Severin E01: Door lock safety interlock fault in Washing Machine; door switch contact fails to close or open.
The door is not correctly closed, or the door lock mechanism (interlock) is faulty or has a bad connection.
Ensure the door is firmly shut. Check the wiring to the door lock. If the problem persists, the door interlock assembly may need to be replaced.
Severin E1: NTC temperature sensor signal out of range (open or short circuit) in Hob / Cooktop.
The temperature sensor for a cooking zone has detected excessive heat, often from a pan boiling dry or unsuitable cookware being used.
Remove the cookware from the affected zone and turn it off. Allow the hob to cool down completely. Ensure ventilation slots are clear.
Severin E02: 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. The water tap may be closed, the inlet hose kinked, or the inlet valve filter blocked.
Check that the water supply tap is fully open. Straighten any kinks in the inlet hose. Unscrew the hose from the machine and clean the small mesh filter inside the inlet valve.
Internal electronics overheating
The main control board's temperature sensor has detected that the internal electronics are too hot. This is usually due to poor ventilation.
Turn off the hob and let it cool. Check that the ventilation space required under the hob in the cabinet is clear and not blocked by items.
Severin E03: Water drainage failure detected in Washing Machine; drain pump cannot evacuate water within safety time limit.
The machine is unable to drain the water. The drain pump filter is blocked, the drain hose is kinked or blocked, or the pump itself has failed.
Locate and clean the drain pump filter (usually at the bottom front). Check the drain hose for blockages or sharp bends. Ensure the drain hose is not too deep into the standpipe.
Severin E3: Operational cycle fault detected during Hob / Cooktop program execution.
The hob has detected that the incoming mains voltage is too high.
This is an issue with the home's electrical supply. Contact a qualified electrician to check the voltage.
Overfilling or water level sensor fault
The machine has detected too much water in the drum. This is likely caused by a faulty pressure switch (water level sensor) or a blockage in the pressure chamber hose.
Disconnect the appliance from power. Check the thin rubber hose running to the pressure switch for blockages or splits. If the hose is clear, the pressure switch may need replacement.
Severin E4: Operational cycle fault detected during Hob / Cooktop program execution.
The incoming mains voltage is too low for the hob to operate safely.
Contact a qualified electrician to check the home's electrical supply and the connection to the hob.
Heating element or NTC sensor fault
The water is not heating. This could be a fault with the heating element itself or the NTC temperature sensor that monitors water temperature.
This requires testing components with a multimeter. Check the resistance of the heating element and the NTC sensor. Replace the faulty component.
Severin E5: Operational cycle fault detected during Hob / Cooktop program execution.
There is a communication failure between the induction generator board and the user interface/control board.
Try a hard reset by turning off the power at the circuit breaker for 10 minutes. If the error returns, a service technician will need to check internal connections and boards.
Severin E06: Motor drive or inverter rotation anomaly in Washing Machine; drum/motor fails to spin at target RPM.
The main drive motor is not turning. This can be caused by worn motor carbon brushes, a faulty motor, or a bad connection.
Check the motor's carbon brushes for wear; they should be at least 1cm long. Check wiring to the motor. If brushes are good, the motor itself may be faulty.
Severin E6: NTC temperature sensor signal out of range (open or short circuit) in Hob / Cooktop.
A temperature sensor for one of the cooking zones is faulty (open or short circuit).
The induction module containing the faulty sensor will need to be diagnosed and likely replaced by a service technician.
Motor speed sensor fault (tacho)
The control board is not receiving a speed signal from the motor. The tacho coil on the motor may be dislodged, faulty, or have a bad connection.
Inspect the tacho coil on the end of the motor shaft. Ensure it is secure and the magnet is intact. Check the wiring from the tacho back to the control board.
Severin E8: Motor drive or inverter rotation anomaly in Hob / Cooktop; drum/motor fails to spin at target RPM.
The internal cooling fan for the electronics has failed or is blocked.
Turn off power to the hob. A technician needs to inspect the fan for obstructions or test the fan motor for failure.
Severin E10: Water level pressure sensor/switch frequency anomaly detected in Washing Machine.
The control board has received an invalid signal from the water level sensor, or the sensor is not detected.
Check the wiring between the pressure switch/level sensor and the main control board. Reseat the connector. If the issue persists, replace the sensor.
Severin E21: Water drainage failure detected in Washing Machine; drain pump cannot evacuate water within safety time limit.
Water is not being pumped out effectively during the spin or drain cycle, often due to a severe blockage.
Perform a thorough check and cleaning of the pump filter. Inspect the entire drain hose and the spigot under the sink where it connects for blockages.
Severin E30: Water inlet / filling timeout in Washing Machine; appliance fails to fill to minimum operational level.
The door lock mechanism has a persistent fault that cannot be cleared by simply opening and closing the door.
This indicates a probable failure of the door lock solenoid or microswitch. Disconnect power for 10 minutes to reset. If error returns, replace the door lock assembly.
Severin E40: Operational cycle fault detected during Washing Machine program execution.
The main control board is detecting an abnormal voltage from the power supply.
Check the household power supply and ensure the machine is plugged into a suitable outlet. If the home's electricity is stable, the fault lies with the machine's internal power board.
Severin F: Motor drive or inverter rotation anomaly in Hob / Cooktop; drum/motor fails to spin at target RPM.
The hob does not recognize the cookware. The pan may be unsuitable (not induction-compatible), too small for the zone, or not centered correctly.
Ensure you are using induction-compatible cookware (a magnet should stick to the base). Make sure the pan is centered on the cooking zone and is large enough for that zone.
Temperature probe fault (NTC)
The oven's main temperature sensor (NTC) is detected as open or short-circuited by the control board.
Disconnect the oven from power. Access the temperature probe inside the oven cavity, disconnect it and test its resistance with a multimeter. Replace if faulty.
Freezer compartment sensor fault
The temperature sensor (thermistor) inside the freezer section is faulty, showing an open or short circuit.
Unplug the appliance. The sensor, located near the evaporator coil or on a side wall, needs to be tested and likely replaced.
Severin F02: NTC temperature sensor signal out of range (open or short circuit) in Oven / Microwave.
The oven has detected a temperature much higher than the set point. This could be a stuck heating element relay on the control board or a faulty temperature sensor.
Turn off the appliance immediately. This fault usually indicates a failure of the main power board and requires professional diagnosis.
Fresh food compartment sensor fault
The temperature sensor in the refrigerator (fresh food) section is faulty.
Unplug the appliance. Locate the sensor in the fridge section (often behind a small plastic cover) and have it tested and replaced if necessary.
Main board communication failure
The connection between the main control board and the display/user interface board has been lost.
Disconnect power. Check the ribbon cable or wiring harness that connects the two circuit boards. Ensure it is securely plugged in at both ends. If secure, one of the boards may have failed.
Severin F3: Cooling circuit or defrost system anomaly in Refrigerator / Freezer; compartment temperature deviation.
The defrost thermistor, which monitors the evaporator coil temperature during a defrost cycle, has failed.
This sensor is usually clipped to the evaporator coil behind a panel in the freezer. It needs to be tested and replaced if out of specification.
Severin F04: Operational cycle fault detected during Oven / Microwave program execution.
The memory chip (EEPROM) on the main control board is corrupted or has failed.
Try disconnecting the appliance from the mains power for 30 minutes to reset the board. If the error returns, the main control board needs to be replaced.
Severin F4: Cooling circuit or defrost system anomaly in Refrigerator / Freezer; compartment temperature deviation.
The defrost heating element is open circuit and not working. This will lead to a build-up of ice on the evaporator coil.
The defrost heater needs to be tested for continuity with a multimeter. This is a job for a service technician, as it involves accessing internal components.
Severin F5: Operational cycle fault detected during Refrigerator / Freezer program execution.
A fault has been detected with the ice maker mechanism or its sensor.
Check if the ice maker is turned on and the water line is connected and not frozen. Check for any jammed ice cubes. The ice maker module may need to be reset or replaced.
NTC temperature sensor error
The main control board has detected an open or short circuit in the NTC temperature sensor.
The NTC sensor, which measures water temperature, is faulty and needs to be replaced. Check wiring to the sensor first.
Compressor or main board fault
The main control board has detected a problem with the compressor circuit, or the compressor itself is not running.
Listen to hear if the compressor is trying to start (a click followed by a hum). This could be a failed start relay or compressor. Requires professional diagnosis.
