Error code F02 in Indesit washing machines indicates a malfunctioning electric motor. Motor failure is a rare occurrence in modern cars, but you should not exclude such a possibility. It is enough to figure out why the F02 error code is on, because. There can be many reasons for her appearance on the scoreboard.
Below we will consider the decoding of the F02 code on the Indesit washing machine – what it means and how to fix it yourself.
Error value under code F02
F02 is on, but is the machine showing this fault code for the first time on the display? It is necessary to understand the causes and methods of action, if you need to urgently remove the error.
If the CMA gives an error F 02 on the electronic display, this means an open circuit in the tachometer, which leads to a breakdown of the engine.
How to define it? When you put the laundry in and start washing, the machine tries to draw water and start the drum. After several such unsuccessful attempts, F02 appears on the washing machine display.
How to check the engine for serviceability
Indesit CMA is equipped with asynchronous, collector and brushless motors. There are two ways to diagnose an engine:
- Check the voltage supply to the starter and rotor windings of the motor by connecting these elements in turn.
- Using a 500 watt transformer, energize the connected starter and rotor windings.
In modern machines, the code f02 is lit on the electronic display. Owners of older models of machines without a display can determine the breakdown by the lit “QUICK WASH” indicator or the flashing “EXTRA RINSE” light.
Causes of the error
If the code F02 is displayed on the display, this could be preceded by a number of reasons. Consider the list:
- The tachometer responsible for engine speed is out of order;
- The rotor of the machine’s engine jammed, which led to a breakdown;
- A rare reason that should not be discounted is an engine breakdown;
- On the electronic board, the contacts of connector J9 failed;
- The control module has failed.
Troubleshooting for error F02
To understand how to fix the situation that provoked the f02 error on the Indesit washing machine, you need to gradually find the breakdown. Try restarting the appliance by unplugging the power cord for 20 minutes.
What to do if the breakdown is confirmed? You need to start searching in the following order:
- Disconnect the SMA from the sewerage and water supply by turning the equipment in a convenient position.
- Tighten the contacts responsible for connecting the motor.
- Check engine communication with the electronic module.
- Check the CNE connector pins – you will find them on the module.
- The winding of the motor and the tachometer must also be carefully checked to make sure that it is in good condition.
- Replace the module if necessary.
How to fix the problem
To check the health of the control module, arm yourself with a camera. Having taken out the board, disconnect all the chips from it, take a picture of the location of the wires – in the future you will need it to return everything back in the same sequence. You can also find the wiring diagram of the board on the Internet.
On the J9 connector of the board, check the contacts, if necessary, they will need to be replaced.
Having found a problem with the module, entrust the Indesit washing machine to an experienced specialist to reset the errors and solve the problem.
