Kaiser Washing Machine Errors

Modern automatic washing machines, equipped with self-diagnostics, immediately alert users to the slightest system malfunction. Washing machines with displays display information on the screen. Machines without displays flash their indicators in a specific pattern. By decoding Kaiser washing machine error codes, you can quickly respond to a malfunction and repair your "home helper." We'll explain which error codes indicate which malfunction and how to fix the problem yourself.

Codes for cars with the TE prefix in the name

If your Kaiser washing machine suddenly stops working, it's important to determine the cause as quickly as possible. Modern technology can assist the user by displaying an error message indicating the problem. You can find out what malfunction a particular code indicates in the washing machine's instructions.

The self-diagnostic system allows you to narrow down the range of possible faults, thereby facilitating the task of finding and fixing the problem.

Kaiser automatic washing machines with the Logic Control system (models ending in "Te" in their names, such as the W40TlTe) are equipped with a liquid crystal display (LCD). This is where error messages are displayed. The error code appears as EXX, where XX is a combination of digits. Let's explore the malfunctions indicated by each of these codes.

• The E01 error indicates that the door lock signal was not received. If the locking mechanism fails to engage within 15 seconds, this code is triggered. First, check to see if the door is securely closed. Next, check the integrity of the door lock.
• The E02 code appears after the cycle has finished, indicating that the machine's tank has been filling for more than two minutes. The error may be caused by insufficient water pressure in the house's water supply. Another possibility is a clogged water inlet system. You'll need to check the inlet hose, inlet valve, and inlet filter mesh.
• E03 appears on the display when water drains from the machine longer than the standard 90 seconds. It's important to check the drainage system components (waste filter, pump, and drain hose). They may be clogged. In this situation, the wash will continue, but the "ENDE" light will flash. During the spin cycle, the Kaiser will accelerate to a maximum of 400 rpm, and the error will appear on the display after the cycle ends.
• E04 indicates a water overflow. This code may appear on the display at any time. In this case, the wash cycle ends early and the pump is activated. The cause of the malfunction may be a faulty pressure switch, a blocked inlet valve in the "ON" position, increased water pressure in the pipe, or a damaged control module. Inspection should begin with the simplest and progress to the most complex. First, inspect the level sensor, then the solenoid valve, and finally, the circuit board.
• E05 appears on the display if, 10 minutes after the water fill begins, the pressure switch has not signaled that the tank has filled to the required level. The cycle is interrupted. The error may be caused by a lack of water supply in the water pipe, damage to the inlet valve or the level sensor itself, or a malfunction in the control module.
• E06 is displayed if, after ten minutes of drain pump operation, the "brain" does not receive a signal that the tank is empty. The cycle ends prematurely. Typically, this code indicates either a pump or pressure switch failure, a blockage in the drain system components, or a stuck reset valve.
• The E07 error indicates a leak inside the housing. In this case, water collects in the Kaiser water tank. The code is displayed if the tank is depressurized, the float sensor is damaged, or the hoses are damaged.
• E08 indicates a power supply problem. This error can appear at any stage of the washing cycle. It appears on the display if the power supply voltage is outside the specified range (190-265 volts). If this isn't a temporary power outage, you'll need to call an electrician.
• E11 indicates a faulty sunroof lock relay. Repairing the control board will resolve the issue.
• E21 is displayed if the "brain" is not receiving signals from the Hall sensor about the engine speed. This error causes the cycle to end prematurely. This could be caused by a faulty electric motor or the tachogenerator itself, damaged contacts in the circuit, or an open engine thermal switch.
• E22 is displayed if the electric motor starts running without a command. The wash cycle stops. The error may appear on the display if the drum is unbalanced or if the electronic module is damaged.
• E31 indicates a problem with the thermostat sensor. The wash will proceed as usual, but the code will appear after the cycle is complete. You'll need to check the thermostat to make sure it's working properly.
• E32 indicates a broken temperature sensor connection. The wiring needs to be inspected and, if necessary, the connection repaired.
• E42 appears on the display if the door refuses to open 2 minutes after the cycle ends. This error may be caused by a faulty electronic module or door locking device.

Most problems are easy to fix yourself. Therefore, if you notice a code on the display, don't immediately call a technician. First, open the manual, decipher the error, and determine what could be causing the malfunction. Then, assess whether you can fix the problem at home. Replacing the inlet valve, pressure switch, hatch lock, heating element, temperature sensor, and cleaning the drain and fill system components is something a homeowner can easily do. To diagnose and repair the control board, you will have to invite a specialist.

Machine codes W43.10 or W59.10

Owners of Kaiser washing machines with the PB ECOTRONIC system will need to identify errors by blinking indicators. The control panel of the machines has LEDs that indicate the selected wash temperature:

• 95°C (T95);
• 60°C (T60);
• 40°C (T40);
• 30°C (T30);
• "Heating OFF" (T0).

If the washing machine is in good working order, only one “temperature” light will be on; two illuminated LEDs will indicate problems with the system.

We will list all possible combinations of light bulbs and tell you what kind of malfunction they indicate. Other combinations of indicators not described below will indicate damage to the control module.

• T95 + T In this case, the "brain" isn't receiving a signal that the hatch is locked. Check that the door is securely slammed shut. If so, run a door lock diagnostic to ensure the locking mechanism is working properly.
• The T60 + T indicator combination indicates damage to the blocker's triac. The control board requires repair.
• T95 + T indicators light if the drum takes more than two minutes to fill. The cycle will run to the end, and the "Gotowa" light will flash during the wash cycle. This error may be caused by poor water pressure in the pipes, a clogged inlet hose, or a blocked solenoid valve.
• T95 + T60 + T The pressure switch fails to transmit a full tank signal 10 minutes after the cycle starts. This error typically occurs due to a malfunction in the level sensor. The indicators may also illuminate due to clogged components in the filling system. Very rarely, the cause is a damaged control module.
• T95 + T: The pump drains water for more than a minute and a half. The wash will continue, but the machine will spin at the minimum speed of 400 rpm. In this situation, the problem should be looked for in the drainage system: check to see if the debris filter or drain hose is clogged.
• T95 + T60 + T30. These lights come on when, 10 minutes after the tank starts pumping water, the system doesn't receive a signal that the centrifuge is empty. There are several possible causes: incorrect operation of the pressure switch or pump, a clogged drain hose or debris filter. Sometimes the reset valve is stuck in the "ON" position.
• T95 + T40. These light when the pressure switch indicates an overflow. This code may be triggered if the solenoid valve is not closed, the water level sensor is broken, or the electronic unit is damaged. It's also possible that the problem is simply increased pressure in the pipes.
• T40 + T30. The thermistor has shorted. The temperature sensor should be diagnosed and replaced if necessary.
• T30 + T0. Indicates an open circuit in the thermistor circuit. Inspect the wiring and repair the connection if necessary.
• T60 + T30. These lights illuminate if the electronic module is not receiving engine speed signals from the Hall sensor. This error causes the cycle to end prematurely. This could be caused by a faulty electric motor or tachogenerator, damaged contacts in the circuit, or an open engine thermal switch.
• T95 + T30 + T lights up if the electrical voltage is too high—over 253 volts. This could be a short-term surge. If the error recurs after a while, call an electrician.
• T60 + T indicates that the motor starts running without even receiving a command. The cycle ends early. This could be due to an imbalance in the drum (if the laundry is tangled) or a damaged control board.
• T95 + T60 + T: The machine is leaking, and water is collecting in the tray. In this situation, the wash cycle stops immediately. It's necessary to locate the leak—perhaps liquid is escaping through a crack in the tub or a hole in the hoses. A faulty float switch could also be the cause.
• T40 + T30 + T lights up if the hatch does not unlock within two minutes of the cycle's completion. The problem could be a faulty door lock or a damaged module.

It's important not to ignore errors displayed by your Kaiser washing machine and to promptly resolve any issues. If possible, you can repair the appliance yourself. If the problem is serious, it's best to entrust the repair to a professional.
