Error E01 in Candy washing machine

Error E01 in a Candy washing machine can indicate either a temporary malfunction or a serious breakdown. In the former case, simply unplug the machine and wait about 10 minutes, after which the code will disappear. What should you do if the error persists? Contact a technician to determine the cause and troubleshoot the problem.

Features of the cipher's manifestation

Error E01 is most often displayed in Candy washing machines at the very beginning of the wash cycle. The user places dirty laundry in the drum and closes the door, but after selecting the desired mode and starting the machine, the door doesn't lock. The E01 code appears on the screen. Depending on the model line, the error may appear in different ways: E1, Err1, Error1, etc.

For Candy appliances without a display, pay attention to the indicator lights. If an error occurs, the light will flash once, followed by a long pause (up to 15 seconds), and then the LED will flash again. The specific indicator light that illuminates during an error depends on the appliance model. In the Grand line, the washing machine displays the E01 code via the "Intensive Wash" mode LED and the first left LED in the wash time display (in most cases, this is "90").

Smart line models are indicated by an "Intensive Wash" indicator and a top LED indicating the countdown timer. This is most often "90" or "Start." In Holiday and Aquamatic models, the cold wash cycle indicator blinks.

Important! The intensive wash cycle is indicated by a shirt image, while the cold wash cycle is indicated by a snowflake.

Meaning of the code

Error E01, displayed on the washing machine's display or via the indicator, indicates a problem with the door lock. First, we recommend opening and closing the door. Often, users don't close the door tightly enough before starting the machine, causing the error. If these steps fail and the E01 error code cannot be reset, the machine is faulty and requires repair.

Most often, the LED flashes immediately after the device is turned on and a specific mode is selected. Much less frequently, the error occurs at other stages and indicates the presence of the following malfunctions:

• The hatch locking device is faulty. Replacing the element with a new one can fix the problem.
• Problems with the control unit. Diagnostics are required to determine the cause of the malfunction. If the damage is serious, the entire unit is replaced; if not, individual parts are replaced or repaired.
• Damage to the wiring or contacts. The entire wire is replaced or repaired, and the contacts are resoldered.

Damaged wiring in washing machines is a common problem among summer residents and homeowners. Wires can also be damaged if the machine vibrates excessively during the wash cycle. A technician can repair the wiring, and the E01 error will no longer appear.
