How to conduct a test?

To make a test check of a machine when it crashes, you need to perform the following series of actions:

• Login to the Bauknecht service:
  1. Turn on the program to drain the water.
  2. Cancel the action of the program.
  3. Select a drain program a second time, but do not turn it on yet.
  4. Press the soaking function button 4 times (within 5 seconds).
  5. If necessary, you can skip the step by double-clicking on the soak function.

Important! Test step: filling, rotation mode, heating, drain mode, spin mode.

• Login to the Domino service:
  1. See if the door of the washing machine is closed.
  2. Select a mode to drain the water.
  3. Press the Reset button 4 times.
  4. If necessary, skip the step, to do this, press the same button 2 times.

After the progress of such operations on the screen you will see a failure code.

Error codes for washing machines Whirpool

As soon as the value appears on the display, you need to understand what exactly it informs you of. To do this, you need to know what the error codes of the SMA Virpul mean.

FH Failure

The cause of the error: the water level controller has stopped working.

To reset this error, press “PAUSE / CANCEL” 2 times. If there is no water in the washing machine:

1. Inspection of the water supply device - it may be open.
2. Inspection of the water transfer hose and inlet valve.

If there is water in the machine, you will need these steps:

1. Drain pump diagnostics.
2. Inspection of the sensor tube to measure the water level. See if it is connected to the pressure sensor and drum.
3. Look at the siphon, there may be a problem in it.
4. Inspection of the connection of the wiring harness with the intake valve, water level meter, central control panel (CPU), drain pump.
5. Perhaps your hoses are leaking - be sure to check for cracks. If necessary, use our instructions toreplace drain hose.
6. Adjusting the water quantity regulator, if it does not work, then the unit gives an error precisely because of it.
7. Checking the functioning of the CPU.

Fault Code F02

Reason: the draining process takes too long - for the first 4 minutes the code “Sud” is displayed on the screen, then the value F02 appears on the screen.

Reset the error by pressing “PAUSE / CANCEL” two times.

What needs to be done in order to fix the problem:

1. Testing the performance of the drain hose, maybe it is bent somewhere or clogged with something.
2. Inspection of electrical contacts of the pump and the pump itself.
3. If the drain pump filter is clogged, then such a malfunction may occur precisely due to a filter breakdown.

Important! When you completed all the operations and saw the same CMA Virpul error, it is worth replacing the drain pump.

Program Fault Code F05

Reason: Incorrect operation of the temperature controller.

Actions:

1. Testing the temperature controller, heating element (TENA) and the relay of the heating element.
2. The durability of the connection of the sensor with the heating element and the relay is also worth examining.

Important! The problem with the heater of the washing machine is one of the most common. But it is easy to prevent it, and for this you do not need to perform complex actions or buy expensive money. It is enough just to regularly use a cheap tool to remove scale and dirt. Learn how to apply citric acid for cleaning SMA.

Code F06

The culprit in the appearance of such an error code SMA Virpul is a malfunction in the operation of the engine tachometer.

How can I fix it:

1. Checking the connection of the electric motor and the motor control panel, as well as the motor control panel and the CPU.
2. Testing the motor.
3. Inspection of the engine control panel.
4. Inspection of wiring.

Fault program wash code F07

If the error codes of the SMA Virpul give you this value, a failure has occurred in the motor control panel.

How to normalize the motor control panel:

1. Check the wiring and motor control panel, as well as the connection of wires between this panel and the center.
2. It is necessary to check the engine control panel itself, the engine and the wiring.

Code F09

The culprit is the overflowing tank of the washing machine.

Further actions:

1. Checking the drain hose, connecting the wiring to the water drain, pressure sensor or switch and central control panel.
2. Check / clean the filter in the drain if it is clogged.
3. Repair the drain pump (if it is broken).
4. Check the intake valve (or rather, the density of its closure).
5. Testing the correct operation of the pressure sensor.

Important! If the wash cycle is not already running, it may help to simply remove excess laundry from the drum. To accurately verify the required number of things, use our instructions for calculating the weight of laundry.

Error Code F10

The reason is in the motor control unit - the heat absorption device has worked.

Further actions:

1. Diagnosing problems after installing the unit. It is also worth checking if the washing machine is standing near a heat source and if there is good ventilation.
2. Checking the connection of the harness and motor control to the central control panel (CPU). All moving parts of the machine are inspected for operability.
3. Control Panel Diagnostics motor and the motor itself.

Code F11

Reason: component collaboration failed. The transmission of information between the CPU and motor control is broken.

How to set up the machine:

1. Checking the connection of the harness with the engine control panel, with the engine and the CPU.
2. Check: moving elements for wear and performance, engine control panels, main control panel of the machine, engine and wiring.

Fault Fault Code F13

Reason: the dispenser operation scheme was violated.

What is needed for the proper functioning of the dispenser:

1. Checking the metering motor and the top of the metering unit for any damage.
2. Checking the wiring harness between the dispenser (dispenser) motor and the CPU.
3. Complete dispenser check.

Code F14

Origin: Crash in energy-dependent memory.

How to resume the operation of the machine and remove such an error code for the SMA Virpul:

1. A similar failure can occur due to a change in voltage. Turn off the machine for a couple of minutes, maybe the code will disappear.
2. Next is to check the CPU.

Important! To continue to eliminate the occurrence of such an error, view our review of uninterruptible power supplies and select best surge protector for household appliances.

Code F15

Reason: There was a problem in the motor control.

Further actions:

1. Checking the strength of the harness mounting between the motor control, the motor itself and the CPU.
2. Inspection of the belt on the motor, motor control, inspection of the motor itself and wiring.

Crash called “Sud”

Reason: when too much foam appears, the protective function of locking the device for washing things is activated.

Important! If you have added too much detergent, you need to start “Rinse / Spin” (rinse and spin process), and then set the normal washing process without adding any detergent. This will clean the machine from a lot of foam powders and gels. In the future, try to more accurately calculate the dosage of detergents and choose better ones. And to solve the problem faster, our articles will help you:

• How much powder to pour into the washing machine?
• Best Laundry Products.

Verification Steps:

1. Full inspection of the drain hose.
2. Checking the wiring contacts of the drain pump and the CPU.
3. Inspection of the drain pump filter and its cleaning.
4. Complete diagnostics of the drain pump, water level sensor and CPU.

FdL / FdU Error

Reason: The problem is in blocking and opening the hatch door.

Steps to help sort out this error:

1. In case of breakage of the door lock mechanism, it must be repaired.
2. Inspection of the door lock unit, switch and controller.
3. Inspection of the wiring contacts of the drain pump, pressure regulator and CPU.
