No matter how carefully we treat household appliances and equipment, they all tend to break. And, as a rule, this happens at the most inopportune moment. Among other “household helpers,” dishwashers are often used. Depending on the manufacturer, operating conditions and proper use, the equipment lasts for the prescribed period or even longer. A number of reasons can cause a breakdown, as indicated by the device. So, for example, the main errors of the Korting dishwasher consist in the supply or drainage of water, failure of sensors.
Reasons for device malfunction
The main factor in failure is time. Despite the fact that the declared service life of a machine is on average 7-10 years, you can see the error code on the display much earlier. If this happens during the warranty period, the service center will send a specialist to repair it, otherwise the repair will fall on the shoulders of the owners.
Manufacturers' warranties allow owners not to worry about repairs and further serviceability dishwasher. But any user will need to decipher the codes. To explain the reasons for a breakdown or repair if the warranty period has expired, you should present the scale of the problem that has arisen and how to eliminate it. If the error is in the supply of washer mixture, then most likely you can fix it yourself.
Dishwasher Korting
The German brand has long been famous for its reliability and durability. Functionality and the ability to multitask are the qualities that have been appreciated on the Russian market. Users dishwashers Corting note their reliability and full compliance with the characteristics of the device declared by the manufacturer.
New models have a convenient interface that gives the user hints about errors in operation. As soon as the machine stops functioning properly or the water pressure is not good enough for it to work, the voltage is weak, then the screen shows an error.
The operating instructions for the machine will tell you what the information on the monitor means and what to do with it. Typically, with reliable Korting technology, you don't have to worry about replacing key components. But there are errors that should be corrected in a workshop or by calling a specialist to your home.
All Korting dishwashers have a similar error indicator. If the model is an older model, without a panel, then the device will inform the owner about the problem by quickly flashing the LED light opposite any of the function start buttons.
Error code and its interpretation
So, what to do if there is a slight collapse in the work of your favorite “assistant”? The first step is to reset the error. To do this, simply disconnect the machine from the power supply. This will reboot the device and allow it to clear the error code.
The four main error codes for Korting machines, signaling problems in the operation of the unit, are described in the instructions for the equipment. It is possible to cope with the error and fix the problem yourself if you have the skills to use tools.
Code E1 appeared on the display - this error means that the chamber of the Korting machine will not be able to fill with hot water due to the lack of liquid supply to the system. The reason may be an incorrect connection, a broken water level sensor, errors in the electrical wiring, or a malfunction of the digital plateau.
What to do if such an error occurs? First you need to check whether there is water in the system; the city authorities could simply turn it off during maintenance work, or the supply valve is closed directly at the connection point of the machine. There may be a blockage in the inlet filter. In this case, you should remove the weed plug yourself by unscrewing the hose from the housing and rinsing the filter under running water.
Do not rule out that the machine is connected incorrectly if this is the first time it is turned on. Kinked and pinched hoses will not be able to supply enough water, which will inevitably cause a malfunction signal.
Code E2 is an error warning that it is impossible to drain waste water. The Korting dishwasher indicates one of the problems:
- incorrect, twisted position of the drain hose, possible bending;
- clogged drainage filter: to avoid this, you should clean the dishes from solid food residues, napkins, etc.;
- drain pump malfunction;
- pump clogged;
- the code also appears when the pressure switch or triac system burns out and needs to be replaced;
Before troubleshooting yourself, the machine must be disconnected from the power source and water supply. Flushing the drain hose and cleaning the filter are perhaps the only measures to eliminate the error. But, besides this, you need to make sure that the wiring of the machine is working correctly using a multimeter. Some of the recommendations cannot be carried out with the ability to handle tools, for example, to clean the pump you need to disassemble the machine body.
The E4 code signal warns that the Korting dishwasher does not detect the water supply and is overflowing. Most likely, the float sensor failed, which caused the Aquastop system to activate. Measures to eliminate the error will include replacing worn-out pipes and gaskets, changing the sealing rubber and diagnosing the machine's fluid fill sensor. Also, special attention should be paid to the condition of the water supply hoses.
E8 - an error code for the flow sensor or its breakdown occurs if the machine does not perform its functions at full capacity. The reasons may be burnt out wiring, control module or broken wire connections. Also, blocking the rotation of the spray arm with dishes inside the chamber displays the E8 code on the display. Repair work consists of replacing the wiring and control module, checking the insulation inside the dishwasher.
