Control board software error
An error has occurred in the software or memory (EEPROM) of the main control board.
Try resetting the appliance by unplugging it for 15 minutes. If the error persists, the control board may need to be reprogrammed or replaced.
Incorrect line voltage detected
The voltage of the power supply is outside the acceptable range (too high or too low).
Reset the appliance by turning off the circuit breaker for 5 minutes. If it persists, contact an electrician to check the power supply.
Communication error between boards
The main control board cannot communicate with the display board.
Check the wiring harness connecting the main control unit to the user interface/display board for loose connections or damage. If wiring is okay, one of the boards is faulty.
Drum motor or sensor fault
Error related to the drum positioning sensor or motor control unit, often seen in top-loading models.
Inspect the wiring to the motor and drum position sensor. The sensor or the motor control board may need replacement.
Philips F2 E1: Motor drive or inverter rotation anomaly in Oven / Microwave; drum/motor fails to spin at target RPM.
The motorized door lock has failed to lock or unlock correctly, often during a self-clean cycle.
Allow the oven to cool completely. Try to run a short cycle to reset the lock. If it remains, the door lock assembly may need replacement.
Oven temperature sensor open
The control board has detected an open circuit for the oven's temperature sensor (thermistor).
Check the wiring to the sensor. Test the sensor for resistance. An open circuit (infinite resistance) means the sensor needs to be replaced.
Oven temperature sensor shorted
The control board has detected a short circuit for the oven's temperature sensor (thermistor).
Check the wiring for shorts. Test the sensor for resistance. A reading of zero or near-zero ohms indicates a shorted sensor that needs replacement.
Optical water indicator (OWI) fault
The sensor that detects the soil level in the water is dirty or has failed.
Run a hot cleaning cycle. If the error persists, locate and clean the OWI sensor. Replace the sensor if it has failed.
Philips FB: Motor drive or inverter rotation anomaly in Dishwasher; drum/motor fails to spin at target RPM.
The motorized valve that directs water to the upper or lower spray arms is not functioning correctly.
Check wiring to the diverter valve. The motor or position switch may have failed, requiring replacement of the valve assembly.
Philips AIRFRYER ---: Operational cycle fault detected during Household Appliance program execution.
The Airfryer is in cool-down mode after use or after an error to protect internal components.
This is normal behavior. Wait for the appliance to cool down. Do not unplug it during this process.
Philips AIRFRYER E1: Operational cycle fault detected during Household Appliance program execution.
Internal wiring has become disconnected, often the connection to the drawer sensor.
Unplug the appliance. A technician needs to open the appliance to re-seat the internal connectors.
Error code E4 is displayed on the Airfryer screen.
Internal hardware malfunction, often related to a sensor failure or control board issue.
Unplug the Airfryer and let it rest for 10 minutes, then plug it back in. If the error persists, the appliance requires service.
