Possible Causes
Unstable mains voltage, Loose power cord connection, Faulty noise filter module, Damaged main control board power supply
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect the appliance from mains before inspecting electrical components.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Verify outlet: Plug another high-load appliance (like a kettle) into the same outlet to confirm stable power. Avoid extension leads.
- 2. Inspect power cord: Check the washer-dryer power cord for cuts, burns, or kinks. Replace if damaged.
- 3. Check mains filter: Remove the top or rear panel and locate the mains interference filter where the power cord enters. Ensure all spade connectors are tight and there is no burning.
- 4. Surge protection: If E15 appeared after a storm or power surge, the main PCB power supply may be damaged. Visual inspection may show burnt components; board replacement is usually required.
- 5. Professional testing: Because live mains testing is hazardous, further diagnosis of the power circuit should be done by a qualified technician.
