A06 Time out for filling.
The module has not detected turbine rotation with the inlet valve energised.
• Check the taps are turned on and that the fill hoses are not kinked.
• Check the inlet valve coil (4k ohms approximately) and wiring to valve and edge connector
on module.
• Check the wiring and connector blocks to module and inlet valve.
• If all above tests are OK, replace turbine or module as required.
Aborts the cycle and energises the drain pump.
A08 Time out for water heating.
The module has not detected temperature increase in 60 minutes.
• Check that the thermistor is not detached from the inner door panel.
• The thermistor is out of calibration.
• The wash pump is not circulating the water.
• Check the element is heating, and the TOC is not opening after a time.
• If all above tests are OK replace module card.
A09 Module recognition error.
• Either a faulty module card or the module card is not communicating with the display.
• Check edge connections and wiring.
• Replace module or display as required.
A10 Open circuit in heating circuit.
• Check the circuit of the heating element (26 ohms).
• Check for an open circuit heater cut-out.
• Check pressure switch open circuit (connections 11-14).
• Check wiring and connections between module card, pressure switch and heater.
• If all above is OK, replace module card.
NOTE: -
• If the pressure switch moves to the empty position during heating, A10 will display.
• If A10 displays intermittently, if the spray arms are not able to rotate correctly, the heater will
overheat and the cut-out will operate displaying A10.
Filling Faults
Turbine faulty. The machine will proceed as if the fill process was controlled by the pressure
switch. At the end of the cycle A06 will be displayed.
Pressure Switch Faulty. The machine will signal A05 at the end of the filling stage.
Turbine and Pressure Switch Faulty. The machine will fill with a maximum of 8 litres of water in a
specified time.
Solenoid Fills when Off. The display will signal A02.
NOTE: - There is no fault code for a faulty wash pump.
A faulty wash pump could display A03, A05, A08 or A10 depending at what stage of the cycle the
wash pump fails.
