DISPATCHAlways disconnect appliance from 230V/400V mains before opening panels. Use CAT III multimeter for circuit testing.
Frequently Asked Questions: Franke E13
FAQ TREEWhat does error code E13 mean on a Franke appliance?
Franke error code E13 indicates: Franke Mythos FDW / Maris Active Kitchen Integrated Dishwasher: Diagnostic fault code E13 registered by the microcomputer controller. Detergent & rinse-aid dispenser solenoid open circuit.
What is the root cause of Franke error code E13?
The primary root cause for Franke code E13 is: On Franke appliances engineered with Dynamic Flow hydraulic wash circuit with BLDC variable-speed circulation wash pump, optical dual turbidity sensor, and active condensation drying turbine: dispenser release actuator coil open Metrological tolerance verification: solenoid coil nominal 1.8 kΩ to 2.4 kΩ...
How do I fix or resolve Franke error code E13?
To resolve error code E13: Disconnect mains power before servicing. Unplug the harness at the main PCB and use a calibrated digital multimeter: measure resistance across dispenser solenoid leads (expected ~2.1 kΩ). Inspect contacts for pin oxidation or loose terminals. Replace defective part if out of tolerance, re-energize and clear error: Press and hold Start/Pause for 5 seconds until the display shows '0:01' or cancels the cycle. Close the door to allow 60 seconds of drain down, then switch off power for 30 seconds before restarting.
Is it safe to clear Franke error code E13 by resetting power?
Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if Franke code E13 persists, the physical component causing On Franke appliances engineered with Dynamic Flow hydraulic wash circuit with BLDC variable-speed circulation wash pump, optical dual turbidity sensor, and active condensation drying turbine: dispenser release actuator coil open Metrological tolerance verification: solenoid coil nominal 1.8 kΩ to 2.4 kΩ.. must be inspected or replaced.
How do I test electrical resistance for Franke code E13 using a multimeter?
Set a digital multimeter to ohms (Ω). Disconnect power and test Drain Pump Motor Stator Coils across Across pump motor spade terminals (L-N unclipped). Expected nominal reading is 160Ω–220Ω (Sync 230V) / 20Ω–45Ω (3-Phase BLDC). Tolerance: ±10% balance. Insulation resistance between coil and motor chassis must exceed 20MΩ..
What safety protocol must be followed before servicing Franke code E13?
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.
