Check for leaks inside the machine. Inspect the pressure switch and its hose for blockages or faults. Check the water inlet valve to ensure it's not stuck open.
Water heating element fault
The dishwasher has detected a problem with the heating circuit. This could be a failed heating element, faulty wiring, or an issue on the control board.
Disconnect power and test the heating element for continuity. Check all wiring and connections to the heater. The control board may be at fault if the element is good.
Ardo E05: NTC temperature sensor signal out of range (open or short circuit) in Washing Machine.
The NTC (temperature sensor) is reporting an open or short circuit. This could be a faulty sensor, wiring issue, or a control board problem.
Test the resistance of the NTC sensor (it should be around 4-6 kOhms at room temperature). Check wiring between the sensor and the board. Replace sensor if faulty.
Ardo E5: Water level pressure sensor/switch frequency anomaly detected in Dishwasher.
The pressure sensor has detected that the water level is too high inside the tub.
Check the water inlet valve to ensure it's not stuck open, letting water in continuously. Inspect the pressure sensor and its tubing for blockages.
Ardo E06: Operational cycle fault detected during Washing Machine program execution.
The main control board has detected an error with the program selection dial or its circuitry.
This often requires professional diagnosis. Check connections to the selector switch. The selector or main board may need replacement.
Temperature probe (NTC) error
The control board has detected an open or short circuit from the NTC temperature sensor.
Test the resistance of the NTC sensor. Inspect its wiring for any breaks or loose connections. Replace the sensor if it is out of specification.
Ardo E07: Motor drive or inverter rotation anomaly in Washing Machine; drum/motor fails to spin at target RPM.
The control board is not receiving a signal from the motor's speed sensor (tacho). The drum may spin briefly at high speed and then stop.
Check the wiring to the motor tacho. Inspect the tacho coil on the motor shaft. The motor or tacho may need to be replaced.
Ardo E7: Water inlet / filling timeout in Dishwasher; appliance fails to fill to minimum operational level.
The flow meter, which measures the amount of water entering the machine, is not sending the correct signals to the control board.
Check the wiring to the flow meter. The flow meter itself may be blocked with scale or have failed and needs replacement.
Motor speed sensor (tacho) fault
The motor's tachometer coil is faulty, the magnet has detached, or there is a wiring issue to the control board.
Check the wiring to the motor's tacho connection. Inspect the tacho coil and magnet on the end of the motor shaft. The motor may require replacement.
Ardo E09: Motor drive or inverter rotation anomaly in Washing Machine; drum/motor fails to spin at target RPM.
An open circuit has been detected in the motor, often related to the motor TRIAC on the control board or the motor itself.
Inspect the motor's carbon brushes for wear. Check wiring and connections at the motor and control board. The motor or control board may be faulty.
Ardo E10: Motor drive or inverter rotation anomaly in Washing Machine; drum/motor fails to spin at target RPM.
The control board detects an issue with the motor's power controller (TRIAC), but not a direct short circuit.
This is a control board level fault. It typically requires the replacement of the main electronic module.
Communication error between boards
On models with separate control and display boards, the communication link has been lost.
Inspect the ribbon cable or wiring harness that connects the two electronic boards for damage or loose connections.
Door lock positioning error
This can be caused by a misaligned door strike or a faulty microswitch within the door interlock assembly.
Check door alignment and the strike plate. Test the microswitches in the door lock. Replace the door lock assembly if faulty.
Main board microprocessor fault
A critical error has occurred with the main processor on the control board. This is a fatal board error.
The main control board (ECU) must be replaced.
Stuck button on touch control
The hob's electronic control has detected that a button on the touch panel has been continuously pressed for an extended period.
Ensure there are no objects on the control panel. Clean the glass surface thoroughly with a suitable cleaner. A spill or moisture can trigger this. If it persists, the touch control unit may be faulty.
Temperature sensor open circuit
The main control board has detected that the oven's temperature sensor (NTC/thermistor) circuit is open, likely due to a broken wire or failed sensor.
Disconnect power. Test the sensor for continuity and correct resistance (check manual for specs). Inspect wiring. Replace sensor if faulty.
Refrigerator compartment sensor fault
The NTC sensor that measures the temperature in the main fridge compartment is faulty (open or short circuit).
Locate the sensor in the fridge section. Test its resistance and check wiring. Replace the sensor if readings are incorrect.
Temperature sensor short circuit
The control board has detected a short circuit in the oven's temperature sensor, causing it to read an impossibly high temperature.
Disconnect power. Inspect sensor wiring for damage or shorting. Test the sensor for very low resistance. Replace the sensor if it has shorted internally.
Refrigerator evaporator sensor fault
The NTC sensor attached to the evaporator coil in the fridge section has failed.
This sensor is usually behind a panel in the back of the fridge. Access and test the sensor and its wiring. Replace if necessary.
Ardo F03: NTC temperature sensor signal out of range (open or short circuit) in Oven / Microwave.
The oven has exceeded a safe maximum temperature. This could be caused by a stuck heating element relay or a faulty temperature sensor giving incorrect readings.
Allow the oven to cool completely. If the error returns immediately on startup, suspect a stuck relay on the power board. If it occurs during heating, check the sensor.
Freezer compartment sensor fault
The main temperature sensor (NTC) in the freezer compartment is reporting an error.
Locate, test, and if necessary, replace the NTC sensor within the freezer section.
