Merker CF: Operational cycle fault detected during Refrigerator / Freezer program execution.
Communication between the main control board and the user interface display board has been lost.
Check the wiring harness connecting the two control boards for loose or damaged connections. If wiring is secure, one of the boards is likely faulty.
Refrigerator Sensor Fault
The main control board has detected an issue with the fresh food compartment's temperature sensor (thermistor).
Inspect the sensor wiring for damage. Test the sensor's resistance and replace it if it's out of the specified range for the current temperature.
Merker E2: NTC temperature sensor signal out of range (open or short circuit) in Refrigerator / Freezer.
The main control board has detected an issue with the freezer compartment's temperature sensor (thermistor).
Inspect the sensor wiring for breaks or loose connections. Test the sensor's resistance and replace it if faulty.
Merker E4: Cooling circuit or defrost system anomaly in Refrigerator / Freezer; compartment temperature deviation.
The freezer's automatic defrost system has malfunctioned. This could be due to a faulty defrost heater, defrost terminator (bi-metal), or defrost sensor.
Manually defrost the freezer. Test the continuity of the defrost heater and terminator. Check the defrost sensor for correct resistance.
Merker E9: Motor drive or inverter rotation anomaly in Refrigerator / Freezer; drum/motor fails to spin at target RPM.
An error has been detected with the ice maker, such as a failure to cycle, a motor jam, or a faulty sensor within the ice maker assembly.
Check for any ice blockages in the ice maker. Ensure the water line is not frozen. Reset the ice maker. If the issue continues, the ice maker assembly may need replacement.
Stuck Button on Control Panel
A button on the oven's user interface has been pressed continuously for longer than one minute.
Check for any stuck buttons on the control panel. Clean the panel to ensure no debris is causing a button to stick. If the problem persists, the control panel may need to be replaced.
Merker F01: Water inlet / filling timeout in Washing Machine; appliance fails to fill to minimum operational level.
The machine has failed to fill with water in the allotted time. This could be due to a closed water tap, a kinked inlet hose, or a faulty water inlet valve.
Ensure water supply is on. Check inlet hose for kinks. Test the water inlet valve and replace if necessary.
Merker F02: Water drainage failure detected in Washing Machine; drain pump cannot evacuate water within safety time limit.
The machine is unable to drain water. The drain filter may be clogged, the drain pump could be faulty, or the drain hose is blocked or kinked.
Clean the drain pump filter. Check drain hose for obstructions. Inspect and test the drain pump.
Temperature Sensor (NTC) Fault
The washing machine's control board has detected a fault with the water temperature sensor (NTC). The sensor may be open or short-circuited.
Check the wiring to the NTC sensor. Test the sensor's resistance with a multimeter and replace it if out of specification.
Merker F08: Water/air heating failure in Washing Machine; heating circuit does not reach set temperature.
The water is not heating. This indicates a problem with the heating element or the control relay for the heater on the main board.
Test the heating element for continuity. Check wiring and the heater relay on the main control board.
Oven cavity runaway over-temperature fault detected.
Oven temperature exceeded the safety threshold due to a welded heater relay on the power board or a short-circuited PT1000/NTC oven temperature probe.
Disconnect power immediately. Check the oven temperature sensor (thermistor) for a short circuit. If the sensor is good, the main control board likely needs replacement.
Open circuit detected on the oven cavity temperature probe (thermistor).
The electronic control unit receives no signal from the oven temperature sensor due to a broken harness wire, oxidized connector, or open PT1000/NTC probe (nominal: ~1080Ω at 20°C).
Check the wiring between the sensor and the control board. Test the resistance of the sensor; it should be around 1100 ohms at room temperature. Replace if faulty.
Merker F80: Motor drive or inverter rotation anomaly in Oven / Microwave; drum/motor fails to spin at target RPM.
The oven door lock mechanism is not engaging or disengaging correctly. This could be a mechanical jam or a faulty microswitch in the lock assembly.
Check for any obstructions in the door lock path. Test the door lock motor and switches for proper operation.
Merker H: NTC temperature sensor signal out of range (open or short circuit) in Dishwasher.
The dishwasher is not heating the water. This is likely due to a faulty heating element or a problem with the temperature sensor.
Disconnect power and test the heating element and high-limit thermostat for continuity. Check wiring connections to the heater.
Merker I20: Water drainage failure detected in Dishwasher; drain pump cannot evacuate water within safety time limit.
The dishwasher is not draining water correctly. Filters are blocked, the drain hose is obstructed, or the drain pump is faulty.
Remove and clean all filters in the bottom of the dishwasher. Check the drain hose for kinks or blockages. Inspect the drain pump impeller for debris.
Merker UE: Operational cycle fault detected during Washing Machine program execution.
The load inside the drum is not distributed evenly, preventing the machine from spinning at high speed.
Open the door and redistribute the laundry. Avoid washing single heavy items. If persistent, check suspension legs.
