Remedy:
Check the pump capacitor and replace it if necessary. See Section 050-4.15.
3.15 Fault Code F15: Water Intake Fault - Hot Water
Symptom:
The display reads Intake temperature too low and the status LED flashes
(model-dependent). The program is not interrupted.
Cause:
Intake temperature of the hot-water connection is too cold (below 100°F).
Remedy:
Have the water connection checked by a specialist.
3.16 Fault Code F18: Flow Meter Stationary State Monitor B3/4
Symptom:
The program is interrupted and the drain pump is operated.
Background information: The water inlet valve is open when it should not
be (a signal to open it has not been given by the electronic). Water then flows
into the appliance and unexpected pulses from the flow meter are detected.
Unexpected pulses from the flow meter are also detected when the water
inlet valve is not activated.
Cause:
Water inlet valve defective.
Remedy:
Check the water inlet valve for proper operation (may be stuck in open position).
a. Access the water inlet valve.
b. Start a wash program.
c. Wrap one hand around the inlet valve during the water inlet step. There
should be a vibration, which indicates that the valve is energized.
d. At the end of the water inlet step, the valve should be de-energized. If water
is still entering the machine, replace the water inlet valve (Section 050-4.27)
e. Check for interference pulses. Electrical components within the water
diverter could be interfering with the pulses produced by the flow meter.
Troubleshoot accordingly and replace the water diverter, if necessary
(Section 050-4.12).
3.17 Fault Code F19: Flow Meter B3/4 Stiff and Not Turning Freely
Symptom:
The program is interrupted and the drain pump is operated.
Background information: Satisfactory test routines to monitor free rotation
of the flow meter impeller could not be established.
