Washer-dryer does not detect water level correctly; may not start spin or may stop mid-cycle with E10.
Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance. Avoid blowing too hard into pressure components to prevent damage.
Step-by-step checks:
- Inspect pressure hose: Remove the top cover. Locate the thin hose from the tub air chamber to the pressure sensor. Ensure it is firmly attached at both ends and not split or kinked.
- Clean air trap: At the tub connection, remove the hose and inspect the air trap for detergent sludge. Clean thoroughly with hot water and a brush.
- Test the pressure sensor: If your Candy model uses an analog sensor, check its output voltage (requires service manual and live testing). For simple switches, test continuity while gently applying pressure.
- Check wiring: Inspect the harness from the sensor to the PCB for damage or loose connectors. Reseat all plugs.
- Reassemble and test: Run a rinse and spin cycle to confirm correct water level detection and spinning.
When to call a technician: If the sensor and hose are fine but E10 persists, the main PCB input circuit may be defective and needs professional diagnosis.
