To make the user and the Candy dishwasher better “understand” each other, manufacturers have developed a digital display. The screen displays not only the time until the end of the cycle, but also the fault codes.
If you notice one of the codes when turning on the PMM, do not worry: Candy dishwasher errors indicate a malfunction. All that is needed is to find out the meaning of the error and eliminate the causes of its occurrence. You can do the repair yourself.
How Kandy Trouble Codes Decrypt
Depending on the type of dishwasher control, the malfunction code appears in different ways. For example, in machines with a display, an error will be displayed on the display. If your equipment does not have a display, watch for the flashing indicators. The number of flashes indicates an error.
If the code appeared on the PMM panel for the first time, the machine needs a reboot. This may be a failure in the system, and after the equipment is rebooted, work will resume. What should be done:
- disconnect the machine from power;
- wait 15-20 minutes;
- connect the equipment.
You can continue to work if the error disappears from the screen. But if it is highlighted again, look for the cause of the breakdown.
The problems of the Kandy dishwasher can be divided into three categories of complexity:
- Blockage in the system. When no water is poured into the machine or, conversely, does not drain from the tank, check the system for blockage. Hoses need to be inspected and to find an excess. Such a repair can be performed by each user within 15-20 minutes.
- Replacement of parts, which provides for partial disassembly of the PMM case. For example, replacing a pressostat or keys on a control panel.
- The most difficult repair is to completely disassemble the equipment, replace the circulation pump or control board. In such cases, the wizard is called.
