DISPATCHAlways disconnect appliance from 230V/400V mains before opening panels. Use CAT III multimeter for circuit testing.
Frequently Asked Questions: Faure E71
FAQ TREEWhat does error code E71 mean on a Faure appliance?
Faure error code E71 indicates: Faure FWG / FWF Series / Magic'45 Compact Washer: Wash NTC thermistor open or short circuit E71; voltage signal < 0.1V or > 4.9V DC..
What is the root cause of Faure error code E71?
The primary root cause for Faure code E71 is: On Faure (Faure FWG / FWF Series / Magic'45 Compact Washer) models: Internal open circuit or short in NTC thermistor pellet, cut sensor wire in tub harness, or water ingress inside NTC casing..
How do I fix or resolve Faure error code E71?
To resolve error code E71: Measure NTC resistance directly across sensor pins (normal 4.8–6.0 kΩ at 20°C; if 0 Ω replace shorted sensor, if infinite ∞ Ω replace open sensor). 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 E71 by resetting power?
Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if Faure code E71 persists, the physical component causing On Faure (Faure FWG / FWF Series / Magic'45 Compact Washer) models: Internal open circuit or short in NTC thermistor pellet, cut sensor wire in tub harness, or water ingress inside NTC casing. must be inspected or replaced.
How do I test electrical resistance for Faure code E71 using a multimeter?
Set a digital multimeter to ohms (Ω). Disconnect power and test NTC Temperature Sensor Probe (Thermistor) across Across sensor pins 1-2 (unplugged harness). Expected nominal reading is 4.8kΩ–12kΩ (at 20°C–25°C). Tolerance: Negative temperature coefficient: resistance drops smoothly when warmed with fingers. OL = open circuit..
What safety protocol must be followed before servicing Faure code E71?
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.
