When using a washing machine, sooner or later there comes a time when the parts begin to wear out. To understand what happened when the machine breaks down, you need to know the codes that appear on the display in such cases. Knowing what the Vestel washing machine error codes mean will help you quickly determine the cause of the breakdown.
Errors E01 – E10
If the washing machine stops working, it means that there is a specific reason that led to the breakdown. In this case, the display will show the error code that occurred. Depending on what actually happened, you can either fix the problem yourself, or you will have to contact the service center.
What to do if the code appears on the display When the code E01 is shown, it means that the drum door was not closed tightly enough. This signal is duplicated by the flashing of the first and second indicator lights. If this happens, it is enough to simply close this door more tightly. After that, you will need to restart the wash.
A situation is possible when even with a tightly closed lid, the same error signal is issued. This indicates that the device that locks the hatch is faulty. In this case, it must be replaced. You can do this yourself.
If water pressure is too low, then the washing machine cannot fill enough water. In such situation code E02 will appear on the display, the first and third indicators will flash.
In this case, first of all, you need to make sure that the water supply tap is open. Another likely cause of the problem is a possible clogged fill valve. In this case, you need to check its mesh and, if there is debris, clean it. To do this you need to do the following:
- Turn off the washing mashine.
- Disconnect the hose through which water is supplied.
- Remove the filler valve strainer and clean it.
Another possible reason is a faulty pressure switch. In this case, you need to open the top cover and find the water level sensor. Need to check:
- his contacts;
- connection to pressure tube;
- inspect the sensor itself.
If necessary, this sensor must be replaced.
Signal E03 indicates a pump malfunction. In this case, it could break or become clogged. The error message is duplicated by the blinking of the first and fourth indicators.
In this case, repairs must begin with cleaning the drain filter. You need to look for it at the bottom of the unit. You need to unscrew it counterclockwise. It must be washed under a strong stream of water. After it is cleaned of dirt, you will need to screw it back.
Replacement is done through the bottom of the washing machine.This does not pose any difficulties.
When display shows code E04, this means that too much water has accumulated in the tank. The same signal is given by the indicators if the second and third of them blink.
The most common cause of this problem is a clogged filling valve. In this case it needs to be replaced. The valve can be immediately seen if you remove the back wall of the machine. It is located at the connection point of the hose through which water enters the machine. Before carrying out work, you must turn off the water supply.
If the reason lies in heating element, it can be easily replaced, if you open the service hatch. To remove this element, simply unscrew the fastening bolt, after which you need to disconnect the electrical wires.
The electric motor rarely breaks down. At the same time, carbon brushes most often deteriorate in it. Although it is possible to replace them yourself, it is better to contact a specialist in such a situation with a problem. He will find the cause of the breakdown and perform the necessary repairs. For example, if it happens that the motor windings burn out, then in this case the motor must be replaced.
Error code E05 indicates that the temperature sensor is faulty or a heating element. The signal is duplicated by blinking of the second and fourth indicators. If this error occurs, it is recommended to contact service for repair.
With error E06 electric motor is faulty. In this case, the indicators give a signal by flashing the third and fourth of them. Such a breakdown cannot be repaired independently.
Code E08 indicates thatthat there was a failure in the electrical network. At the same time, the second, third and fourth lights blink. Although this problem is not directly related to the washing machine, it can cause it to malfunction. In this case, it is better to disconnect from the network for a while and continue working if the network is stable.
The display will show code E09 in the event that the voltage in the network deviates from the normal level. Within certain limits, the washing machine can work normally, but this increases the risk of possible breakdown. The signal is duplicated by blinking of the first, second and fourth indicators.
If a violation has occurred in the communication system of the washing machine, it is recommended to perform a diagnostic reboot lasting approximately twenty minutes. If the same code is displayed as a result, this indicates the need to contact a service center for repair. The failure code in this case will be E10. The indicators will duplicate this signal by blinking the first, third and fourth lights.
Conclusion
Knowing the error codes will allow you to find out the exact cause of the breakdown and carry out repairs yourself or by contacting a service center.
