This error signifies a draining issue. The drain pump or hose might be blocked, or there could be a malfunction with the pump itself.
E21: Water Drain Time Too Long
The machine has detected that the draining process is taking too long. This can be due to blockages or kinks in the drain hose.
E30: Door is Open
The washing machine door is open or not properly latched. Ensure the door is closed securely before starting a cycle.
E40: Door is Not Closed
This error indicates that the door isn’t closed properly. Check the door latch and hinges for any issues.
E41: Door Lock Circuit Problem
There’s an issue with the circuitry of the door lock. The door lock mechanism or its wiring might be faulty.
E50: Motor Error
The washing machine’s motor is malfunctioning. This could be due to issues with the motor itself or related circuitry.
E60: Heating Phase Issue
The machine has detected a problem during the heating phase, which could be related to the heating element or its circuitry.
E70: Wrong Temperature for the Cycle
The water temperature is not appropriate for the selected washing cycle. This can be due to issues with the temperature sensor or water inlet valves.
E90: Communication Error
This error indicates a communication failure between the main control board and the user interface. This can hinder the washing machine’s ability to operate or adjust settings properly.
EF0: Overflow Error
The washing machine has detected an overflow situation. This could be due to a malfunctioning water inlet valve, a blocked drain, or an issue with the pressure switch.
EF1: Drain Pump Error
There’s a problem with the draining system. The pump might be blocked or malfunctioning.
EF2: Too Much Detergent
The machine has detected an excessive amount of detergent, which can result in excess suds and hinder proper cleaning.
EF3: Water Level Too High
The washing machine has detected that the water level is too high for the current cycle. This can be due to a faulty water inlet valve or a malfunctioning pressure switch.
EF4: Voltage Issue
There’s a problem with the washing machine’s voltage supply. Ensure that the appliance is connected to an appropriate power source.
EF5: Incorrect Water Temperature
The water temperature in the washing machine does not match the set temperature for the cycle. This can be caused by faulty water inlet valves or a malfunctioning temperature sensor.
EF6: Motor Overload
The motor has been overloaded, which can be due to excessive laundry load or a malfunction within the motor itself.
EF7: Door Lock Circuit Issue
There’s an issue with the circuitry related to the door lock. This can prevent the machine from starting or completing a cycle.
EF8: Valve Failure
The water inlet valve or associated circuitry is malfunctioning. This affects the machine’s ability to fill with water appropriately.
EF9: Drain System Blocked
This indicates a blockage within the machine’s draining system. Ensure that the drain hose and pump are clear of obstructions.
EPA: Unbalance Load
The washing machine has detected an unbalanced load. Redistribute the laundry inside the drum and restart the cycle.
EPB: Motor Triac Issue
There is a fault in the triac component of the motor. This error can hinder the motor’s ability to run effectively.
EPC: Temperature Sensor Failure
The washing machine’s temperature sensor or thermistor is malfunctioning, affecting the appliance’s ability to accurately measure water temperature.
EPD: Memory Failure
The washing machine’s internal memory is experiencing issues, which can affect its ability to recall settings or run specific cycles.
EPE: Tachometer Circuit Issue
There’s an error with the tachometer circuit, which monitors the motor’s speed. This might affect the drum’s rotation during cycles.
EPF: Heating Element Relay Failure
The relay that controls the heating element is malfunctioning, which can impact the machine’s ability to heat water to the desired temperature.
EPG: Pump Relay Issue
There’s an error with the relay that controls the pump. This can affect the appliance’s draining capability.
EPH: Door Lock Issue
The washing machine’s door locking mechanism is malfunctioning, potentially preventing the door from locking or unlocking properly.
EPI: Motor Drive Issue
The machine’s motor drive is experiencing problems, which can affect its ability to agitate or spin the drum.
EPJ: Inverter Board Failure
This code indicates a malfunction in the inverter board, which manages the motor’s speed and function.
EPK: Flow Meter Error
There’s an issue with the flow meter, which measures the amount of water entering the washing machine. This can affect the appliance’s ability to fill to the correct level.
EPL: Pressure Switch Error
The pressure switch, which monitors the water level inside the drum, is malfunctioning. This can lead to overfilling or underfilling issues.
EPM: Motor Control Error
This indicates a problem with the motor control unit, which regulates the motor’s operation during wash and spin cycles.
EPN: Door Unlock Failure
The washing machine is unable to unlock the door. This could be due to a mechanical issue or a malfunctioning door lock circuit.
EPO: Overflow Condition
The machine has detected an overflow condition, possibly due to a malfunctioning water inlet valve or pressure switch.
EPP: Door Lock Error
The machine has encountered an issue with the door lock mechanism, preventing it from securely locking the door during operation.
EPQ: Drain Pump Error
There’s an issue with the drain pump, which can affect the machine’s ability to efficiently drain water out of the drum.
EPR: Spin Speed Error
The washing machine is unable to reach the desired spin speed, possibly due to an unbalanced load or a malfunctioning motor or tachometer.
EPS: Cycle Selector Error
This error indicates a malfunction with the cycle selector switch, impacting the ability to choose or change washing cycles.
