Candy washing machine errors without a display

Candy washing machine errors without a display It's very convenient that the error code in modern washing machines appears directly on the display, informing the user of the cause of the problem. Owners of machines without a display have the worst time, as decoding the error codes is more difficult. However, error codes for Candy washing machines without a display are also easy to identify if you have the user manual or internet access. These "home helpers" provide enhanced error notifications, so to identify the problem, you need to watch the blinking lights. We'll list the main errors that users may see and offer advice on how to interpret them correctly.

The principle of code definition

While a digital error code on the display is certainly convenient, the number of LED flashes can also be a very easy way to determine the problem. It is enough to simply count how many times the lights come on and go out, which will provide the key to recognizing the problem. The main thing to consider is the Candy series of home appliances, as different models display errors differently.

Candy Grand. On this machine, you need to examine the light located near the button responsible for intensive washing (the mode icon looks like a stained shirt), as well as the light on the leftmost indicator in the countdown display (usually the indicator near the number "90").
Candy Smart. In this series, you need to monitor the indicator next to the intensive wash button, as well as the top light in the indicator system displaying the remaining time, either next to "90" or next to "Start."
Candy Optima. It's even simpler here, as you only need to pay attention to the light next to the button that controls the cold water wash cycle (the snowflake icon).
Candy Aquamatic. The situation is similar to the previous series – you need to examine the indicator next to the cold wash button.

It may seem difficult to identify error codes without a display, but this isn't the case. The error codes in Candy washing machines without a display are much simpler to identify than those in other brands of "home helpers" without a display. Let's move on to identifying the most common errors to quickly identify the problem with your equipment.

Identifying errors

Correct error identification directly depends on the correct identification of the indicator lights and the intervals between indications. The basic list of signals that the CM can send you is quite long.

E1 (E01, Err 1, Error 1). The indicator flashes once every five seconds. This alerts the user that the sunroof door is not locked. This is caused by damaged wiring, a faulty electronic controller, or a malfunction of the sunroof locking system.
E2 (E02, Err 02, Error 2). The indicator light flashes twice every five seconds. This indicates there is no water entering the tank, the water is filling too slowly, or, conversely, too quickly. In this case, you should check the inlet hose, the water inlet valve, the pressure switch, its connections, the washing machine's control board, or the water supply in the house.
E3 (E03, Err 3, Error 3). The indicator flashes three times every five seconds. This error code indicates excessively slow or no water drainage. Typically caused by a clogged drain system, a damaged drain pump, or a faulty liquid level sensor.
E4 (E04, Err 04, Error 04). The indicator flashes four times every five seconds. This code typically appears three minutes after the tank fills excessively. It most often occurs due to a damaged fill valve, faulty wiring, or a faulty tachometer.
E5 (E05, Err 5, Error 5). The indicator flashes five times every five seconds. Indicates a lack of water heating due to damage to the temperature sensor, heating element, controller, or wash mode selector.
E6 (E06, Err 6, Error 6). The indicator flashes six times every five seconds. Failure due to a malfunction of the control module.
E7 (E07, Err 7, ERROR 7). The indicator flashes seven times every five seconds. This appears after the washing machine has attempted to start the motor three times, and the motor is spinning excessively fast. This occurs due to damage to the tachogenerator or its circuit.
E9 (E09, Err 9, Error 09). The indicator flashes nine times every five seconds. There is no rotation of the drum, which may be due to damage to the electric motor.

Don't rush to determine the fault code; instead, carefully observe the machine's behavior for a while to accurately determine the number of signals the washing machine is sending you, and avoid accidentally repairing a faulty component.

E10 (Err 10, Error 10). The indicator flashes ten times every five seconds. This indicates a motor failure, which may be caused by a faulty program selector or motor connections.
E11 (Err11, Error 11). The indicator flashes eleven times every five seconds. This indicates a lack of drying, or obvious problems with it, which can only occur in models with a drying function, such as the GVSW40364TWHC-07. This error occurs due to a faulty dryer heater, drying temperature sensor, or heating element, its contacts, or circuits.
E12 (Err 12, Error 12, EC). The indicator flashes twelve times every five seconds. This error code is only for washing machines with a drying mode. It occurs when the drying mode does not match the selected cycle. It occurs due to an open circuit in the heating element temperature sensor, a one-time failure in the control module, or a loss of communication between the indicator system and the control board.
E15 (Err15, Error 15). The indicator light flashes fifteen times every five seconds. This occurs due to a faulty control module, causing the machine to make no sound and unable to run any programs.
E16 (Err16, Error 16). The indicator flashes sixteen times every five seconds. If the appliance is unable to heat water at all or to the selected temperature, either the water heating element or the control module is faulty.
E17 (Err17, Error 17). The indicator flashes seventeen times every five seconds. The drum is not rotating, or is rotating excessively. This means the tachometer is not working, either due to a broken power cord or poor contact.
E18 (Err18, Error 18). The indicator flashes eighteen times every five seconds. Occurs when the cycle ends abruptly or when the cycle fails to start. Like many other error codes, it appears when the control module is damaged.
E20, E21 (Err20, Err 21, Error 20, Error 21). The indicator flashes twenty or twenty-one times every five seconds. This appears after the wash cycle has stopped and the waste liquid cannot be drained. This could be due to a clogged drain system or a damaged pressure switch that determines the water level in the drum.
E22 (Err 22, Error 22). The indicator flashes twenty-two times every five seconds. The selected cycle is interrupted mid-cycle, water is drawn in and drained, or the water does not heat up during the wash cycle. This behavior occurs due to damage to the inlet valve, control module, water level sensor, or the water heating element, its contacts, or wiring.
