Symptom / Description

FAULT

Candy Brava / RapidÓ / DiVino Smart Touch Dishwasher: Turbidity optical sensor fault E9; infrared soil sensing system fails calibration during pre-wash evaluation.

TELEMETRY // LIVESIG: FAULT_DETECTED

Root Cause

ROOT CAUSE

On Candy dishwashers featuring Brava high-pressure wash hydraulics, Maxi Tub basket architecture, and Smart Touch / hOn Wi-Fi telemetry: Grease film coating optical lenses in sump, disconnected sensor plug, or burned infrared transmitter LED.

CIRCUIT // SUBSYSTEMLOGIC: ROOT_ISOLATED

Repair Instructions

UNLOCKED
1Clean optical turbidity sensor prism inside sump using soft cloth and degreaser. Check 5V DC power supply on sensor connector pins. Press and hold Start/Reset for 5 seconds until the LED rapid flash ends, close door to initiate 60s drain cycle, then power off.

1. Pre-Intervention Electrical Safety Protocols
  • !Electrical Safety Protocol: Isolate 230V mains power before accessing the lower pump housing.
  • !Prepare a shallow basin and absorption towels: expect 3 to 10 liters of stagnant trapped water upon filter opening.
  • !Beware of sharp foreign objects (broken glass, needles, screws) trapped inside the impeller cavity.
3. Preliminary Mechanical & Visual Checks
  • Unscrew coin trap filter and clear all foreign debris (coins, hairpins, bra underwires).
  • Rotate pump impeller manually: synchronous magnetic rotors should snap cleanly in 90° intervals without jamming.
  • Check drain hose for kinks, blockages, or unpunched sink spigots; verify drain height is between 65cm and 100cm.
