Leran washing machine error codes

Modern Leran automatic washing machines are equipped with a self-diagnostic system. The intelligent software detects malfunctions and notifies the user, displaying the corresponding error code. Let's explore the possible errors this brand's washing machines may display, where to find the error codes, and what to do to fix them.

Let's decipher the self-diagnostic system codes

You can find the meaning of Leran washing machine error codes in the user manual. Therefore, if you see an incomprehensible symbol on the display, immediately open the user manual. If you have lost the manual, search for the meaning online.

The Leran washing machine self-diagnostic system helps quickly identify and fix problems.

Often, users, realizing the fault their washing machine is indicating, fix the problem themselves. The machine itself significantly speeds up the diagnostic process. We'll explain what errors the Leran washing machine can report.

• F01 Error appears on the display when water is poured into the tank very slowly or does not flow at all.
• F03 Code indicates that the washing machine cannot drain water into the sewer.
• F04, F05, F06, F07, F23 If any of the listed errors occur, the machine freezes and stops washing. This is caused by damaged control module components.
• F13: The system is leaking, the door lock is not working. If this error occurs, the Leran washing machine will not start washing.
• F14 The washing machine door won't open. This error indicates a problem with the door lock.
• The F24 code indicates that an overflow has been detected. There is too much water in the drum.
• UNB. This error indicates an imbalance in the drum. This code is very easy to fix: simply distribute the items evenly inside the machine and restart the cycle.

The malfunction indications may differ on different washing machines. On some models Leran instead of the letter "F" before the corresponding number there is "Err". To avoid confusion, it is recommended to study the instructions specifically for your washing machine.

Main problems with Leran washing machines

Once you've identified the malfunction your washing machine is signaling, you can begin troubleshooting. In most cases, you can repair your "home assistant" yourself. However, if the repair is more complex, such as replacing semiconductors or re-soldering circuits on an electronic module, it's best to contact a professional.

The most common error message displayed on Leran washing machines is error code F03. This code indicates that the machine is unable to drain water into the sewer. This error may be caused by:

• internal blockage in the drainage system;
• external blockage (when a siphon or sewer pipe becomes clogged);
• incorrect connection or kinking of the drain hose;
• pump failure;
• damage to the pump wiring.

What should you do if you see error F03 on your washing machine's display? First, you need to drain the water from the tank manually. To do this, use the emergency drain port or the main drain hose. You can also empty the machine by removing the debris filter. To do this:

• disconnect the washing machine from the power supply and water supply;
• prepare a large container with low sides to collect water;
• find the trash filter (it is located behind the service hatch door);
• cover the floor near the washing machine with dry rags;
• Place a container under the appliance to collect water;
• unscrew the filter half a turn, wait until some of the water flows into the basin;
• remove the trash can completely.

If the drain filter is unscrewed and water does not drain from the machine, it means that the pipe coming from the tank is clogged.

Next, you need to clean the waste filter and the drain hole itself. If there's scale buildup on the coil, remove it with a brush. Only wash the waste filter in warm water; boiling water can warp the plastic.

Check to see if the main drain is clogged. To do this, look at how the water drains from the sink or bathtub. If the drain is also blocked, call a plumber.

Check the washing machine's drain hose for blockages. If you find a blockage, disconnect the hose and rinse it under warm running water. After this, waste will flow freely into the drain, and the machine will no longer display the error message.

If error F03 appears after several noisy attempts by the washing machine to drain, the problem lies with the pump. Check the pump with a multimeter. A burned-out part cannot be repaired; you'll need to purchase and install a new one.

Error F01, which indicates that water is not being filled into the machine, may indicate:

• a closed water tap;
• insufficient pressure in the pipes;
• blockage in the filling system (debris can collect in the filter mesh, valve, or pipes);
• breakdown of the water level sensor;
• damage to the control module.

First, check to see if the shut-off valve supplying water to the machine is closed. Next, open the faucet in the bathroom or kitchen to ensure there's sufficient pressure in the pipes. Next, check the inlet hose for blockages and kinks.

The washing machine may not be filling with water due to a faulty inlet valve. It's located under the machine's lid, near the wall. It's connected to the pipes that feed water into the detergent drawer.

The cause is not always a breakdown. Sometimes the mesh filter located between the inlet hose and the solenoid valve gets clogged. Therefore, first check the filter element. To do this:

• de-energize the washing machine;
• turn off the tap that supplies water;
• Unscrew the inlet hose from the machine body and drain the remaining liquid from it;
• Remove the mesh with pliers and wash the filter.

Next, check the inlet valve. Remove the top cover of the washing machine and inspect the element for damage. If everything appears to be in good condition, remove the element, disconnecting all hoses and wiring.

To check, connect the inlet hose to the inlet valve and open the shut-off valve on the pipe. If the sensor is working properly, it will not leak water. Otherwise, the element will need to be replaced.

Error F01 can be caused by a faulty pressure switch. A faulty level sensor sends a signal to the control module that the tank is empty (even when it isn't). The control module displays a corresponding code.

To test the pressure switch, prepare a tube with a diameter equal to the level sensor connection. Next, loosen the clamp and remove the pressure hose. Install the tube in its place and blow vigorously into it. If all is well, you'll hear one or three clicks—this indicates the contacts are engaged.

If the Leran washing machine displays errors F04, F05, F06, F07, F23, call a technician – the problem lies in the electronic control unit.

Trying to diagnose and repair the control module yourself without sufficient knowledge and experience is not recommended. You could further damage the board. It's recommended to entrust such complex work to a specialist.

Error F13 on Leran washing machines indicates the drum door is not closed. There may be several causes:

• faulty hatch locking device;
• broken door handle;
• damaged mechanical lock;
• "loose" hinges.

The door's side hinges need to be tightened, and the latch tongue or handle itself needs to be inspected and replaced. If the problem lies with the door locking system, it also needs to be replaced.

The F14 code indicates a problem with the door lock system. In this case, the door won't open. You'll have to open the machine yourself and replace the lock.

All components are purchased for a specific Leran washing machine model. You can also come to the store with the removed part and ask for an alternative.

Error F24 is also typical for Leran washing machines. Overflow can be caused by:

• faulty fill valve (it does not close even when the tank is already full);
• a broken pressure switch (the sensor signals that there is no water, the control module does not give the command to finish filling with water, an overflow occurs);
• a broken drain pump (water is poured into the tank, but is not pumped into the sewer).

How to check the solenoid valve, pressure switch, and pump has already been discussed. It's best to proceed from simple to complex. First, inspect the water level sensor, then the inlet valve, and finally the drain pump.

There's nothing complicated about diagnosing Leran washing machines. The machines' internal intelligent system helps narrow down the range of possible malfunctions. Most problems can be resolved at home, without the need for a professional.
