Faure E5A

Faure error code E5A indicates: Faure FWG / FWF Series / Magic'45 Compact Washer: Inverter module heat sink overheating alarm E5A; IGBT thermal sensor exceeds 88°C threshold..

The primary root cause for Faure code E5A is: On Faure (Faure FWG / FWF Series / Magic'45 Compact Washer) models: Inverter housing air vents blocked with lint and dust, dried thermal paste between IGBT module and aluminum heat sink, or excessive ambient heat..

To resolve error code E5A: Vacuum dust from inverter module aluminum heat sink fins. Reapply thermal grease between power bridge and heat sink if detached. Press and hold Départ/Pause and Annulation buttons for 6 seconds until all status indicators flash synchronously and clear fault memory.

Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if Faure code E5A persists, the physical component causing On Faure (Faure FWG / FWF Series / Magic'45 Compact Washer) models: Inverter housing air vents blocked with lint and dust, dried thermal paste between IGBT module and aluminum heat sink, or excessive ambient heat. must be inspected or replaced.

Set a digital multimeter to ohms (Ω). Disconnect power and test 3-Phase Motor Windings / Tacho Generator / Carbon Brushes across Across phase pins U-V, V-W, U-W on motor harness; across tacho pins. Expected nominal reading is 3Ω–6Ω (BLDC phase U-V-W) / 60Ω–180Ω (Tacho coil) / 1.5Ω–3.5Ω (Universal stator). Tolerance: BLDC phase winding values must be strictly balanced within ±0.3Ω. Hand rotation generates 1V–4V AC on tacho..

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.
