DISPATCHAlways disconnect appliance from 230V/400V mains before opening panels. Use CAT III multimeter for circuit testing.
Frequently Asked Questions: Faure I5C
FAQ TREEWhat does error code I5C mean on a Faure appliance?
Faure error code I5C indicates: Faure FDF Series / Clean&Dry / MaxiWash Dishwasher: Circulation pump inverter DC bus undervoltage alarm i5C; rectified bus voltage drops below 175V DC under load..
What is the root cause of Faure error code I5C?
The primary root cause for Faure code I5C is: On Faure (Faure FDF Series / Clean&Dry / MaxiWash Dishwasher) models: Sag in mains AC voltage during heater activation, high contact resistance on power cord plug, or failing input bridge rectifier..
How do I fix or resolve Faure error code I5C?
To resolve error code I5C: Measure wall outlet voltage under load while dishwasher heater and motor run simultaneously. Inspect power plug blades for burns. 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 I5C by resetting power?
Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if Faure code I5C persists, the physical component causing On Faure (Faure FDF Series / Clean&Dry / MaxiWash Dishwasher) models: Sag in mains AC voltage during heater activation, high contact resistance on power cord plug, or failing input bridge rectifier. must be inspected or replaced.
How do I test electrical resistance for Faure code I5C 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 I5C?
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.
