DISPATCHAlways disconnect appliance from 230V/400V mains before opening panels. Use CAT III multimeter for circuit testing.
Frequently Asked Questions: Faure E43
FAQ TREEWhat does error code E43 mean on a Faure appliance?
Faure error code E43 indicates: Faure FWG / FWF Series / Magic'45 Compact Washer: Door lock triac circuit failure E43 on main PCB; triac short-circuited or continuously energizing lock coil..
What is the root cause of Faure error code E43?
The primary root cause for Faure code E43 is: On Faure (Faure FWG / FWF Series / Magic'45 Compact Washer) models: Door interlock PTC or solenoid coil experienced internal short circuit, destroying the power triac (TY1/TY2) on main EWM board..
How do I fix or resolve Faure error code E43?
To resolve error code E43: CRITICAL: Measure door interlock resistance before installing new PCB (PTC must be > 800 Ω; solenoid > 120 Ω). Replace both interlock and PCB if damaged. 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 E43 by resetting power?
Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if Faure code E43 persists, the physical component causing On Faure (Faure FWG / FWF Series / Magic'45 Compact Washer) models: Door interlock PTC or solenoid coil experienced internal short circuit, destroying the power triac (TY1/TY2) on main EWM board. must be inspected or replaced.
How do I test electrical resistance for Faure code E43 using a multimeter?
Set a digital multimeter to ohms (Ω). Disconnect power and test PTC Heater Pellet / Pulse Solenoid / Microswitch Contacts across Across PTC heater terminals on lock bezel; switch contact reads <0.2Ω when locked. Expected nominal reading is 800Ω–1.5kΩ (PTC terminals L-N) / 60Ω–120Ω (Pulse Solenoid). Tolerance: ±15%. Switch contacts must read open (OL) when unlocked and 0.0Ω–0.2Ω when fully latched..
What safety protocol must be followed before servicing Faure code E43?
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.
