DISPATCHAlways disconnect appliance from 230V/400V mains before opening panels. Use CAT III multimeter for circuit testing.
Frequently Asked Questions: Faure E20
FAQ TREEWhat does error code E20 mean on a Faure appliance?
Faure error code E20 indicates: Faure FWG / FWF Series / Magic'45 Compact Washer: Water drainage general fault E20; machine cannot evacuate water before spin or rinse cycle transition..
What is the root cause of Faure error code E20?
The primary root cause for Faure code E20 is: On Faure (Faure FWG / FWF Series / Magic'45 Compact Washer) models: Drain filter clogged by coins or lint, foreign object jammed in pump impeller, synchronous pump coil open (nominal 160–220 Ω), or kinked waste pipe..
How do I fix or resolve Faure error code E20?
To resolve error code E20: Unscrew lower front filter and clean impeller housing. Verify free impeller rotation. Measure pump motor coil with multimeter (160–220 Ω). Press and hold Départ/Pause and Annulation buttons for 6 seconds until all status indicators flash synchronously and clear fault memory.
Is it safe to clear Faure error code E20 by resetting power?
Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if Faure code E20 persists, the physical component causing On Faure (Faure FWG / FWF Series / Magic'45 Compact Washer) models: Drain filter clogged by coins or lint, foreign object jammed in pump impeller, synchronous pump coil open (nominal 160–220 Ω), or kinked waste pipe. must be inspected or replaced.
How do I test electrical resistance for Faure code E20 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 Faure code E20?
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.
