DISPATCHAlways disconnect appliance from 230V/400V mains before opening panels. Use CAT III multimeter for circuit testing.
Frequently Asked Questions: Candy E9
FAQ TREEWhat does error code E9 mean on a Candy appliance?
Candy error code E9 indicates: Candy Brava / RapidÓ / DiVino Smart Touch Dishwasher: Turbidity optical sensor fault E9; infrared soil sensing system fails calibration during pre-wash evaluation..
What is the root cause of Candy error code E9?
The primary root cause for Candy code E9 is: 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..
How do I fix or resolve Candy error code E9?
To resolve error code E9: Clean 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.
Is it safe to clear Candy error code E9 by resetting power?
Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if Candy code E9 persists, the physical component causing 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. must be inspected or replaced.
How do I test electrical resistance for Candy code E9 using a multimeter?
Set a digital multimeter to ohms (Ω). Disconnect power and test Drain Pump Motor Stator Coils across Across pump motor spade terminals (L-N unclipped). Expected nominal reading is 160Ω–220Ω (Sync 230V) / 20Ω–45Ω (3-Phase BLDC). Tolerance: ±10% balance. Insulation resistance between coil and motor chassis must exceed 20MΩ..
What safety protocol must be followed before servicing Candy code E9?
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.
