Daewoo washing machine error codes - what to do

Daewoo washing machines are not popular in Russia, but their model range is distinguished by certain features that other brands do not have. These machines are compact in size, can be mounted on a wall, and conventional units are also available as standard. Before starting repair work on a unit that has refused to work, it is recommended that you study the error codes of your Daewoo washing machine. True, first of all, the possibility of failures in the operation of communication systems should be eliminated.

Basic error codes for Daewoo washing machines

Let's try to figure out what errors are most often displayed by the screen of a washing machine of this brand:

• OE – this code informs the user that water is not pouring out of the tank of the washing device. For what reasons does this error appear? The drain pump has probably failed, or the problem lies in its wiring and contacts. The drain filter, pipes, and drain hose could be clogged. It is worth adding that the last specified element may be jammed or simply connected incorrectly;
• IE – water does not fill into the tank of the Daewoo washing device, or the process is quite slow. This error code does not mean that the Daewoo washing machine is out of order. There is a possibility that you did not open the tap that supplies water from the pipe. In this case, make sure this is not the case.The second reason is that there is no water in the water supply, or its pressure is not strong enough. This can also be checked simply by opening the washbasin tap. All that remains is to call the housing department and find out when everything will return to normal. The next step should be to check the filling filter, which may become clogged with rust, preventing it from drawing water. To check this, the water supply is turned off, the drain hose is unscrewed from the machine, and the filter mesh is checked. In addition, the error code may indicate a failure of the inlet valve or the sensor responsible for the fluid level;
• UE – imbalance in the tank. Probably, the laundry you loaded has gotten into a clump. You will have to stop the work process, open the door, and distribute things evenly. In addition, the reasons for the appearance of such a signal code include incorrect installation of the unit and the need to adjust its legs. Give the Daewoo a gentle push. If it sways, adjust the legs or move the unit to another place;
• LE – the loading door is not closed tightly, or the locking device is faulty. This code comes on when the door is skewed or not closed correctly. But there is a possibility that the locking mechanism is broken and the hatch is not locked. It will have to be replaced;
• E6 - this code indicates an EMG error. This happens when things get jammed between the drum and the rubber gasket, or when the electric motor or the board responsible for general control malfunctions. You will have to either arrange things evenly or check the functionality of the motor and board;
• E8 – loading sensor is broken. It will have to be replaced with a new analogue;
• E9 – this error code indicates a breakdown of the sensor that monitors the liquid level.It is necessary to check the pressure switch tubes to make sure that their connections are tight. If everything is in order, we check the functionality of the sensor and, if necessary, replace it with a new element;
• H6 – with this code, the Daewoo machine signals that there is a break in the electrical circuit. We check all the wiring suitable for the heating element and change the heating element if necessary.

Basic faults

The following problems often occur with a Daewoo washing machine:

• the control unit fails, after which the operating cycle of the machine increases, and stoppages may occur during the washing process;
• the device responsible for the water level in a Daewoo washing mashine fails;
• blockage in the filler filter;
• The temperature sensor breaks down, the water doesn’t heat up well, the machine stops;
• drive belt wear;
• the heating element burned out due to scale accumulated on its surface;
• a leak appeared in the rubber cuff of the tank.

Preventative tips

• to check the Daewoo machine or eliminate a breakdown due to an error code signal, the unit should be disconnected from the electrical network;
• During operation, water should not get on the Daewoo machine;
• Before starting washing, you must make sure that there are no foreign objects or powder residues in the detergent tray;
• Check the filler filter regularly for blockages.
