DISPATCHAlways disconnect appliance from 230V/400V mains before opening panels. Use CAT III multimeter for circuit testing.
Frequently Asked Questions: Faure E50
FAQ TREEWhat does error code E50 mean on a Faure appliance?
Faure error code E50 indicates: Faure FWG / FWF Series / Magic'45 Compact Washer: Motor drive general alarm E50; motor drive system failure stopping drum rotation during cycle..
What is the root cause of Faure error code E50?
The primary root cause for Faure code E50 is: On Faure (Faure FWG / FWF Series / Magic'45 Compact Washer) models: Worn carbon brushes (< 15 mm length) on universal motor, broken drive belt, inverter module trip, or motor thermal protector tripped..
How do I fix or resolve Faure error code E50?
To resolve error code E50: Inspect motor carbon brushes (replace if < 15 mm). On inverter brushless models, verify free drum rotation and inspect inverter board. 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 E50 by resetting power?
Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if Faure code E50 persists, the physical component causing On Faure (Faure FWG / FWF Series / Magic'45 Compact Washer) models: Worn carbon brushes (< 15 mm length) on universal motor, broken drive belt, inverter module trip, or motor thermal protector tripped. must be inspected or replaced.
How do I test electrical resistance for Faure code E50 using a multimeter?
Set a digital multimeter to ohms (Ω). Disconnect power and test Immersion / Air Heating Element & Klixon Thermostat across Between element terminals (unwired). Insulation to earth casing: >20MΩ (OL). Expected nominal reading is 25Ω–28Ω (230V / 2000W) / <0.5Ω (Safety Klixon closed). Tolerance: Formula R = V²/P (±5%). Any earth leakage reading below 2MΩ will trip the domestic 30mA RCD breaker..
What safety protocol must be followed before servicing Faure code E50?
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.
