Sud

Suds Error — too many suds detected. Machine adds a Suds Reducing cycle (adds approximately 2 hours to cycle time). If too many suds detected during spinning, machine stops to prevent leaking.

Pressure Sensor Error — PRESSURE SENSOR ASSEMBLY is out of order; water level frequency consistently below 10 kHz or over 30 kHz. Note: PE error will not disappear when START/PAUSE is pressed; if unresolved within 20 seconds power turns off and error blinks.

Locked Motor Error — motor or motor harness fault.

Overflow Error — water is overflowing; water level frequency is over 21.3 kHz. Note: when FE is displayed, the drain pump will operate automatically to drain water. Power will NOT be turned off automatically.

dE2

Door Open Error (variant) — door switch circuit fault, same root causes as dE1.

EEPROM Error — EEPROM is out of order. Displayed only when START/PAUSE button is first pressed in Load Test Mode.

Power Failure — power supply was interrupted while washing machine was in operation, then power was rapidly restored.

Water Inlet Error — correct water level (24.6 kHz) not reached within 8 minutes after water is supplied, or does not reach preset water level within 20 minutes.
