Candy washing machine error codes

Candy washing machine error code E01, Error 1

Causes:

This error occurs when there are some issues with the door closing or locking mechanism.

  1. Something is preventing the door from closing such as cloth.
  2. The loading shaft hatch door of the washer is damaged.
  3. The door lock itself is clogged or faulty.
  4. The main PCB (Printed Circuit Board) or its wiring and connections are defective.

Solutions:

  1. Remove the cloth or any other item that is coming in between the door-closing path.
  2. Check the wiring, connections, and harness connectors of the door lock system.
  3. Clean the door and its locking mechanisms using a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. Replace the lock system if faulty.
  4. Check the main PCB for any faults and replace it if needed.

Candy washing machine error code E02, Error 2

Causes:

This error occurs when the solenoid valve of the washer has issues and the washing machine is not filling with water within its normal time limit (which is 8 minutes in most models).

  1. The water supply tap is not open.
  2. The water supply hose has kinks, leaks, bents, or is completely damaged.
  3. The water inlet valve on the washing machine is clogged or faulty.
  4. During winter, this can happen due to a frozen water supply.
  5. Issues in the main PCB.

Solutions:
