Candy EF

Candy error code EF indicates: Candy Brava / RapidÓ / DiVino Smart Touch Dishwasher: Flowmeter pulse overflow anomaly EF; impulse count exceeds maximum safety tank volume during filling phase..

The primary root cause for Candy code EF is: On Candy dishwashers featuring Brava high-pressure wash hydraulics, Maxi Tub basket architecture, and Smart Touch / hOn Wi-Fi telemetry: Siphoning water leaking continuously out of drain hose during fill, or defective pressure switch failing to register water depth..

To resolve error code EF: Check drain hose standpipe height (must be between 65 cm and 100 cm). Clear pressure switch dome in sump. Check pressure transducer contacts. Press and hold Start/Reset for 5 seconds until the LED rapid flash ends, close door to initiate 60s drain cycle, then power off.

Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if Candy code EF 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: Siphoning water leaking continuously out of drain hose during fill, or defective pressure switch failing to register water depth. 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.
