Compressor Fault or Continuous Operation
The compressor has been running for an abnormally long period. This could be due to a refrigerant leak, a sealed system restriction, or a faulty compressor.
This error typically requires a certified technician to diagnose and repair the sealed refrigeration system.
Defrost Heater System Fault
The defrost heater element or the thermal fuse has failed, leading to ice buildup on the evaporator coils.
Requires manually defrosting the unit and testing the defrost heater and thermal fuse for continuity. Replace the faulty component.
Daewoo E1: Water inlet / filling timeout in Dishwasher; appliance fails to fill to minimum operational level.
The dishwasher has failed to fill with the required amount of water within the programmed time.
Check that the water supply tap is open. Inspect the inlet hose for kinks. Clean the filter screen on the water inlet valve.
Daewoo E2: Water level pressure sensor/switch frequency anomaly detected in Washing Machine.
The water level sensor (pressure switch) is malfunctioning, or the water inlet valve is stuck open.
Unplug the appliance and shut off the water supply. Check the pressure switch hose for blockages or disconnection. Inspect the water inlet valve.
Daewoo E3: NTC temperature sensor signal out of range (open or short circuit) in Dishwasher.
The dishwasher is unable to heat the water to the target temperature in the allotted time. The heating element or thermistor is likely faulty.
Inspect and test the heating element and the temperature sensor (NTC/thermistor). Replace the faulty component.
Overflow or Leak Detected
The anti-flood switch in the base of the dishwasher has been activated by water, indicating a leak or an overfill situation.
Unplug the dishwasher and check for leaks. Inspect the drain hose, door seal, and internal components. Tilt the machine to drain water from the base and reset the float switch.
Daewoo E8: Motor drive or inverter rotation anomaly in Washing Machine; drum/motor fails to spin at target RPM.
A fault has been detected with the drive motor. This could be due to a motor failure, a faulty hall sensor, or a wiring issue.
Inspect the motor, its wiring harness, and connections to the main control board. The motor may need replacement.
Daewoo E9: Water level pressure sensor/switch frequency anomaly detected in Washing Machine.
The water level sensor (pressure switch) is providing an out-of-range reading to the control board.
Check the wiring to the pressure sensor. Inspect the air tube connecting the sensor to the drum for kinks or blockages. The sensor may be faulty.
Daewoo F1: NTC temperature sensor signal out of range (open or short circuit) in Refrigerator / Freezer.
The temperature sensor in the freezer compartment is faulty (either open or short-circuited).
The freezer sensor needs to be tested with a multimeter for correct resistance. If faulty, it must be replaced.
Daewoo F3: Cooling circuit or defrost system anomaly in Refrigerator / Freezer; compartment temperature deviation.
The defrost system sensor located on the evaporator is malfunctioning, preventing the defrost cycle from working correctly.
Locate and test the defrost sensor for continuity and proper resistance. Replace the sensor if it is out of specification.
Daewoo H6: Water/air heating failure in Washing Machine; heating circuit does not reach set temperature.
The water heating element has failed or there is a problem with its wiring. The water is not heating.
Test the heating element for continuity using a multimeter. Check the wiring between the element and the control board. Replace the heater if faulty.
Inlet Error - Water not entering
The water supply is turned off, the inlet hose is kinked or blocked, or the water inlet valve filter is clogged.
Ensure the water tap is fully open. Straighten the inlet hose. Clean the filter inside the water inlet valve connection.
Daewoo LE: Door lock safety interlock fault in Washing Machine; door switch contact fails to close or open.
The washing machine door is not closed and locked properly, or the door lock mechanism has failed.
Close the door firmly until it clicks. If the error persists, check the door lock switch and wiring for faults.
Outlet Error - Water not draining
The drain hose is kinked, frozen, or clogged. The drain pump filter is blocked with debris.
Check and clear the drain hose. Clean the drain pump filter located at the bottom front of the machine.
Daewoo PFE: Water drainage failure detected in Washing Machine; drain pump cannot evacuate water within safety time limit.
Indicates a severely blocked pump filter, which is a more specific version of the 'OE' error.
Unplug the machine. Locate the small door at the bottom front, open it, and carefully unscrew the filter to drain remaining water and clean out any debris.
Refrigerator Sensor Fault
The temperature sensor in the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment is faulty.
Test the resistance of the refrigerator compartment sensor. If the reading is incorrect, the sensor needs to be replaced.
Daewoo UE: Door lock safety interlock fault in Washing Machine; door switch contact fails to close or open.
The laundry is gathered to one side of the drum, causing an imbalance during the spin cycle.
Open the door and redistribute the laundry evenly inside the drum. Remove or add items to balance the load.
