How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance. Electrical measurements should only be performed by qualified persons.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Check supply voltage: Measure mains voltage at the outlet with a multimeter. If outside the range specified by Balay (typically 220–240 V), contact an electrician or utility provider.
  • Inspect mains cable and terminal block: Remove the rear cover to access the mains terminal block. Ensure all screws are tight and there are no signs of overheating.
  • Check EMI filter: Inspect the mains filter module for burn marks or swelling. Replace the mains filter if damaged.
  • Surge protection: If E29 follows storms or surges, consider using a surge protector and have the control board checked for damage.
