Steamer Test Description

The Steamer test will run in parallel with the washer test program starting from step C1 up to step C3 according to the diagram below.
In summary the test of the steamer consists of activating the heater without water for 30s and detect the temperature increase though the NTC, confirming that the steam
heater element, NTC, fuses and cables are working properly. Then turn off the heater and turn on the steam valve by 1 minute and detect that the valve is working by
verifying the temperature decrease due to cooling effect of water injected into the steamer tube.
If any failure is detected during the Steamer test, the test program will be interrupted and the appropriate failure will be displayed according to the failure table.

Check if mains switch is working (including mechanical interface).
Check if voltage available on connector IF2 on CCU.
If mains voltage available:
Read out failure code.
If failure is not F14, F60-F63: reprogram variant file.
If F60-63, then check for NTC and NTC harness short circuit (see F05).
If not successful: replace CCU.
In case of "endless operation" situations: replace CCU.
Remark:
see also F13 - in this case the appliances can look dead for some minutes.
Check for intermitted situation (appliance sometimes dead ):

Check mains switch / rotary selector for mechanical damages (e.g. broken latches
between housing parts lead to internally intermitted connection): push and pull
carefully on the connector and check if mains switch / selector housing can be moved
=> if rotary selector damaged, then replace CCU.
Siphon problem No failure indication. No failure indication. No failure indication. Potential Causes
Appliance fills water, but Check proper installation of outlet hose:
water does not remain in correct height of outlet hose and correct fixation of outlet hose on rear panel (for
appliance. appliances with outlet hose exit in bottom area)
This happens without no tight connection between outlet hose and house hold waste water pipe
drain pump activation. (ventilation between outlet hose and house hold pipe must be possible)

Appliance does not spin => If motor is running:
at all Potential Causes
Appliance does not spin Unbalance measurement can lead to repeated laundry distribution ramps to come down
under certain conditions with measured unbalance. Depending on the model it can be a high number of retrials.
This is necessary to avoid mechanical damages of the appliance due to spinning with
Poor spinning too high unbalance. If it is not possible to reach an acceptable unbalance level with the
performance / high distribution retrials, the appliance will not spin.
rest moisture content Small loads and especially single pieces are more critical than middle and large loads
=> check with customer for load conditions instruct customer
Long wash cycle In case of selecting Drain&Spin-Program, the unbalance measurement is more critical,
because information from the wash cycle is missing. Therefor is a higher probability for
retrials in the distribution ramps and eventually for failing spinning at all. Check with
customer, if Drain&Spin-Cycle was selected or if a complete washing program was
selected.
Check situation for water ring or foam see next points from Foam routine
Mains frequency variation can have negative impact on unbalance detection. If the
frequency variation is limited to a short period, it will lead to additional retrials for
distribution. In case of permanent frequency variation, it can lead to no spinning after
number of retrials is expired.

to 5 times. In case of 5 repetition (ca. 1,5 hours increase of wash cycle duration) the
failure code F18 or Fod is displayed.

Potential Causes
Check all points from drain pump failure F03 poor performance of outlet system leads
to this behaviour
Instruct customer for detergent dosage
b) Undervoltage / Brown out

Some appliances (only newest control unit generation of Wave, production start Q2/2010 or
later) have this feature implemented. When the mains voltage is becoming too low, normally
the appliance goes to a failure mode because motor, drain pump or valve do not work
anymore. The possible failure modes are Motor/Tacho Failure F06, Drain Failure F03 or Fill
failure F01.
The Brown out function wants to avoid this. If the mains voltage is too low (range is 192V to
180V depending on fluctuation), the appliance stops and waits until mains voltage is back
again in the proper range to continue the cycle.
Appliance stops No failure indication. No failure indication. No failure indication. Potential Causes

Long wash cycle No failure indication. No failure indication. No failure indication. Beside of the possible causes mentioned aboved:
Since energy and water consumption become more and more important, wash cycles can
become 4 hours and longer, because this helps to save water and energy. These long cycle
durations are intended and not a failure condition. => customer to be instructed.

During service Test:
Verify that the appliance has no siphon problem (see above).
Verify proper mounting of hose between dispenser and tub (not twisted, no kinking, ..)
If there is water in the unit:

Check for proper operation of the pressure switch contacts (without water: 11-14 open,
11-12 closed, with water: 11-14 closed, 11-12 open).
Check the electrical resistance of the pressure switch for open and closed contacts
If pressure switch does not have 11-14 closed:
A) not enough water to reach wash level => check points above
B) enough water for wash level => continue below
If water fills ok:
Verify that Pressure Switch Hose is in good condition and properly connected to Tub
and Pressure switch, verify that there is no hole in pressure hose, verify that there is
no kinking or siphon in pressure hose and verify that there's no water drop in the
pressure hose
Verify that air trap is not blocked or leaking.

an Aquastop Failure will be detected. In an Aquastop condition, the drain pump will operate
for 3 to 6 min. Afterwards the drain pump is off and the door unlocked.
Potential Causes
If there is water in the bottom tray of the appliance:
Check all hoses for any leakage
also possible: Check if there was an overfoaming due to too much detergent used
Check the tub for any leakage
If there is no water in the Bottom tray
Check if the Aquastop Switch or wiring has a short circuit

Too Long Heat Time, too low temperature increase during heating
If the water temperature is not increasing over 35C during 40 min. of the first heating step
in the cycle the CCU will display this Error.
Potential Causes
Check the electrical resistance of the Heater (ca. 22 - 30Ohm). => If out of this range,
then replace heater.
Check Wire Harness connections to the Heater, NTC and CCU. => Plug correctly. If
harness defect, then replace harness.
Check the electrical resistance of the NTC (20C = ca. 14,8kOhm, 30C = ca.
9,8kOhm, 40C = ca. 6,6kOhm).
Failure can also occure, when NTC resistance is not changing with temperature
=> check NTC by immersing into hot water, after some sec. resistance change must
be visible. => If NTC is defect, then replace heater with NTC.
Check CCU operation (ca. 230V on heater). => Run test program. If the water level is
higher than the working level and the CCU doesnt deliver ca. 230V at the heater
connector in the test program, then replace the CCU.
Check points for F08 and F12 for Heater circuit failure.
If inlet water temperature is very low and the load is very high it might be possible that
the failure is shown without component defect. => Run test program. If the heater
works in test program, then instruct customer.
Steamer appliances: check proper function of external heater relay.
=> Plug connectors correctly. If the harness is defect, then replace it.
=> If the external heater relay is defect, then replace it.
Water Temperature Sensor Error

If the water temperature sensor is out of range, F05 is displayed.
The lower resistance limit is ca. 0,9kOhm which corresponds to a temperature above 100C
and the upper resistance limit is ca. 41kOhm which corresponds to a temperature below
0C.
Potential Causes
In cases of extreme temperature conditions it might be possible, that the failure is
shown without defect component.
Check the Water NTC resistance with and without water in the wash unit (ca. 20C =
14,8kOhm, 30C = 9,8kOhm, 40C = 6,6kOhm). => If the NTC is defect, then replace
the heater incl. NTC.
Check wiring and connections to NTC and CCU. => Plug correctly. If the harness is
defect, then replace it
NTC short circuit (NTC or wiring to NTC): appliance is dead at switch on read failure
code from EEROM: class B failure (F60-63). => Replace harness or heater incl. NTC
resp.
If the failure code from the EEPROM is read out with NTC cable unplugged, it is
possible that F05 is stored as last failure, but just because the NTC cable was
unplugged during initialization of Control Unit.

Drum does not rotate Drive Motor Error or Tachometer Error

The failure is declared when the CCU expects a speed signal coming from the tachometer
of the Motor, but there is no tacho feedback or unreadable tacho signal.
If the Motor can not turn due to Motor defect, if the Motor is blocked / stalled or if the motor
can not run due to open motor harness connection, the failure code is also F06, because
the Control unit can not distinguish between missing tacho signal due to missing motor
movement and missing tacho signal due to defect tachometer or open tacho wiring.
Potential Causes
F06 is also used for Check wire harness connections between the Motor and CCU (and Motor Control Unit,
appliances with CIM / if available) => plug correctly; if harness damaged, replace harness.
BPM / Direct Drive Check Motor internal wires => if internal wires defect: change motor.

supplier)
Resistance of windings between 0,6Ohm and 6Ohm (depending on Motor and Motor
supplier) => if resistances out of SI range: change motor.
Check for drum blockage (also laundry can block the drum), noise or friction during
drum rotation => remove reason for blockage.
Check condition of Motor brushes (damages, worn brushes, blocked springs, loose fit,
broken) and sparking of Motor brushes (during wash and rinse only little sparking
allowed), inspect collector (surface must be even, no segments lift off, clean collector
with pumice stone)
=> replace the brushes, if collector ok
=> replace Motor, if collector not ok
Check for water traces on the Motor and Motor connector, check for water leakages
=> remove reason for water leakages and replace motor and motor harness.
Check the mechanical drive system:
- quality and tension of belt =>replace the belt or/and correct the belt tension,
- fixation of Motor => fix the motor,
- fixation of drum pulley => fix the drum pulley.
If Motor does not run and resistance of all windings and tacho are ok as well as
harness connections are ok => replace CCU (Universal motor) or Motor Control Unit
(CIM drive system)
If failure is not permanent / not reproducible reason can be:

Especially if mixed with random F07, but also if only F06: check harness wires to Motor
and Motor internal wires for internal intermitted interruption (wire insulation still ok, but
strands inside broken)
Activation of thermal protector of Motor (e.g. after drum blockage or due overload with
several consecutive cycles and/or heavy load and/or high ambient temperature >40C)
High load in cycles with high water level (e.g. Delicate cycle is designed for small load,
if used with full load terry towel water level is much too high) => instruct customer.
- 13 -
Undervoltage situation and overload situation (Motor does not reach speed)
In case of strong undervoltage situation F06 is a typical reaction, because motor does
not start anymore => no action.
Domino CCUs with production date after Q3/07:

Improvements implemented with latest CCU versions (status July 2008).
Status September 2009: Additional improvements are planned.
Motor Control Triac Error

The CCU has detected a short circuit in the motor control triac.
If the Motor triac is damaged, the failure is permanent and reproducible.
Potential Causes
Check CCU by running Test Program
F07 is also used for If failure is permanent:
appliances with CIM / For appliances with Universal motor: replace CCU
BPM / Direct Drive
For appliances with CIM drive system: replace Motor Control Unit
drive system (external
Motor Control Unit)
If failure is not permanent / not reproducible reason can be:
Check the mechanical drive system:
- quality and tension of belt => replace the belt or/and correct the belt tension,
- fixation of Motor => fix the motor,
- fixation of drum pulley => fix the drum pulley.
Check condition of Motor brushes (damages, worn brushes, blocked springs, loose fit,
broken) and sparking of Motor brushes (during wash and rinse only little sparking
allowed), inspect collector (surface must be even, no segments lift off, clean collector
with pumice stone)
=> replace the brushes, if collector ok
=> replace Motor, if collector not ok
Especially if mixed with random F06, but also if only F07: check harness wires to Motor
and Motor internal wires for internal intermitted interruption (wire insulation still ok, but
strands inside broken)
A strong undervoltage situation / fluctuating mains voltage might create also F07 since
the control gives more power to the motor to make it starting. If suddenly the motor
starts up and goes fast up in speed it can run into the F07 failure detection.

Heater Circuit Error

The main control has detected a heater circuit failure. These failure modes are checked
before the cycle starts and at the end of the cycle. Please check always all points,
independent if Failure indication is F08 or F12.
Potential Causes
Check the wiring connectors to the heater, CCU and pressure switch, replace the
cable set in case of traces of overheating or damages
Check resistance of heater terminals to ground => if < 10MOhm, then replace heater.
Check resistance of the heater (22 .. 30Ohm) => if open circuit, then replace heater.
Push and pull a little on the terminals during this measurement to check if Heater has
internally intermitted contact.
F08: If heater terminals are moving during this operation or contact intermitted => replace
Open circuit in heater heater.
circuit Turn the drum and check if the drum is touching the heater (noise) => if heater
damaged or scratched, then replace heater. Eliminate reason for touching.
Check for water traces in heater connector area or corrosion in the flange area
=> check for water leakages (Water drops in area of heater contact create this failure
mode, the failure is not permanent in this case.) => remove reason of water leakage.
Check the resistance of the heater connectors to ground WITH WATER in the
appliance (> 10Mohm) => if the tub is untight, then remove the reason.
F12:
Reduced insulation Check the CCU for proper operation (e.g. not opening or not closing heater relay leads
resistance to PE also to F12 or F08 indication, 230V on heater). => replace CCU.
(Protective earth) Check Pressure switch for proper function (in case of no water: 11-14 open + 11-12
closed, in case of water: 11-14 closed + 11-12 open) and check resistance of open and
closed contacts. Not opening or closing pressure switch contacts or improper
resistance values for open or closed contact can also lead to F12 or F08 indication.
=> replace pressure switch.
Check for proper water level
Check water level according to the technical data of SI.
At reset level of the pressure switch: water must be visible in the drum
Verify that pressure switch hose is in good condition and properly connected to tub and
pressure switch, verify that there is no hole in pressure hose, verify that there is no
kinking or siphon in pressure hose and verify that there's no water drop in the pressure
hose
Verify that air trap is not blocked. (Eventually see also other points of fill failure F01
and drain failure F03) => remove the reason for the untightness etc.
When heater is disassembled, check if the heater support is still ok
If heater has strong traces of calcification (can drop off) or if bigger fabric particles are
wrapped around heater tube => replace heater.
In case of small fabric particles wrapped around heater tube, remove them.
If the heater has traces of mechanical damages (foreign objects in wash unit, drum
contact, corrosion, deformation of tubes ...) => replace the heater.
- 15 -
If heater has open circuit, but no strong calcification or soil layer or if heater has traces
of mechanical damages: Check for foreign objects in the wash unit, in the hose
between tub and pump and in the pump filter (socks lead to open fuse, trapped laundry
pieces can lead to open fuse or mechanical damages, other foreign objects e.g. metal
parts like coins or screws lead to mechanical damages) and check point for foam
below in heater failure description => replace heater and remove the origin of defect.
Check for bellow gap in case of sock in the wash unit => remove sock.
If heater has open circuit and strong calcification layer => replace heater and instruct
customer to use more detergent (dosage according detergent manufacturer
recommandation for water hardness, soil level and load size).
If heater has open circuit and strong soil level => replace heater and instruct customer
to use pre-wash and adequate detergent dosage in case of very dirty laundry
Foam can lead to open fuse of heater: => replace heater.
If strong foam was available => instruct customer to use less detergent (dosage
according detergent manufacturer recommandation for water hardness, soil level and
load size)
To check for remaining detergent deposits in washer (which can generate repeated
failure of open fuse):
Start cotton cycle without laundry and detergent (select lowest possible temperature).
Check for foam generation under this condition for 10 min.
If no foam available: cancel cycle
If foam available: instruct customer to finish cycle in order to rinse appliance and use
adequate detergent dosage in future.
Steamer appliance: check for proper function of separate heater relay => replace
separate heater relay or regarding harnesses.
If with all these checks no failure can be found:
For F12: If no failure can be detected, recommandation is to change the heater.

The insulation resistance of the heater can be reduced under certain conditions like long
wash cycles and is not easily reproducible after the heater has dried.
For F08: If F08 indication is not permanent / not reproducible, replace CCU with latest

Attention for wiring:

DOMINO Control unit with push-pull doorlock (CORE08/CORE09 Aesthetic) has wires to
DSS3.3 and DSS3.2 inversed compared to DOMINO with normal Delta doorlock and
Toploader doorlock.
At the end of Program WAVE Control Unit (next generation of DOMINO) has on control unit side inversed pinning
(only some versions) and for doorlock DSS3.3 and DSS3.2 compared to Domino => parallel wiring with CORE 08 /
in Service test: CORE 09 push-pull doorlock (and future doorlocks), but crossed wires with normal Delta
doorlock and Toploader doorlocks (until they will be replaced by new doorlocks).
If the failure code is present at service intervention:

If the CCU is not able to unlock the door at the end of program in 240 sec. (4 min.), F13 will
be displayed and the CCU is locking the doorlock again.
If the appliance is in this condition, do the following check:
- switch the appliance OFF (mains switch)
- wait until doorlock has unlocked (up to 5 min.) try from time to time to open the door
a) If after 5 min. the doorlock has still not unlocked => push strongly on door frame / lid in
area of door hook in direction of closing the door / lid => Is it now unlocked? If not, hit on
door frame in the door hook area (front loader) / hit on the lid in door hook area (top loader)
=> Is it now unlocked?
If the doorlock has unlocked only after pushing / hitting => the root cause is the mechanical
interface. If now door is still locked, it can be a defect doorlock or a mechanical interface
issue.
b) If doorlock has unlocked by itself, but after more than 3,5 min. => doorlock is out of spec
and has to be replaced
- 18 -
c) If doorlock has unlocked in shorter a time than 3,5 min.:

- open the door and remove the laundry
- switch ON the appliance with open door
- rotate the drum by hand for more than 10 sec. (immediately after switching ON the
appliance => if F13 appears => false failure detection => see below
- if F13 does not appear with drum rotation => wait 4 min. => if F13 appear after 4 min.
=> false failure detection => see below
If no failure could be found with this test sequence:
Mechanical interface issues, unlocking time out of spec or false failure detection are still
possible.
General investigations for Failures around Doorlock:
Potential Causes
CCU can not switch off anymore the doorlock

- Close the door and switch ON the appliance
- Do NOT press the start button
- Check if the door gets locked in this condition => If yes, press cancel/reset button for more
than 3 sec. and switch OFF the appliance. Wait until the doorlock is unlocked
again (several min.). When unlocked, open and close door.
- Switch ON the appliance, but again do NOT press the start button
- If the doorlock is locked after some sec. without having the start button pressed
=> the CCU is defect
Doorlock does not lock / cycle does not start

Check if the Door is closed properly.
Check if there is a mechanical problem on the Door Lock system, Door and Door hook.
The Doorlock can only lock, if the door hook has moved the doorlock slider deep enough
inside the doorlock.
For improving the door adjustment:
- Lift carefully the door a little bit while the door is open
- Instruct the customer to push the door closed before starting a cycle
Check the harness between the CCU and the Door Lock
Start the Service program. If the problem persists the Error Code F13 will be displayed.
Check CCU operation (230V at supply of PTC). Check if doorlock contact is electrically
closed after some sec. of 230V on PTC.
In case of short circuit in doorlock (check for deformation on doorlock, can also result in
open circuit in doorlock) change doorlock and CCU.
case of damages.
Check for water traces on the doorlock and change doorlock and cable set, if traces of
damages by water
- 19 -
Doorlock does not unlock at end of cycle:

Check if there is a mechanical problem on the Door Lock system, Door and Door hook.
The Doorlock can only unlock, if the door hook has moved the doorlock slider deep
enough inside the doorlock.
For improving the door adjustment:
- Lift carefully the door a little bit while the door is open
- Instruct the customer to push the door closed at the end of the cycle, if door does not
unlocked by itself
Check for water traces on the doorlock and change doorlock and cable set, if traces of
damages by water
For Domino CCUs with production date after Q3/07 timeout for Unlocking time is 4min.
For controls versions before Q3/07 the unlocking timeout is 10min.
For Wave controls starting ca. Q2/10, the unlocking time is 6min => see F29
If doorlock does not unlock within 3,5 min. => replace the doorlock
Remark: If the supply time for the doorlock PTC is just some minutes, the unlocking time
is shorter than if the supply time is 2 hours, additionally the unlocking time can vary a lot.
Therefor only for Domino CCUs with production date after Q3/07:
Replace the doorlock
Adjust the door (see above)
And check next point (Polarity of mains plug => false detection of F13)
False F13 detection (only at the end of the cycle):

=> False F13 detections are solved in all appliances after October 2009
=> EUREKA appliances have solved the issue since Q2/2008
=> New information from March 2010: even with algorithm to prevent false alarm
implement, failure condition can probably still occure
The doorlock IS UNLOCKED at the end of the cycle, but still failure is displayed or cycle
does not properly go to end mode or failure can not be produced and therefor not clear
which condition applies
Check polarity of appliance:
- Check on RFI Filter with mains testing screwdriver / mains tester, if Line (230V) is
connected on RFI Filter terminal marked with L.
Check if 2-pole connector on RFI Filter and 2-pole connector from RFI-Filter on Central
Control Unit are assembled correctly (locking latches of connectors locked in connector
frames).
- With this polarity false detections of F13 are possible:
inverse polarity at mains input by changing polarity of single connectors of the power
cord on the RFI Filter
(=> ATTENTION: unplug appliance before touching the single connectors!!!)
- If Line (230V) is already connected to RFI Filter terminal marked with N (and wiring
between RFI Filter and CCU is properly done and not inversed, see above) do NOT
change the polarity of the mains supply!! => change the doorlock
- Check for proper grounding of appliance: House hold socket and cabinet of appliance
Re-check behaviour of appliance: Does failure code still occure? Does cycle properly goes
to end mode? If issue is not solved: check Drive Motor for excessive current leakage.
- 20 -
(Eventually Icon Door If CCU detects a defect of the doorlock triac, F13 is displayed
open is ON) This check is done at start of cycle, during the cycle and at the end of the cycle.
NEW compared to Domino and 1st generation of Wave: F13 only for triac issues on CCU
at Wave TCP and
Wave II Potential Causes
Check the wiring / harness between the CCU and the Door Lock
CCU defect
If Doorlock can not lock => see points above.
EEPROM Error
The CCU reads the variant file data from the EEPROM memory on the CCU. The data in
the EEPROM is stored with a check-sum. During data reading the CCU compares the data
with the check-sum.
If the CCU detects an inconsistancy, the failure code is shown.
Potential Causes
A power peak, voltage variation or interrupts (mains disturbance) may cause this error:
Run the Service test Program. This will perform a complete check of the EEPROM
If the failure is detected during the Service Test replace the CCU (high risk that the
Hardware is (pre-) damaged in this case)
Remark:
The CCU can not detect if a wrong variant file is programmed. Therefor a wrong variant file
will not result in F14.

of cycle Potential Causes
Check position of magnet (on drum pulley) => fix or replace electromagnetic device.
Check position of reed sensor (on wash unit) => fix or replace reed sensor.
Check wiring connection between reed sensor and CCU => plug connector or replace
wiring.
Check the resistance of the reed sensor (open or closed contact) by unplugging sensor
wiring on CCU - to check on connector for open / closed contact, rotate drum during
measurement.
Instruct customer, that the drum up system doesnt work in 100% of the wash cycles.

cancelled:
Check mechanical interfaces (push button actuation, PCBs in correct position, shaft of
rotary selector in correct position and orientation, ...) => improve mechanics.
If wrong variant file was programmed, this can lead to User Interface issues
=> update variant file (read out failure code before reprogramming).
Appliance does not react on User interaction:
Reset appliance.
If still not ok, reprogramming variant file can solve the issue (read out failure code
before reprogramming).
Instruct customer for usage (not pushing too often and too fast on buttons, ...).

Pressure switch Failure

Without failure This failure code can be also generated by a defect heater or a defect drain pump or bad
indication: harness connections to heater or drain pump.
To exclude the drain pump and the heater as root cause, please check:
Too low water level => 1. Check if the drain pump is running and check for foreign objects in the filter (see F03)
low wash performance 2. Inverse the mains plug polarity (by turning the mains plug or by changing polarity of
single connectors of the power cord on the RFI Filter => ATTENTION: unplug
Too high water level => appliance from mains before touching the single connectors!!!)
Too high water If with inversed polarity failure code remains F23, continue with checks for Pressure
consumption, Motor switch. If with inversed polarity failure code changes to F12, check for Heater failure
overload F12.
Pressure switch failure:

If the CCU can not properly read the OPEN or CLOSED status of the pressure switch
contacts or if the CCU detects during the wash cycle that the pressure switch contact for the
wash level L1 (11-14) and the pressure switch contact for level "empty drum L0" (11-12) are
CLOSED or OPEN simultanously for 10 sec., this failure will be displayed.
Potential Causes
Check the wiring connections between the pressure switch and the CCU (2 connectors
on pressure switch and 2 connectors on CCU)
11-12 closed, with water: 11-14 closed, 11-12 open).
without and with water.
Start the Service program. If the problem persists the Error Code F23 will be displayed.
If no issue found, check other points from hydraulic system like blocked air trap or
blocked pressure switch hose (see failure F01 and F03)
Remark: First appliances with analogue pressure sensor = APS (and Wave CCU) will show
F23 as failure indication for the analogue pressure sensor
- 24 -
Other pressure switch issues:

Too low water level
Check for proper water level according to the technical data of SI.
At reset level of the pressure switch: water must be visible in the drum.
Verify that Pressure Switch Hose is in good condition and properly connected to Tub
and Pressure switch, verify that there is no hole in pressure hose, verify that there is
no kinking or siphon in pressure hose and verify that there's no water drop in the
pressure hose
Verify that air trap is not blocked
Check for proper appliance leveling and proper feet adjustment
Check other points for fill failure F01 and drain failure F03
Too high water level

Check air trap and pressure switch hose for tightness => see also F01.
unit welding (also without visible water leakage).
Check for proper appliance leveling and proper feet adjustment.
Too high water level in OverFlow Failure

appliance detected If the Overflow contact on the pressure switch is closed, the drain pump is switched on for
45 sec. The overflow failure will occure, if the overflow contact is closed the 5 th time. In an
Overflow condition the Door will remain locked and the Drain Pump will run in intervall
mode.
Potential Causes
Check the Inlet Valve for proper shut off. => If defect, then replace the valve.
In case of permanent operation of valve due to valve triac short circuit on CCU =>
change CCU and valve.
Check the drain hose and make sure it is not plugged or kinked.
Check / replace Wire Harness connections to Drain Pump, Pressure Switch and CCU.
Check / Clean Drain Pump Filter of foreign objects.
Check for Drain Pump Failure F03.
Check the Pressure switch for proper operation (including overflow contact).
Check air trap and pressure switch hose for (air) leakages and replace if needed =>

If service technician has to push a button to come to the next step or to confirm something,
F25 was shown, when the button actuation was not done before the timeout expired.
Action: start again test program.
Pump Driver Failure

If the CCU detects during the wash cycle that the triac of the pump is defective it will display
this failure.
Potential Causes
Pump Triac defect
Check the resistance of the pressure switch contacts (including Overflow contact) and
the check the Aquastop switch. A failure of the pressure switch and the Aquastop
switch could also cause the Code.
=> If pressure switch defect, then replace it.
=> If Aquastop switch defect, then replace it.
If Pressure switch and Aquastop OK, start Service test to check the CCU.
=> If failure occures, then replace the CCU.

Only for Toploader Blocked Drum Detected (only for Top Loaders)
The Control Unit performs the "blocked drum test" after cycle start and after pause mode
when the doorlock was unlocked. The background is to check, if the customer did properly
close the drum door or if the drum door is open and blocking the drum movement.
The control unit evaluates the tacho signal from the Motor for this check.
Potential Causes
Check the Drum doors, if failure code is shown:
also possible: Check whether drum doors are properly closed.
Check the Belt position. => Correct belt position, if needed.
Check the F06 Failure Case. If Motor or tacho or Motor circuit on CCU / Motor Control
Unit fail in the moment of blocked drum detection, the failure code F31 is displayed
and not F06.
Steamer Appliance Steamer Control Unit Communication failure or low ambient Temperature
If there is no communication between the CCU and the Steamer Control Unit (= Myst
Expansion Board or "MEB") or if the ambient temperature is lower than 5C, this failure
code is displayed.
Potential Causes
Check if there is power at MEB CU2 connector => plug connectors, replace harness.
Check the communication wiring connections => plug connectors, replace harness.
Check if the ambient temperature is higher than 5C. => If not, wait for higher ambient
temperature. This function avoid steaming with ice in the hoses, which would easily
cause damages of the hoses.
If failure code occures at start of service test program, the last cycle was not properly
finished. Run a drain cycle, wait until drain cycle is completely finished and start
service test program again.
If all points above ok and F40 happens again => replace the Steamer Control Unit.
Steamer Appliance Steamer Control Unit Failure

If there is any failure detected at the Steamer Control Unit (= Myst Expansion Board or
"MEB") this failure code is displayed.
Potential Causes
Check if there is power at MEB CU2 connector: If ok => replace Steamer Control Unit.

Steamer Appliance Steamer Component failure

If any failure at the steamer component or at the steamer NTC is detected, this failure code
will be displayed.
Potential Causes
Disconnect appliance from mains for all checks on steamer:
Check the harness between steamer, steamer NTC and the Steamer Control Unit =>
plug connectors, replace harness.
Check if there is a fuse or resetable thermostat in open state and check the electrical
resistance of the steamer heater (unplug connector HSG3 from Steamer Control Unit,
measure resistance between pin 1 and pin 3 of connector: ca. 48..59Ohm - measure at
harness connector and not at PCB header)
Check if the steamer NTC is not in open or short circuit state
Check if the steamer hoses are properly connected.
Check if the steamer tube is not blocked
Check water NTC (in wash unit) and wiring connections (see F04 and F05)
Replace Steamer component if failure found or not
Steamer Appliance Steamer Valve failure

If there is no water supply or the steamer valve does not open, this failure code will be
displayed
Potential Causes
Check if the water supply for the appliance is completely opened.
Check the harness connection between the Steamer control unit and the steamer
valve => plug connectors, replace harness.
Check if all hoses are connected without leakages => eliminate leakage.
Check function of Steamer Control Unit: run service test program and measure,
whether 230V are available at Steamer Valve. If not, replace Stemer Control Unit.
Verify steam valve operation. If it is defect, then change the steam valve.
Appliance is dead / CCU failure

Appliance stops The appliance has Possible display Explanations:

b) Undervoltage / Brown out

If there is water in the unit:

Water leakage in Aquastop Failure

Water Temperature Sensor Error

Drum does not rotate Drive Motor Error or Tachometer Error

If failure is not permanent / not reproducible reason can be:

Domino CCUs with production date after Q3/07:

Motor Control Triac Error

Domino CCUs with production date after Q3/07:

Heater Circuit Error

If with all these checks no failure can be found:

For F12: If no failure can be detected, recommandation is to change the heater.

As additional help, check this start-up behaviour:

Attention for wiring:

If the failure code is present at service intervention:

c) If doorlock has unlocked in shorter a time than 3,5 min.:

General investigations for Failures around Doorlock:

CCU can not switch off anymore the doorlock

Doorlock does not lock / cycle does not start

Doorlock does not unlock at end of cycle:

False F13 detection (only at the end of the cycle):

If Doorlock can not lock => see points above.

Bad spin performance Foam detected During the Wash Cycle

Check points from Foam routine without failure indication

Measure 5V between pins 1 and 4. If not 5V, then change CCU.

If failure code is shown:

Pressure switch Failure
