Most common washing machine error codes?

F/H/F20 - NO WATER DETECT ERROR. No water detected entering the machine, or the pressure switch has not tripped after 6 minutes.

F01/F14 - EEPROM ERROR. Communication problem between the Central Control Unit (CCU) and Motor Control Unit (MCU), or inability to read the EEPROM data on the CCU.

F02/F21 - LONG DRAIN. Commonly associated with a drain pump failure or clog in the drainage system.Occurs when the drain time exceeds 8 minutes.

F03 - HEATER SHORT CIRCUIT TO GROUND. Occurs if there is a short circuit to ground detect on the heater.

F05/F24 - WATER TEMPERATURE SENSOR ERROR. Associated with NTC sensor out of range or heating circuit failure.

F06/F25 - DRIVE MOTOR TACHOMETER ERROR/STEAMER DEFECT. Occurs when the motor speed cannot be detected by either the MCU or the CCU. Or, for steam models, the steamer temperature has not reached the correct value.

F07/F15 - MOTOR CONTROL UNIT ERROR. An internal failure with the Motor Control Unit has been detected by the Central Control Unit.

F09/F27 - OVERFLOW CONDITION. Occurs when the Overflow Contact on the Pressure Switch is closed for more than 60 seconds. When an overflow condition is generated, the door remains locked and the drain pump will run constantly. Pressing PAUSE/CANCEL will clear the display, but often will not shut off the pump. UNPLUG washer to service.

F10/F31 - MOTOR CONTROL UNIT HEAT SINK TRIP. Occurs when the thermal protector on the MCU gets too hot.

F11/F28 - SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS ERROR/MOTOR CONTROL UNIT ERROR. Caused by either a communications problem between the Central Control Unit and Motor Control Unit, or Motor Control Unit internal failure.

F13/F30 - DISPENSER CIRCUIT ERROR. Occurs when the dispenser motor is not in the proper position.

Fdl/F22 - DOOR LOCK ERROR. Occurs when the door fails to latch after 6 attempts.

F23 - HEATER FAILURE. Occurs when the water temperature increase is less than 86 degrees F during the first 40 minutes.

F26 - DOOR SWITCH ERROR. Occurs when the door has not be opened for three consecutive cycles.Or, if the door switch remains open for more than 5 seconds while the door is locked.

Fdu/F29 - DOOR UNLOCK ERROR. Occurs when the door fails to unlock after 6 attempts.

F32 - PRESSURE SWITCH FAILURE. Occurs when no electrical supply from the CCU to the pressure switch is detected. Or, if the pressure switch contacts are worn out.

F33 - PUMP DRIVE SYSTEM ERROR. Occurs when the connection between the pump and the Central Control Unit (CCU) is lost.

F34 - UNLOAD. This failure is only for information purposes and is displayed in the error log history during diagnostics. Occurs when a load was detected in the drum during a clean cycle and the cycle had to be interrupted.

F35 - ANALOG PRESSURE SWITCH FAILURE. Occurs when there is a malfunction of the steamer component detected by the steamer electronic control board.

F42 - MOTOR CONTROL UNIT ERROR, REPETITIVE UNDERVOLTAGE. Occurs when 4 under voltage conditions are detected by the MCU during the wash cycle.

F61 - STEAMER COMMUNICATION FAILURE. Occurs when incorrect communication is detected between the CCU and steamer electronic board. Error should reset after running diagnostics.

F62 - STEAMER ELECTRONIC BOARD RELAY ERROR. Occurs when one of the steamer board relays (K1, K2, K3, K4) fails. Error should reset after running diagnostics.

F63 - TOTAL STEAMER FAILURE. Occurs when the steamer will no longer function and needs to be replaced.

F64 - STEAMER INLET VALVE FAILURE. Occurs when the steamer valve or flush valve becomes blocked. Error should reset after running diagnostics.

F65 - STEAMER TIMEOUT. Occurs when there is no communication between the CCU and Steamer Electronic Board. Error should reset after running diagnostics.

F70 - CENTRAL CONTROL UNIT (CCU) HEARTBEAT FAILURE. Occurs when no communication data is detected from the CCU to the front panel user interface.

F71 - USER INTERFACE HEARTBEAT FAILURE. Occurs in conjunction with F70 error due to no communications detected from the User Interface to the CCU.

F99 - NOT SUPPORTED. Mismatch of the User Interface and Central Control Unit (CCU). Or, corrupted EEPROM.

rL - WASH LOAD DETECTED INSIDE WASH TUB DURING CLEAN CYCLE. Detects any garments (by weight) that may be left inside the wash tub during a clean cycle. NOTE: Wash tub is to remain empty during a Clean Cycle.

Sd/SUD - SUDS LOCK ERROR. Occurs when too much detergent is used. Or, occurs in conjunction with F02/F21 error (Long Drain) due to obstructions in drain cycle.

The first step in troubleshooting any error code is to press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to clear, and verify your installation. Make sure the water inlet valves are turned on and connected correctly. If the error code remains, UNPLUG the washer for AT LEAST 30 minutes in an attempt to reset the Central Control Unit. In many cases a simple CCU reset will correct any momentary glitches or erroneous errors. If the error returns following a CCU reset, a legitimate error condition exists and must be corrected in order to return the appliance to normal operation. For more specific information and troubleshooting advice on how to remedy most problems, refer to the technical data sheet.

NOTE: EACH ONE OF THESE APPLIANCES COME WITH A TECHNICAL DATA SHEET INSIDE. THIS IS THE SAME SHEET AN APPLIANCE REPAIRMAN WILL REFERENCE ON A SERVICE CALL. REFER TO THE TECH SHEET FOR MORE DETAILED TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION.

The tech sheet contains troubleshooting data, wiring diagrams, diagnostics procedures, component illustrations and all error code definitions.



To access, you will need to remove the lower toe panel directly below the door. The access screws are located under the bottom front edge of the panel. You may have to prop the two front feet of the washer up for better access to the screws (a 2x4 works well for this). With the screws removed, the panel should drop down, and come off. If the tech sheet isn't directly behind the toe panel, it will be affixed to one of the interior cabinet walls.
It is recommended that the tech sheet be placed back inside the appliance when repairs are completed in order avoid losing and to keep this pertinent info for future use.

How to to Repair lens on Digital Cameras?

Lens cover issues are generally caused by some sort of shock to the camera, such as dropping it or it getting hit against a surface. It doesn't need to be with any amount of real force: cameras are very delicate pieces of equipment, and a surprisingly small level is required to cause an automatic lens cover error. This will either short the lens cover, causing it to be stuck, or jamming or misplacing the guide pins of the lens cover. The other major cause is some sort of particulate getting trapped in the lens cover mechanism. If you dropped your camera with the lens extended, or did not take the proper precautions to prevent dirt from entering the lens barrel, it is possible that there is some sort of obstruction that is prohibiting the lens mechanism from functioning properly. Carefully inspect the camera lens and lens barrel for any sand, dirt, etc. If you are having problems with your Digital Camera and the lens not working properly then here are some things that you can try that may help you get it working again. These problems can include: The camera not starting up, the zoom function not working properly, The focus function not working properly, and the lens not retracting when the camera is shutoff.

Keep in mind as you try these things that realistically you have about a 50-50 chance of fixing many of these problems, and the further down the list you go the more chance there is that the fix may break your camera, but they, it isn't working now, so what do you have to loose? Just remember that IF your camera is still covered under a warranty, it will be better for you to return it and get a new one then to try and fix it yourself.
The first thing to make sure of is that you have fresh, working batteries in your camera. If your batteries are over a year old they are not putting out full power anymore and you may just need to replace them with new ones. I have seen some batteries die in months. Some will fail very quickly, so never assume that a battery is good. Try a new one! Also try holding the function or OK button while you start up the camera. This will keep some of the other functions from working and give you more power on the start-up.
Next, remove the memory card and try to start the camera without the memory card installed. This will cause some cameras to reset. Then turn the camera off and insert the memory card. Again restart the camera and see if it works
If your digital camera has an AV cable, inset that and try to start it up. This also will shut down some of the other functions and give it more power for the start-up. It also may be a good idea to keep it plugged in if you need to try some of the later fixes.
Now try to lay the camera flat on it's back. Push the shutter button in as you turn the camera on. The camera will then try to auto focus as it is starting up. The combination of the focus and the start-up may free the lens.
Now comes the parts that can be a bit more risky.
Using compressed air, like the cans that you blow your keyboard out with or a regular air compressor and nozzle, blow air around the rings of the lens. This may dislodge the dirt that is hindering the lens from moving. Another way also is to use a shop vac. Hold the nozzle over the lens with it sucking air over the lens as you start the camera up. Be-careful that the air does not pull too hard on the lens and cause more damage. In some cases though, the gentle pulling will help to extend the lens.
If that does not help, using a thin piece of paper, you can slide it into the gap around the lens barrel, or use a needle to dislodge dirt if you can see it. Just be careful not to slide anything in too deep and ruin the dust gasket around the lens. Also be careful not to scratch the lens.
Now we will start to get desperate. Take the camera and tap it gently on a table top or other hard surface. The cover for the USB cable is a good place to tap on. This is often rubber and will cushion the blow a bit. Slapping the camera on your hand or the inside of your thigh may also work. Oh, and make sure to unhook that AV cable when doing this. Also be aware that this may cause the internal components such as the ribbon cables or wiring to come unhooked and cause other problems. Very hard banging, can also cause the LCD screen to crack.
Now, if you have dropped your camera with the lens extended, and the lens is obviously crooked, then you will need to tap it straight. To do this use something softer, but with a bit of weight. A pencil or a hair brush may work well. Tap the lens in such a way as to knock it straight. In other words the opposite way that it is pointing crooked. Do this while trying to turn it on and off. Tapping it on a table top may also work.
Now the really desperate fix. If everything else has not worked, then you are left with no options. Forcing the lens is now your only choice.
Gently as possible take the lens and with a pulling, twisting, rotating motion, pull and turn the lens at the same time. Also attempt to straighten the lens while doing this. You can then push it back gently and try a few times, but do not push the lens all the way back in or you will not be able to grab it anymore. If you are doing this and you feel a click, then stop and try the camera, as the guide pins may have clicked back in place and you are good. It is also possible that the click is the guide pins breaking, which of course is bad news.
If you are successful in getting the lens to go in and out freely again, you may then have to turn the digital camera on and off a few times, push the shutter button part way in to activate the auto focus, a few times, to get the camera to recalibrate the auto focus again. Doing this should help to get it to work again. Resting the camera may also help to get it to focus properly again.

If your camera is still under warranty when your lens becomes jammed, you should first call the manufacturer of your digital camera to see if lens repair is covered under the warranty. If you try to repair your camera lens on your own while your digital camera is under warranty, the manufacturer may be able to void your entire warranty. Unfortunately, in most cases, lens repair is not covered under a basic warranty anyway. The cost of having the lens professionally repaired may cost more than the digital camera is actually worth, so be sure to ask for an exact quote before sending your digital camera out for repair.
