- Error codes for washing machines Whirpool
Modern home appliances are easy to manage, reliable, multifunctional. But during the process of washing in modern washing machines, malfunctions sometimes occur. To do this, such household appliances are equipped with a diagnostic system to determine the error code and further correct them. One of such striking examples is the washing machine Whirpool. In order that you do not have to contact the service center, because of simple failures that you can correct yourself, in this article we have described all the CMA errors of the Whirlpool and further actions for their determination and correction.
to the contents ↑How to test?
To perform a test check of the machine when it fails, you need to perform the following actions:
- Login to the Bauknecht service:
- Turn on the program for draining the water.
- Cancel the action of the program.
- Select the second time the drain program, but do not turn it on yet.
- Press 4 times on the soak button( for 5 seconds).
- If necessary, skip the step by pressing the soak function twice.
Important! Step of the test: filling, rotation mode, warming, draining mode, spin mode.
- Login to the Domino service:
- See if the washing machine door is closed.
- Select the mode for draining the water.
- Press the Reset button 4 times.
- If necessary, skip the step, to do this, press the same button 2 times.
After the progress of such operations on the screen, you will see a fault code.

As soon as the value appears on the display, it is necessary to understand what exactly it informs you. To do this, you need to know what the error codes of the SMA Virpul are.
Failure FH
The cause of the error: the water level regulator stopped working.
To reset this error, press "PAUSE / CANCEL" 2 times. In case there is no water in the washing machine:
- Inspect the water supply unit - it may be open.
- Inspect the hose for the transfer of water as well as the intake valve.
If the machine has water, the following steps will be necessary:
- Diagnosis of the drain pump.
- Inspection of the sensor tube for measuring the water level. See if it is connected to the pressure sensor and the drum.
- Look siphon, maybe there's a problem in it.
- Inspect wiring harness connection with inlet valve, water level meter, central control panel( CPU), drain pump.
- You may have hoses running around - be sure to check for cracks.
- Adjustment of the water quantity regulator, if it does not work, then the unit produces an error precisely because of it.
- Checking the functioning of the CPU.
Fault code F02
Cause: The draining process takes too long - for the first 4 minutes, the code "Sud" appears on the screen, then the value F02 appears on the screen.
Reset the error by pressing "PAUSE / CANCEL" twice.
What you need to do in order to remove the problem:
- Testing for the operation of the drain hose, maybe it is somewhere bent or something is hammered.
- Inspection of the electrical contacts of the pump and the pump itself.
- If the filter of the drain pump is blocked, then such a malfunction can arise due to the breakage of the filter.
Important! When you have completed all the operations and saw the same error of the SMA Virpul, you should replace the drain pump.
Fault code of the program F05
Cause: improper operation of the temperature controller.
Procedure:
- Testing of the temperature controller, the heating element( heating element) and the heating element relay.
- The strength of the sensor connection to the heating element and relay is also worth a look.
Code F06
The culprit for the appearance of such an error code AGA Virpul - a malfunction in the functioning of the engine tachometer.
How to fix:
- Checking the connection of the electric motor and the engine control panel, as well as the motor control panel and the CPU.
- Testing the motor.
- Inspect the engine control panel.
- Inspection of wiring.
Failure code of the FPA program F07
If the error codes of the SMA Whirlpool give you this value, a malfunction has occurred in the motor control panel.
How to normalize the motor control panel:
- Check the wiring and the motor control panel, as well as the wiring between this panel and the central one.
- It is necessary to check the engine control panel itself, the engine and the wiring.
Code F09
The culprit is a crowded tank of the washing machine.
Next Steps:
- Checking the drain hose, connecting the wiring to the water drainer, the sensor or the pressure switch and the central control panel.
- Check / clean the filter in the drainer in case it is clogged.
- Repair the drain pump( if it is broken).
- Checking the intake valve( or rather the density of its closing).
- Test the correct operation of the pressure sensor.
Important! If the wash cycle has not yet been started, it may be possible to simply remove excess laundry from the drum.
Error code F10
Cause in the motor control unit - the heat absorption device has tripped.
Next steps:
- Diagnosis of problems after installation of the unit. It is also worth checking whether the washing machine is near the source of heat radiation and whether there is good ventilation.
- Check wiring harness and motor control with central control panel( CPU).All moving parts of the machine are inspected for operability
- Diagnosis of the motor control panel and the motor itself
Code F11
Cause: The components have failed to work together. The transfer of information between the CPU and the motor control is broken.
How to set up the machine:
- Check the connection of the harness to the engine control panel, with the engine and CPU.
- Check: moving parts for wear and operability, engine control panel, main control panel for the machine, engine and wiring.
Failure code F13
Cause: the flow chart of the dispenser operation has been violated.
What is needed for the correct functioning of the dispenser:
- Checking the motor of the dispenser and the top of the dispenser itself for any damage.
- Check the harness attachment between the dispenser motor( dispenser) and the CPU.
- Complete check of the dispenser.
Code F14
Origin: memory-dependent memory fault.
How to resume the machine and remove such an error code. SMA. Virpul:
- A similar failure may occur due to a voltage change. Disconnect the machine for a couple of minutes, perhaps the code will disappear.
- Next it is worth checking the CPU.
Code F15
Cause: There was a problem in controlling the motor.
Next steps:
- Checking the strength of the harness between the motor control, the motor itself and the CPU.
- Inspection of the belt on the motor, motor control, inspection of the motor and wiring.
Failure called "Sud"
Cause: if too much foam appears, the protective function of locking the device for washing things is triggered.
Important! If you have introduced too much laundry detergent, you need to run "Rinse / Spin"( rinse and spin process), then put the usual washing process without adding a detergent. This will clean the machine of a large number of foam powders and gels.
Verification stages:
- Full inspection of the drain hose.
- Checking the wiring connections of the drain pump and CPU.
- Inspect the drain pump filter and clean it.
- Complete diagnostics of the drain pump, water level sensor and CPU.
Error FdL / FdU
Cause: The problem is in locking and opening the hatch door.
Stages that will help you understand this error:
- In the event of a breakdown of the door lock mechanism, it is necessary to repair it.
- Inspection of the door, switch and adjuster of the door.
- Inspection of the wiring of the drain pump, pressure regulator and CPU.
These were the basic error codes for Whirlpool, which can be fixed manually without resorting to the services of a service center. We hope you have succeeded and now your faithful household assistant no longer fails you.
