Arthur Martin E85

Arthur Martin error code E85 indicates: Arthur Martin Electrolux AWF Series / Silence Plus Washer: Recirculation pump triac damaged or motor blocked E85; pump fails to spray water onto wash load..

The primary root cause for Arthur Martin code E85 is: On Arthur Martin (Arthur Martin Electrolux AWF Series / Silence Plus Washer) models: Lint or thread jammed inside recirculation pump impeller, triac short-circuited on PCB, or impeller detached from motor rotor..

To resolve error code E85: Dismantle recirculation pump and clear debris from impeller chamber. Verify impeller turns freely and replace pump if seized. Hold Départ/Pause and Option buttons firmly for 5 seconds until the red indicator extinguishes and service memory resets.

Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if Arthur Martin code E85 persists, the physical component causing On Arthur Martin (Arthur Martin Electrolux AWF Series / Silence Plus Washer) models: Lint or thread jammed inside recirculation pump impeller, triac short-circuited on PCB, or impeller detached from motor rotor. must be inspected or replaced.

Set a digital multimeter to ohms (Ω). Disconnect power and test 3-Phase Motor Windings / Tacho Generator / Carbon Brushes across Across phase pins U-V, V-W, U-W on motor harness; across tacho pins. Expected nominal reading is 3Ω–6Ω (BLDC phase U-V-W) / 60Ω–180Ω (Tacho coil) / 1.5Ω–3.5Ω (Universal stator). Tolerance: BLDC phase winding values must be strictly balanced within ±0.3Ω. Hand rotation generates 1V–4V AC on tacho..

Standard electrical safety protocol: 1. Disconnect 230V mains power before opening panels. 2. Verify zero voltage at test points. 3. Allow hot water or heating elements to cool below 30°C before handling.
