8.2.3

Operation of alarms during diagnostics

All alarms are enabled during the diagnostics phase of the components. When the programme selector is
turned from one test phase to another, the appliance exits the alarm condition and performs the phase
selected (if the alarm condition does not occur again).

8.3 Notes concerning certain alarm codes

Configuration alarms E93-E96: If these alarms are generated (when the appliance is switched
on), operation of the appliance is blocked and all the LEDs light. The diagnostics procedure
cannot be accessed; the only option is to switch the appliance OFF (by turning the selector to
position "0").
Configuration alarm E94: For this alarm code, only the family for alarm "9" is displayed; the
diagnostics procedure cannot be accessed, and the "rapid alarm display" function cannot be used.
Alarms EB1-EB2-EB3: In the event of problems with the mains power supply, the appliance
remains in alarm mode until the mains frequency or voltage are restored to the correct value or the
appliance is switched off (by turning the programme selector to "0"). The family of alarm "B" is
displayed; the diagnostics procedure cannot be accessed, and the "rapid alarm display" function
cannot be used. The complete alarm code can be read only when the abnormal situation has
ceased.
Alarms E51- E52: During the diagnostics test, all the alarms are displayed. Normally, when the
programme selector is turned from one test phase to another, the appliance exits the alarm
condition and performs the phase selected. This does not take place in the case of alarms E51
(power triac on motor short-circuited) and E52 (no signal from the tachometric generator on the
motor): in these cases, the only option to exit the alarm condition is to switch the appliance OFF
by turning the selector to position "0" (reset).

8.4 Rapid reading of alarm codes

The last alarm code can be displayed even if the programme selector is not in the tenth position
(diagnostics) or if the appliance is in normal operating mode (e.g. during the execution of the washing
programme):
→ Press and hold down START/PAUSE and any of the option buttons for at least two seconds: the
LEDs initially switch off, and then display the flashing sequence corresponding to the alarm.
→ The alarm sequence continues as long as the two buttons are held down.
→ The alarm reading system is as described in paragraph 8.2.1.
→ While the alarms are displayed, the appliance continues to perform the cycle or, if in the programme
selection phase, maintains the previously selected options in memory.

8.5 Cancelling the last alarm

It is good practice to cancel the last alarm:
•
after reading the alarm code, to check whether the alarm re-occurs during diagnostics
•
after repairing the appliance, to check whether it re-occurs during testing.
1. Select diagnostics mode and turn the programme
selector to the tenth position (alarm reading).
2. Press and hold down START/PAUSE and any
of the option buttons at the same time.
3. Hold down the START/PAUSE and option buttons
(at least 2 seconds).
Important: The START/PAUSE button is configurable depending on the styling of the model, and is
not necessarily in the position shown in the picture!
