Door lock fault (pyrolytic models)
The motorized door lock has failed to engage or disengage, or the door switch is not being detected.
Ensure the door is closed correctly. Check for any obstructions in the lock mechanism. The door lock assembly may be faulty and require replacement.
Severin F8: Water level pressure sensor/switch frequency anomaly detected in Dishwasher.
The appliance has detected an issue with the water level inside the tub, could be too high or too low for the current cycle step.
Clean the filters and check the drain hose. Run a reset cycle. If the problem continues, there may be an issue with the water level sensor or pressure chamber.
Severin F9: Motor drive or inverter rotation anomaly in Dishwasher; drum/motor fails to spin at target RPM.
The diverter valve, which directs water to the upper or lower spray arms, is jammed or faulty.
Check for obstructions around the diverter valve assembly at the bottom of the tub. The valve motor or position sensor may have failed and require replacement.
Severin F10: Motor drive or inverter rotation anomaly in Oven / Microwave; drum/motor fails to spin at target RPM.
The cooling fan that cools the oven's electronics is not working or is blocked.
Disconnect power. Check if the cooling fan blade can spin freely. Test the fan motor for continuity. Replace the fan motor if it has failed.
Severin FE: Water level pressure sensor/switch frequency anomaly detected in Dishwasher.
The water level has exceeded the maximum safe level, likely due to a stuck water inlet valve.
Immediately turn off the water supply to the machine and unplug it. This fault requires urgent service to replace the faulty water inlet valve.
Severin H: Cooling circuit or defrost system anomaly in Refrigerator / Freezer; compartment temperature deviation.
The temperature inside one of the compartments is too high. This could be due to the door being left open, a recent large addition of warm food, or a cooling system failure.
Ensure the doors are fully closed and seals are clean. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize after adding food. If it persists, there may be a fault with the cooling system.
Critical error / Program halted
A major fault has been detected that prevents safe operation, such as a main board failure or critical sensor error.
Turn the appliance off at the mains for 30 minutes to attempt a full reset. If the error code reappears, the appliance requires a service technician to diagnose with specific tools.
Communication error between boards
The main control board is not able to communicate with the user interface / display board.
Unplug the refrigerator for 5 minutes. Check the wiring harness connecting the main board (usually at the back) and the display board in the door. If connections are good, one of the boards is faulty.
Severin SY EF: Cooling circuit or defrost system anomaly in Refrigerator / Freezer; compartment temperature deviation.
The fan that circulates cold air over the evaporator coil in the freezer is blocked or has failed.
Check for ice buildup obstructing the fan blades. Defrost the freezer manually. If the fan still doesn't run after defrosting, the fan motor has likely failed and needs replacement.
