Possible Causes

Loose harness between display PCB and main PCB, Faulty user interface board, Failed main control board, Moisture ingress on control electronics

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before removing the control panel or top cover.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Inspect control connections: Remove the top cover and, if necessary, the front control fascia. Check the ribbon cable and connectors between the user interface and main PCB. Reseat all connectors firmly.
  • Check for moisture or corrosion: Look for signs of water ingress around the control area, especially near the detergent drawer. Dry any moisture and clean light corrosion with isopropyl alcohol.
  • Power reset: Leave the appliance unplugged for 10–15 minutes, then reconnect and test.

If E15 remains and all connections are sound, either the main PCB or the user interface PCB may need replacement. This should be confirmed by a qualified technician to avoid unnecessary part costs.
