Specification of error signals of the PC washing machines
Rev.02, 13 February 2004
The electronic system has been equipped with the self-testing function of the washing machine to detect damages or incorrect operation of the
washing machine. The electronic controller of the washing machine signals that the error has been detected by pulsed  READY/END diode. For the
 Comfort washing machine, the error code is shown on the LED display by the letter E and the error number. For the  Optimum washing machine, the
error code is shown on 4 diodes next to the function buttons. Since the number of signalling options on the diodes is much lower than on the display, in
the  Optimum model part of similar errors has the same signals.
After cutting the power off, the washing machine remembers the most recent error, to delete the error from the memory (and operate the washing
machine further) the error signal needs to be reset by pressing the START/STOP button for about 3 seconds.
Note! Signal resetting does not mean that the error reason has been removed, but means only that information about error detecting has been
deleted from the controller memory! The error signal describes only the irregularity found but does not specify the damaged element! All signals shown
below may also occur if the wires or the electronic elements are damaged (which is not shown in each point below).
Note! Each error detected locks the door. The door may be unlocked only by resetting the error signal or switching the washing machine off
using the mains switch.
