In order for the user and the Candy dishwasher to “understand” each other better, manufacturers have developed a digital display. The screen displays not only the time until the end of the cycle, but also fault codes.
If you notice one of the codes when you turn 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 to decode fault codes “Kandy”
Depending on the type of dishwasher control, the fault code manifests itself in different ways. For example, in machines with a display, the error will be displayed on the display. If your equipment does not have a display, watch the indicators blink. The number of flashes indicates an error.
If the code appeared on the PMM panel for the first time, the machine needs to be rebooted. This may be a failure in the system, and after the equipment is rebooted, work will resume. What should be done:
- unplug the machine;
- wait 15-20 minutes;
- connect the equipment.
You can continue working if the error has disappeared from the screen. But if it lights up 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 water is not poured into the machine or, conversely, it does not drain from the tank, check the system for blockage. The hoses need to be inspected and find a kink. Such repairs can be performed by each user within 15-20 minutes.
- Replacement of parts, which provides for partial disassembly of the PMM body. For example, replacing a pressure switch or keys on a control panel.
- The most difficult repair is the complete disassembly of the equipment, the replacement of the circulation pump or the control board. In such cases, call the wizard.
