    Error Code F01 or F02: Water/Heating NTC or Leads Short-Circuited

    Symptom:
    After this fault is registered, the heating will not be activated and rinse aid will
    not be dispensed.

    Cause:
    NTC temperature sensor R30 or its connection leads short-circuited or open-circuited.
    Remedy:

    1. Check the temperature sensor and its leads for continuity. At 68°F (20°C),
      the temperature sensor resistance should be approximately 14.9k
      (± 750); at 77°F (25°C), approximately 12k (± 600) (guide figures only).
    2. Check the plug connections.
    3. Replace the temperature sensor, if necessary.

    Error Code F11: Drainage Fault

    Symptom:
    Water present in an appliance and is not being drained off.

    Background information:
    After each drain pump step, the circulation pump operates for 2 seconds and heater pressure switch B1/13 checks the water level. If it is too high (large quantity of residual water remaining in the cabinet), the drainage time is extended. If, after a further check, the water level is still too high, then the program is interrupted, the fault code is saved and the drain pump is activated.

    Fault code F11 is also registered if heater relay 1K1 is not activated after the fault code F51 register check.

    • Drain hose kinked
    • Drain blocked.
    • Ball in non-return valve in the sump has not opened (e.g., jammed).
    • Foreign objects in heater pressure switch.
    • Heater relay defective.
    • Heater relay (coil or contacts) becomes defective during the drainage step (after fault code F51 register check).

    Error Code F12: Water Intake Fault at Start of Step

    Symptom:
    During the first 5 seconds of any water intake step, at least 15 pulses from flow meter B3/4 should be registered. If this given number of pulses is not detected, the display reads Water inlet fault and/or the “Intake/Drain” LED flashes (depending on model). The water inlet valve will be activated at 10-second intervals for one hour. The drain pump will also be activated at intervals to prevent the possibility of the appliance overflowing. All other components remain inactive. If these attempts to achieve the minimum pulse rate fail, the buzzer is activated for 2 minutes.

    • On-site shutoff valve (water supply) closed
    • On-site water supply not in order (water pressure below 14.5 pounds per square inch)
    • Water inlet valve defective
    • Flow meter B3/4 is not providing any pulses
    1. Remove the left side panel.
    2. Check that the circuit board with reed switch on flow meter B3/4 is seated
      correctly.
    3. Check that the reed switch connection plug is seated correctly.
    4. Replace the reed switch, if necessary.
    5. Check the flow meter for pulses.
      a. While the appliance is in operation and no pulses are delivered, take a
      magnet and pass it over the reed switch. If a pulse is then delivered,
      replace the water diverter. If no pulse, replace the reed switch.
      b. While the appliance is in operation and pulses are delivered,
      reconnect the electrical connector to the electronic board, clear the fault and operate the appliance. If an F12 is still displayed, replace the electronic board.
    6. Check the control lead from the electronic to flow meter B3/4.
    7. Replace the water diverter, if necessary.
    • Flow meter electrical connection open-circuited
    1. Check the wires to the flow meter reed switch for continuity.
    2. Check the plug connections.

    Error Code F13: Water Intake Fault at End of Step

    Symptom:
    The program is interrupted and the drain pump is operated. After approximately 2 to 4 minutes, the buzzer is activated for 2 minutes.

    Background information:
    This fault is registered when the desired number of pulses, which varies depending on the program, has not been detected within a certain given time (maximum 4 minutes).
    If the selected program starts with a water softener flushing cycle, the fault code register check is carried out earlier. In the event of a fault, the selected program is interrupted after approximately 30 seconds and the fault is indicated.

    • On-site water supply not in order
    • Water inlet valve defective
    • Flow meter B3/4 is providing too few pulses

    Error Code F14: Water Intake Fault: Heater Pressure Switch

    Symptom:
    The program is interrupted and the drain pump is operated.
    See Table 080-3 for model-specific fault indications.

    Background information:
    With the circulation pump operating after a water
    intake step, the heater pressure switch is checked to ensure that sufficient
    water pressure exists in the wash water circuit. For this the heater relay must
    have been activated.

    Advertisement
    • During a heating step the heater pressure switch may have registered no or insufficient water pressure at the circulation pump.
    • Heater pressure switch B1/13 defective or blocked by foreign objects.
    • Circulation pump inoperative. Circulation pressure too low (no pressure at heater pressure switch). Pump may be blocked by foreign objects.
    • Flow meter B3/4 defective (incorrect water quantity registered).
    • Circulation pump winding overheated; winding protection has cut out.
    • After a water intake step, heater pressure switch B1/13 has not opened switching steps 11–12 and 21–22. This causes the anti-stiction routine to be started.

    Error Code F15: Water Intake Fault – Hot Water

    Intake temperature of the hot-water connection is too cold (below 100°F).

    Error Code F18: Flow Meter Stationary State Monitor B3/4

    Background information:
    The water inlet valve is open when it should not be (a signal to open it has not been given by the electronic). Water then flows into the appliance and unexpected pulses from the flow meter are detected. Unexpected pulses from the flow meter are also detected when the water inlet valve is not activated.

    Error Code F19: Flow Meter B3/4 Stiff and Not Turning Freely

    Flow meter defective

    Error Code F24: Heater Relay Contact

    • Heater relay contacts have fused together
    • Moisture in heater relay
    • Fault in the plug on the output side of the heater relay. Contamination or corrosion on the plug of the heater wiring harness can cause a bridge between contacts, which can reduce the transfer resistance below a value of 10 megaohms

    Error Code F25: Target Temperature Fault

    Background information:
    During the heating stage, the desired temperature
    has not been reached within the given time (minimum 75 minutes). In
    subsequent wash blocks, after this fault has been registered, the heater is not
    activated and no rinse aid is dispensed.

    • Heater defective.
    • Heater relay defective.
    • Excess quantity of detergent or rinse aid dispensed. Excess foam has developed. Excess foam can cause a drop in water flow pressure, directly affecting the Heater pressure switch.

    Error Code F26: Boiling Protection

    • Temperature at NTC temperature sensor has exceeded 194°F (90°C).
    • NTC temperature sensor providing inaccurate information
    • Heater relay closed

    (such as a hardware fault).

    Error Code F42: Line Frequency Registration Fault

    Main power supply not in order. A check is carried out to ensure that the line frequency is within certain valid ranges (50 ± 5 Hz or 60 ± 5 Hz). This fault is registered when it cannot clearly be established which valid range is applicable

    Error Code F47: Faulty Interface Between Selection-Display
    Electronic (BAE) & Control-Power Electronic (SLT)

    • Communication between BAE and SLT faulty

    Error Code F51: Heater Pressure Switch

    One second after program start, heater relay K1/1 is activated. This enables a check as to whether the contacts on heater pressure switch B1/13 have closed on switching steps 21/22 or 11/12. If the electronic receives no power, an F51 fault is stored.

    • Heater relay defective; contact open.
    • Heater relay solenoid defective
    • Connection from heater relay to electronic is open-circuited
    • Heater pressure switch open- or short-circuited.
    • Foreign objects in heater pressure switch

    Symptom:
    After this fault is registered, the heating will not be activated and rinse aid will
    not be dispensed.

    Advertisement

    Cause:
    NTC temperature sensor R30 or its connection leads short-circuited or open-circuited.
    Remedy:

    1. Check the temperature sensor and its leads for continuity. At 68°F (20°C),
      the temperature sensor resistance should be approximately 14.9k
      (± 750); at 77°F (25°C), approximately 12k (± 600) (guide figures only).
    2. Check the plug connections.
    3. Replace the temperature sensor, if necessary.

    Error Code F11: Drainage Fault

    Symptom:
    Water present in an appliance and is not being drained off.

    Background information:
    After each drain pump step, the circulation pump operates for 2 seconds and heater pressure switch B1/13 checks the water level. If it is too high (large quantity of residual water remaining in the cabinet), the drainage time is extended. If, after a further check, the water level is still too high, then the program is interrupted, the fault code is saved and the drain pump is activated.

    Fault code F11 is also registered if heater relay 1K1 is not activated after the fault code F51 register check.

    • Drain hose kinked
    • Drain blocked.
    • Ball in non-return valve in the sump has not opened (e.g., jammed).
    • Foreign objects in heater pressure switch.
    • Heater relay defective.
    • Heater relay (coil or contacts) becomes defective during the drainage step (after fault code F51 register check).

    Error Code F12: Water Intake Fault at Start of Step

    Symptom:
    During the first 5 seconds of any water intake step, at least 15 pulses from flow meter B3/4 should be registered. If this given number of pulses is not detected, the display reads Water inlet fault and/or the “Intake/Drain” LED flashes (depending on model). The water inlet valve will be activated at 10-second intervals for one hour. The drain pump will also be activated at intervals to prevent the possibility of the appliance overflowing. All other components remain inactive. If these attempts to achieve the minimum pulse rate fail, the buzzer is activated for 2 minutes.

    • On-site shutoff valve (water supply) closed
    • On-site water supply not in order (water pressure below 14.5 pounds per square inch)
    • Water inlet valve defective
    • Flow meter B3/4 is not providing any pulses
    1. Remove the left side panel.
    2. Check that the circuit board with reed switch on flow meter B3/4 is seated
      correctly.
    3. Check that the reed switch connection plug is seated correctly.
    4. Replace the reed switch, if necessary.
    5. Check the flow meter for pulses.
      a. While the appliance is in operation and no pulses are delivered, take a
      magnet and pass it over the reed switch. If a pulse is then delivered,
      replace the water diverter. If no pulse, replace the reed switch.
      b. While the appliance is in operation and pulses are delivered,
      reconnect the electrical connector to the electronic board, clear the fault and operate the appliance. If an F12 is still displayed, replace the electronic board.
    6. Check the control lead from the electronic to flow meter B3/4.
    7. Replace the water diverter, if necessary.
    • Flow meter electrical connection open-circuited
    1. Check the wires to the flow meter reed switch for continuity.
    2. Check the plug connections.

    Error Code F13: Water Intake Fault at End of Step

    Symptom:
    The program is interrupted and the drain pump is operated. After approximately 2 to 4 minutes, the buzzer is activated for 2 minutes.

    Background information:
    This fault is registered when the desired number of pulses, which varies depending on the program, has not been detected within a certain given time (maximum 4 minutes).
    If the selected program starts with a water softener flushing cycle, the fault code register check is carried out earlier. In the event of a fault, the selected program is interrupted after approximately 30 seconds and the fault is indicated.

    • On-site water supply not in order
    • Water inlet valve defective
    • Flow meter B3/4 is providing too few pulses

    Error Code F14: Water Intake Fault: Heater Pressure Switch

    Symptom:
    The program is interrupted and the drain pump is operated.
    See Table 080-3 for model-specific fault indications.

    Background information:
    With the circulation pump operating after a water
    intake step, the heater pressure switch is checked to ensure that sufficient
    water pressure exists in the wash water circuit. For this the heater relay must
    have been activated.

    • During a heating step the heater pressure switch may have registered no or insufficient water pressure at the circulation pump.
    • Heater pressure switch B1/13 defective or blocked by foreign objects.
    • Circulation pump inoperative. Circulation pressure too low (no pressure at heater pressure switch). Pump may be blocked by foreign objects.
    • Flow meter B3/4 defective (incorrect water quantity registered).
    • Circulation pump winding overheated; winding protection has cut out.
    • After a water intake step, heater pressure switch B1/13 has not opened switching steps 11–12 and 21–22. This causes the anti-stiction routine to be started.

    Error Code F15: Water Intake Fault – Hot Water

    Intake temperature of the hot-water connection is too cold (below 100°F).

    Error Code F18: Flow Meter Stationary State Monitor B3/4

    Background information:
    The water inlet valve is open when it should not be (a signal to open it has not been given by the electronic). Water then flows into the appliance and unexpected pulses from the flow meter are detected. Unexpected pulses from the flow meter are also detected when the water inlet valve is not activated.

    Advertisement

    Error Code F19: Flow Meter B3/4 Stiff and Not Turning Freely

    Flow meter defective

    Error Code F24: Heater Relay Contact

    • Heater relay contacts have fused together
    • Moisture in heater relay
    • Fault in the plug on the output side of the heater relay. Contamination or corrosion on the plug of the heater wiring harness can cause a bridge between contacts, which can reduce the transfer resistance below a value of 10 megaohms

    Error Code F25: Target Temperature Fault

    Background information:
    During the heating stage, the desired temperature
    has not been reached within the given time (minimum 75 minutes). In
    subsequent wash blocks, after this fault has been registered, the heater is not
    activated and no rinse aid is dispensed.

    • Heater defective.
    • Heater relay defective.
    • Excess quantity of detergent or rinse aid dispensed. Excess foam has developed. Excess foam can cause a drop in water flow pressure, directly affecting the Heater pressure switch.

    Error Code F26: Boiling Protection

    • Temperature at NTC temperature sensor has exceeded 194°F (90°C).
    • NTC temperature sensor providing inaccurate information
    • Heater relay closed

    Error Code F32: Door Lock Does Not Close

    (such as a hardware fault).

    Error Code F42: Line Frequency Registration Fault

    Main power supply not in order. A check is carried out to ensure that the line frequency is within certain valid ranges (50 ± 5 Hz or 60 ± 5 Hz). This fault is registered when it cannot clearly be established which valid range is applicable

    Error Code F47: Faulty Interface Between Selection-Display
    Electronic (BAE) & Control-Power Electronic (SLT)

    • Communication between BAE and SLT faulty

    Error Code F51: Heater Pressure Switch

    One second after program start, heater relay K1/1 is activated. This enables a check as to whether the contacts on heater pressure switch B1/13 have closed on switching steps 21/22 or 11/12. If the electronic receives no power, an F51 fault is stored.

    • Heater relay defective; contact open.
    • Heater relay solenoid defective
    • Connection from heater relay to electronic is open-circuited
    • Heater pressure switch open- or short-circuited.
    • Foreign objects in heater pressure switch

    • Circulation pump stiff and not turning freely
    • Speed sensor defective.
    • Circulation pump capacitor defective

    Error Code F68: Circulation Pump Operating After Shutoff

    Background information:
    The speed sensor registers that the circulation pump is still operating even after it has been switched off. The frequency converter of the pump registers a speed signal from the
    electronic, so a target speed is set.

    • Speed sensor defective
    • Electronic defective.

    Error Code F69: Circulation Pump Blocked

    With the circulation pump operating, the heater pressure switch contacts are checked. For this, the heater relay must have been activated and both electronic’s inputs must be potential-free.
