Communication error between boards
The main control board cannot communicate with the display or user interface board.
Disconnect the oven from the power supply. Check the wiring harness and connectors between the main PCB and the display for damage or loose connections.
Door not closed or locked properly
The door is not fully shut, the door lock mechanism has failed, or there's a wiring issue to the lock.
Ensure the door is firmly closed. Check the door lock for damage. Test wiring and replace the door lock assembly if faulty.
Control board overheating
The temperature of the hob's main control board has exceeded its safe operating limit.
Ensure the ventilation slots under the hob are not blocked. Allow the hob to cool down completely. If the error persists, the cooling fan or control board may be faulty.
Vestel E02: Water inlet / filling timeout in Washing Machine; appliance fails to fill to minimum operational level.
The machine has not filled with enough water in the allotted time. Caused by low water pressure, a kinked inlet hose, or a faulty water inlet valve.
Check that the water supply is turned on and pressure is adequate. Inspect the inlet hose for kinks. Clean the filter in the inlet valve. Replace the valve if necessary.
Surface temperature sensor error
The sensor monitoring the temperature of the ceramic glass surface is faulty.
This is an internal fault. The hob will need to be inspected by a technician to test and replace the faulty sensor.
Drainage problem / Water not emptying
The machine has failed to drain water. The drain pump is blocked, the drain hose is kinked/blocked, or the drain pump has failed.
Check and clean the drain pump filter. Inspect the drain hose for blockages or kinks. Check if the drain pump impeller turns freely. Replace the pump if faulty.
Vestel E3: Operational cycle fault detected during Hob / Cooktop program execution.
The control board has detected that the incoming mains voltage is too high or too low for safe operation.
Have a qualified electrician check the voltage of the electrical supply to the hob. Correct any wiring or supply issues.
Machine has overfilled with water / Leaking
Too much water has entered the drum, detected by the pressure switch. Can be a faulty inlet valve stuck open or a pressure switch fault.
Turn off the water supply. Check the water inlet valve to see if it's closing properly. Inspect the pressure switch and its connecting tube for blockages or faults.
Vestel E4: Cooling circuit or defrost system anomaly in Refrigerator / Freezer; compartment temperature deviation.
The defrost heater element, which melts ice off the evaporator, is not working. The element may be broken, or the thermal fuse has blown.
Access the evaporator. Test the defrost heater for continuity. Test the thermal fuse for continuity. Replace the defective component.
Vestel E05: NTC temperature sensor signal out of range (open or short circuit) in Washing Machine.
The water is not reaching the correct temperature. This is usually a faulty heating element or a defective temperature sensor (NTC).
Test the heating element for continuity. Check the wiring to the element. Test the NTC sensor for the correct resistance value. Replace the faulty component.
Vestel E5: Operational cycle fault detected during Hob / Cooktop program execution.
Communication error between the user interface (touch control) and the main power board.
Try resetting the hob by turning off the power at the breaker for 5 minutes. If the fault returns, check the ribbon cable connecting the two boards. A board may be faulty.
Vestel E06: Motor drive or inverter rotation anomaly in Washing Machine; drum/motor fails to spin at target RPM.
The main drive motor is not working correctly. This can be due to worn motor brushes, a faulty motor itself, or a motor control triac failure on the main PCB.
Check motor brushes for wear and replace if shorter than 15mm. Check motor connections and windings. If the motor is okay, the fault is likely on the main control board.
No pan detected or unsuitable pan
The induction coil cannot detect a pan, or the pan being used is not suitable for induction cooking (e.g., not magnetic, too small).
Ensure you are using a pan with a magnetic base (test with a magnet). Make sure the pan base is flat and covers most of the cooking zone.
Program selector or configuration error
The control board has detected a fault with the program selector switch or has a memory/configuration error (EEPROM).
Try resetting the machine by unplugging it for 10 minutes. If the error persists, the main control board may need reprogramming or replacement.
Motor speed sensor (tacho) fault
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 broken wire.
Inspect the tacho generator on the end of the motor. Check its wiring and connections. Test the tacho coil for continuity. Replace the motor if the tacho is faulty and not a separate part.
Vestel E10: Operational cycle fault detected during Washing Machine program execution.
Communication fault between the main control board and the display board or other modules.
Check the wiring harness and connectors between the main PCB and the display board for loose connections or damage. The fault may lie with either board.
Vestel E17: Water drainage failure detected in Washing Machine; drain pump cannot evacuate water within safety time limit.
The machine has detected too much foam in the drum, usually caused by using too much or the wrong type of detergent.
Run a rinse or drain cycle to clear the foam. Use less detergent in future washes. Use high-efficiency (HE) detergent.
Vestel E18: Door lock safety interlock fault in Washing Machine; door switch contact fails to close or open.
The load inside the drum is not distributed evenly, preventing the machine from reaching high spin speeds safely.
Stop the machine, open the door, and redistribute the laundry more evenly inside the drum. Avoid washing single heavy items like a bath mat on its own.
Vestel E21: Water drainage failure detected in Washing Machine; drain pump cannot evacuate water within safety time limit.
A more specific drain fault indicating a blockage is highly likely, rather than a pump failure. Debris is restricting water flow.
Thoroughly check and clean the pump filter. Remove the sump hose and check for blockages like coins or socks. Inspect the entire drain hose.
Oven temperature sensor error (open circuit)
The main control board has lost connection to the oven temperature sensor (NTC/thermistor). This could be a broken wire or a failed sensor.
Check the wiring between the control board and the oven sensor. Test the resistance of the sensor (should be around 500-600 ohms at room temp). Replace the sensor if faulty.
Cooking zone sensor overheating
The temperature sensor for a specific cooking zone has detected excessive heat, often from prolonged use on high power or an empty pan left on the hob.
Remove the pan from the zone and allow the hob to cool down. The error should clear once the temperature is back within a safe range.
Oven temperature sensor error (short circuit)
The control board detects a short circuit in the oven temperature sensor (NTC/thermistor), indicating the sensor has failed.
Test the resistance of the oven sensor. If it reads zero or very low resistance, it needs to be replaced.
Induction coil overheating
The induction coil itself has overheated. This can be caused by restricted airflow or a faulty cooling fan.
Turn off the hob and let it cool completely. Check that the ventilation underneath the unit is not obstructed. If the error reoccurs quickly, the cooling system may be faulty.
Door lock mechanism fault
Error related to the motorized door lock, often seen during or after a pyrolytic cleaning cycle. The lock may be jammed or the motor/switch has failed.
Check if anything is obstructing the door lock mechanism. Test the lock motor and microswitches. The door lock assembly may need replacement.
Temperature sensor (NTC) fault - Open circuit
The control board detects an open circuit from the NTC temperature sensor, meaning it's likely disconnected or has failed.
Check the wiring and connection to the NTC sensor. Test the sensor's resistance; if it shows an open circuit (infinite resistance), it needs to be replaced.
Temperature sensor (NTC) fault - Short circuit
The control board detects a short circuit from the NTC temperature sensor, indicating it has failed internally.
Test the sensor's resistance; if it shows very low or zero resistance at room temperature, it has shorted and must be replaced.
Heating element or circuit failure
The oven has detected a failure in a heating element circuit. The element itself may have failed, or there is a wiring issue.
Disconnect power. Visually inspect the heating elements for breaks or blisters. Test the continuity of each element. Check wiring for burnt connections.
Diverter valve position error
The diverter valve, which directs water to the upper or lower spray arms, is in the wrong position or its feedback switch is faulty.
Check the diverter valve for blockages. Inspect the wiring to the diverter motor and position switch. The diverter valve assembly may need to be replaced.
Main board memory (EEPROM) error
The main control board has experienced a memory corruption or failure.
Attempt a hard reset by turning off the power at the breaker for 30 minutes. If the fault persists, the main control board will need to be replaced.
Electronic module / EEPROM error
There is a fault with the main control board's memory or configuration.
Try a hard reset by disconnecting the appliance from power for 30 minutes. If the error returns, the main control board likely needs to be replaced.
