprom is
correctly inserted and programmed.
