Bompani A16

Bompani error code A16 indicates: Bompani AquaStop Fully Integrated & Freestanding Eco-Wash Dishwasher: Operational diagnostic fault code A16 signaled by internal electronics. Flow-through heater overheat safety bimetallic klixon thermostat tripped open circuit (85°C cutoff).

The primary root cause for Bompani code A16 is: On Bompani kitchen suites engineered with synchronous wash pump with run capacitor, 1800W flow-through heater (26-28 Ω), pneumatic pressure switch, optical turbidity sensor, and AquaStop tray switch: Insufficient water circulation over heating tube caused by clogged filters or circulation pump stalling Multimeter diagnostic parameter: safety thermostat contact resistance <0.1 Ω when cool (<60°C); open circuit (>10 MΩ) indicates tripped klixon..

To resolve error code A16: Safely de-energize the appliance at the electrical distribution board. Unplug wiring connector from the affected component and verify with a digital multimeter: test continuity directly across the klixon thermostat terminals mounted on the heater casing (<0.1 Ω). Inspect spade lugs for signs of heat discoloration. Replace defective component, restore electrical supply, and perform system reset: Switch appliance off. Press and hold Start/Reset button for 4 seconds while powering on, release when LED flashes rapidly, clearing saved cycle errors.

Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if Bompani code A16 persists, the physical component causing On Bompani kitchen suites engineered with synchronous wash pump with run capacitor, 1800W flow-through heater (26-28 Ω), pneumatic pressure switch, optical turbidity sensor, and AquaStop tray switch: Insufficient water circulation over heating tube caused by clogged filters or circulation pump stalling Multimeter diagnostic parameter: safety thermostat contact resistance <0.1 Ω when cool (<60°C); open circuit (>10 MΩ) indicates tripped klixon. must be inspected or replaced.

Set a digital multimeter to ohms (Ω). Disconnect power and test Mechanical Pressure Switch Contacts / Inductive Frequency Sensor across Across switch spade contacts with harness unplugged; electronic output: 40Hz–50Hz frequency signal. Expected nominal reading is Mechanical: Continuity 0.0Ω–0.2Ω (Empty: 11-12, Full: 11-14). Electronic: 20Ω–45Ω coil resistance.. Tolerance: Mechanical switch contacts must transition cleanly on gentle breath pressure. Coil ~22Ω ±5%..

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.
