Guide to Appliance Error Codes

Welcome to codigodeerror.com, your reliable source for solving those small but annoying problems that can arise with your appliances. We understand how frustrating it can be to encounter an error code on your washer, dryer, or any other appliance without having a clue what it means or how to fix it. That’s why we’ve prepared this introductory guide to help you better understand what’s going on and how you can take action to solve it.

Modern appliances are equipped with advanced electronic systems that constantly monitor their operation. When something goes wrong, the system generates a specific error code. This code is a key diagnostic tool for both technicians and users, as it indicates the type of problem the appliance is experiencing.

Before diving into the error code table, let’s clarify some concepts that might be a bit technical but are essential for understanding how to proceed:

  • NTC Probe: A type of temperature sensor. NTC stands for “Negative Temperature Coefficient,” which means the sensor’s resistance decreases as the temperature increases.
  • Solenoid Valve: An electric valve that controls the flow of water to and from the appliance.
  • Pressure Switch: A sensor that detects the water pressure in the washer and helps control water levels.
  • Flow Meter: Measures the amount of water entering the appliance.
  • Electronic Board: The “brain” of the appliance, controlling all its functions.
  • Relay: A type of electrically controlled switch.

With these concepts in mind, we present the complete table of error codes. This information will allow you to identify the specific problem your appliance is experiencing and guide you on how to fix it.
