Zanussi dishwashers are used by many, but sometimes malfunctions occur during their operation. To make it easier to understand them, the designers of the equipment have provided for the display of the error code on the display. After all, problems with the dishwasher are not always serious breakdowns, sometimes the owner of the machine is able to carry out simple repairs himself. Knowing the error codes of Zanussi dishwashers and the corresponding repair procedure, you can successfully restore the operability of the dishwasher.
General notes
Although the indication of a specific code suggests the reason for the problems that have arisen with the Zanussi dishwasher, nevertheless, you should not approach the analysis of the breakdown formally. The unit is a complex mechanism and errors in operation sometimes manifest themselves, affecting other components of the machine.
It is impossible to exclude a situation when the display of the Zanussi dishwasher first shows one code, then another. In rare situations, it is possible that after restarting, the error number changes not two, but three or four times. In this situation, it is recommended not to try to understand what to do, but to entrust the repair to a specialist.
In most of these cases, the cause is damage to the electronic control module, which is very difficult to repair on your own. However, in some situations, everything is explained by burnt parts or damaged wires.
Description of error codes
The following will provide descriptions of error codes for Zanussi dishwashers and will tell you how to correct them. However, if it appears on the display, you must first make sure that the signal indicating a malfunction is not an accident.
To do this, you need:
- Turn off the unit.
- In this case, it is advisable to unplug it from the outlet.
- Next you need to wait at least 15 minutes.
I10
Some types of dishwashers do not have a screen. In this case, code I10 is indicated by the blinking of the light located next to the inscription END. This type of error indicates that the washing mashine is clean water is not flowing. There are several reasons for this:
- there is no water in the water supply at all;
- the hose through which it should flow is compressed;
- The hose inlet filter is clogged and does not allow water to pass through.
I20
When this code is visible on the display or the light next to the inscription END flashes twice with an interval of 5 seconds. Malfunction I20 is that the spent water is not pumped out from the working tank. In this situation, one of the possible sources of the problem is a clogged drain hose, garbage filter or pipe. In order to restore the machine's functionality, it is necessary to inspect and clean them.
There may also be a malfunction of the pressure switch or pump that pumps out water. The latter is faulty, possibly due to mechanical damage. These devices must be carefully inspected, the cause of the breakdown determined and repaired.
I30
When such errors occur, the LED flashes three times at an interval of 5 seconds. Signal I30 indicates that a special leakage protection sensor has been activated in the pan. The most likely reason here is that water has leaked into the pan. It cannot be ruled out that this sensor could have triggered accidentally.
To fix it, you need to get to the pan through the side wall or protective panel and check whether water has actually flowed. It needs to be drained by placing the washing mashine on its side. We need to find what caused the leak and fix it.
I50
This code will be shown on the display. The signal is also given by flashing the light five times at a five-second interval. If the I50 breaks down, we are talking about a faulty triac - a Zanussi electronic component that will need to be replaced. It is designed to control a pump that must pump waste water out of the machine. Only a master can carry out such repairs.
I60
This code is displayed on the display and is also duplicated by blinking the END LED six times. The break between them is 5 seconds. In this case, water heating is insufficient. The most likely reason is heating element malfunction. This may apply to both itself and its wiring or contacts. Another reason for the breakdown of the I60 in Zanussi may be a faulty pump.
In order to cope with the malfunction, it is recommended to check the contacts of the heating element and its wiring using an ohmmeter.In order to get to them in a Zanussi dishwasher, you will need to remove the side wall of the dishwasher. In some cases, a defect in the electronics may cause a breakdown.
I70
In this case, the error code is additionally reported by the dishwasher in the form of seven LED flashes at a five-second interval. The appearance of code I70 on the display indicates that the problem is related to the temperature sensor. There may be several reasons: it is burnt out, faulty, or its power supply is interrupted. It cannot be ruled out that faulty electronics caused the Zanussi dishwasher to malfunction. This may be due to the fact that the temperature sensor is no longer recognized.
I80
This The code is displayed on the display of the washing machine or the END light flashes 8 times every 5 seconds. This problem is usually caused by the fact that the firmware of the control module has failed. Also, the I80 could be caused by the fact that this Zanussi module for some reason became inoperative (for example, it burned out).
I90
In this case, the error signal is duplicated by blinking the LED nine times with five-second breaks. Although with I90 we are talking about a malfunction of the control board, the error code indicates that there is a faulty code in the firmware. In order to correct the situation, you need to do a flashing. Replacing the board in the situation under consideration is done in Zanussi only as a last resort.
IA0
The code is displayed on the screen or the LED blinks 10 times, with breaks between them of 5 seconds. The reason for IA0 is that the sprinkler has stopped working. If such a breakdown occurs, you need to check whether the impeller nozzles are clogged. If it is, you need to clean it. This is easy to do using a toothpick.
IB0
Zanussi dishwashers that do not have a display will display this error code by flashing the END LED 11 times. This breakdown can be diagnosed on those machines that have a sensor to determine the purity of the water. In case of IB0 we are talking about a device malfunction. It may stop working because it has completely failed or simply because its lens is clogged. For repairs, it is recommended to inspect the lens and, if necessary, clean it.
IC0
Here the blinking of the light bulb is duplicated by twelve blinks of the LED. In this case, we are talking about a breakdown in the electrical connection between the control panel and the electronic control board. In this case, the opportunity is completely lost interactions with the dishwasher. IC0 cannot be eliminated by itself. Only specialists can do this.
ID0
Corresponds to 13 LED flashes. Here a failure of the engine or tachogenerator is diagnosed. To fix the problem, you need to check their serviceability. You should start by inspecting the serviceability of the contacts and wires. One of the common causes of ID0 is engine breakdown.
In this case, when touching the metal parts of the engine, you can feel a slight electric discharge.
IF0
When this error occurs, the corresponding code appears on the display or the END LED flashes 14 times. The diagnostic system gives this signal when the draining of waste water takes too long. Sometimes, IF0 can be caused by too much foam.
Conclusion
Knowing the error codes used by Zanussi dishwashers will allow you to quickly recognize the error and tell you how to restore the unit's functionality as soon as possible. similar entries from this section
