| Code | Fault / Diagnostics | Appliances | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| E01 | Door cannot be locked or machine won't start. Info: The door lock mechanism is faulty or there is a wiring issue to the lock. | Washing Machine | |
| E1 | The hob shuts down during use. Info: The internal electronics have overheated. This can be caused by blocked ventilation underneath the hob or prolonged use on high power without adequate airflow. | Hob | |
| E02 | Machine is not filling with water or filling very slowly. Info: Low water pressure, a kinked inlet hose, or a faulty water inlet valve. | Washing Machine | |
| E2 | A specific cooking zone shuts down. Info: The surface temperature of the ceramic glass has become too high, often from using an empty pan or one with a non-flat base. | Hob | |
| E03 | Machine is not draining water or pump runs continuously. Info: The drain pump filter is clogged, the drain hose is blocked or kinked, or the drain pump itself is faulty. | Washing Machine | |
| E3 | The hob does not turn on or shows an error immediately. Info: The hob is receiving incorrect voltage from the mains supply. This is an installation or electrical supply issue. | Hob | |
| E04 | Machine has overfilled with water, potential for leaking. Info: A faulty pressure switch or a stuck water inlet valve is causing the machine to take in too much water. | Washing Machine | |
| E4 | Refrigerator is not cooling properly and there is a large ice block behind the back panel. Info: The defrost heater, which melts frost from the evaporator coils, is not working. | Refrigerator | |
| E05 | Water is not heating up during the wash cycle. Info: The heating element is faulty, or the NTC temperature sensor is defective, providing incorrect readings. | Washing Machine | |
| E06 | The drum is not turning or spinning. Info: The motor is faulty, carbon brushes are worn out, or there is an issue with the motor's tachometer. | Washing Machine | |
| E6 | One side of the induction hob (usually two zones) is not working. Info: Communication fault between the hob's two internal power modules (one for each pair of zones). | Hob | |
| E08 | Drum may spin uncontrollably to high speed or not at all. Info: Fault in the motor control circuit on the main PCB, specifically the motor triac being short-circuited. | Washing Machine | |
| E10 | Machine stops mid-cycle, display may flash or be unresponsive. Info: Communication error between the main control board (PCB) and the display board. | Washing Machine | |
| E21 | Drainage is slow or incomplete. Info: This is a specific drain fault, often indicating a partial blockage in the drain pump or hose that is slowing down the draining process. | Washing Machine | |
| F | A cooking zone will not turn on, and 'F' is flashing on its display. Info: The hob cannot detect a suitable pan on the cooking zone. The pan is either missing, not induction-compatible, too small, or not centered correctly. | Hob | |
| F-1 | Oven does not heat correctly or displays error code. Info: The oven's temperature sensor (NTC) circuit is open. The sensor is faulty or its wiring is disconnected. | Oven | |
| F1 | Dishwasher has stopped and may be leaking water from the base. Info: The anti-flood protection system (aquastop) has been activated. There is water in the base tray of the appliance. | Dishwasher | |
| F-2 | Oven overheats or doesn't regulate temperature properly. Info: The oven's temperature sensor (NTC) has short-circuited. | Oven | |
| F2 | Water is left in the bottom of the dishwasher after a cycle. Info: A blockage in the filters, drain hose, or a faulty drain pump is preventing the water from being removed. | Dishwasher | |
| F-3 | Oven shuts down during use and displays an error. Info: The oven has detected an overheating condition, likely due to a faulty cooling fan or blocked ventilation. | Oven | |
| F3 | Dishwasher continuously fills with water, even when turned off. Info: The water inlet valve (solenoid) is stuck open and not shutting off the water supply. | Dishwasher | |
| F-4 | Oven displays error code and may not operate. Info: A fault has been detected with the cooling fan circuit, even if not overheating. | Oven | |
| F4 | Poor wash results and incorrect water temperature. Info: A fault with the NTC temperature sensor. It is either open or short-circuited. 5 Elite Techs Verified | Dishwasher | |
| F-5 | The oven door will not lock or unlock, especially for pyrolytic cleaning cycles. Info: The motorized door lock mechanism is faulty, jammed, or has an electrical issue. | Oven | |
| F5 | Dishwasher does not fill with water or stops at the beginning of the cycle. Info: Insufficient water supply. The water tap may be closed, the inlet hose kinked, or the inlet valve filter blocked. | Dishwasher | |
| F6 | Dishes are not being washed with hot water; poor cleaning results. Info: Fault with the heating element. It has failed and is no longer heating the water. | Dishwasher | |
| F7 | Water is not being directed to the spray arms correctly; poor wash performance. Info: The diverter valve, which switches water flow between the upper and lower spray arms, is jammed or has failed. | Dishwasher | |
| F-8 | Oven function cannot be selected, or the wrong function activates. Info: There is a fault with the function selector switch or its connection to the main control board. | Oven | |
| H | An 'H' is displayed for a cooking zone after it has been turned off. Info: This is a residual heat indicator, not an error. It warns that the glass surface of the cooking zone is still hot and unsafe to touch. | Hob | |
| HF | Alarm and 'HF' (High Freezer) warning displayed. Info: The freezer compartment temperature is too high. This could be due to a recent large addition of unfrozen food, the door being left ajar, or a cooling system fault. | Refrigerator |
