5. Clogged drain hose.
6. Clogged drain path.
7. Contact and connection problems |
LE (LE1) | Incorrect water leakage | 1. The cause of the leak is the heater.
2. Disconnecting the air hose, water leakage occurs during the spin cycle.
3. The tank in the place where the transport bolts are fastened is damaged.
4. Water leaves in front with foam with too much detergent.
5. Water escapes due to improper connection of the connecting hose.
6. Incorrect installation of the drain pump filter cover.

3. Water is poured continuously when a foreign object enters the water supply valve. |
tE1 | Temperature Sensor Problems | 1. The heating heater is faulty (incorrect contact, malfunction of the temperature sensor).
2. Broken or improperly connected connectors.
3. If the sensor detects a lack of water or if its temperature is 100-150 degrees, to prevent overheating of the heater, the washing machine turns off the power. |
tE2 | 1. The temperature sensor of the fan housing is damaged.

Sud (SUdS) | Excessive foam detected | Foaming is too big. If foam removal is completed, the cycle continues as usual. If large foaming is detected, “SUdS” or “Sud” will appear. At the end of the removal of foaming, “End” will appear. This reaction is necessary to prevent errors of the measuring sensors. |
Now you know the basic error codes for washing machines. They will help determine the cause of the problem. You can also do a test of washing machines, maybe even fix the problem yourself, without the help of specialists.
