Error codes for Zanussi washing machines
Zanussi washing machines can inform the user about a breakdown thanks to programmed codes. In washing machines with a display, it’s easier to understand, find out what’s broken, and where to look for the cause, since the decoding of the letters and numbers that appear on the screen is usually in the instructions. I found the code and read it. In automatic machines without a display, you can also determine the code and breakdown; we will tell you how to do this in the article, and we will also decipher all possible errors.
Fault codes related to water filling and draining
E11 – water is not being filled into the tank of the machine or is flowing very slowly. The reasons for this error are as follows:
- the filling valve is inoperative or its electrics have broken down;
- the winding of the filling valve has burned out (normal resistance is 3.75 kOhm);
- clogging of the inlet system or lack of water pressure in the water supply system.
E13 – water seeps into the bottom of the machine.
E21 – waste water is not drained from the tank after washing. Worth checking:
- drain system for blockages;
- pump winding, normal resistance is 170 Ohms;
- electronic board.
For your information! In some models of Zanussi automatic washing machines, error E 21 is similar to error E20. Error E20 stands for drain system failure.
E22 – condensate is not removed during the drying process.
E23 - the semiconductor element (triac) that controls the operation of the pump has burned out; replace either the triac or the board.
E24 – the track from the triac controlling the pump is burnt out.
EC1 – the filling valve is blocked.
EF1 – the drain filter is clogged, the hose is clogged, the waiting time for draining the water has expired.
Engine related fault codes
E51 – poor contact of the electric motor triac.
E52 – information is not received from the motor tachometer to the electronic board. Most often in such situations, the washer that holds the tachometer falls off.
E53 – the circuit controlling the motor triac is interrupted on the electronic board.
E54 – the relay contacts that provide motor reversal are stuck together.
E55 – engine electrical circuit is open.
E56 – the tachometer signal does not appear for a long time.
E57 - system current is more than 15A, the reason is a breakdown of the motor or electronic board.
E58 - phase current of the electric motor is more than 4.5A, the reason is a breakdown of the motor or electronic board.
E59 – 3 seconds there is no signal from the tachometer, this may indicate a breakdown of the wiring between the motor and the inverter element, or a breakdown of the inverter board.
EA3 – the DSP system does not fix the electric motor pulley. Need to check:
- drive belt;
- DSP system;
- electrical wiring;
- fee.
Fault codes related to water heating
- E61 – the machine does not heat the water to the selected temperature in the set time. In case of such an error, check the resistance of the heating element, which is equal to 30 Ohms.
Important! This error in automatic washing machines is available for viewing only in diagnostic mode.
- E62 – water heats up very quickly and after 5 minutes has a temperature of almost 900C. In this situation, check the heating element for breakdown, measure the resistance of the heating element, which under normal conditions varies from 5.7 to 6.3 ohms.
- E66, E3A – heating element relay failure.
- E68 – grounding in the heating element circuit has tripped.
- E69 – heating element does not work.
Sensor related fault codes
E31 – the water pressure switch is broken. If such an error occurs, change the wiring or the relay itself.
E32 – frequency fluctuations of the sensor responsible for water pressure.This most often occurs due to:
- blocked water supply;
- filling valve malfunction;
- drainage filter clogged with debris;
- broken water level sensor tube;
- faulty pressure switch.
E33 – the sensor that determines the amount of water and the sensor that prevents the heating element from turning on “dry” are not synchronized. Check required:
- sensor performance;
- serviceability of tubes;
- voltage leakage to ground;
- whether the voltage in the network is exceeded.
E34 - this error is displayed for about a minute and indicates inconsistent operation of the anti-boil sensor and the pressure switch.
E35 – too much water has been filled into the tank, checking the pressure switch.
E36 – ABS heating element protection sensor does not work.
E37 – L1S sensor does not work.
E38 – the tube leading from the tank to the pressure switch is clogged, so the pressure difference is not recorded.
E39 – the sensor protecting against water overflow HV1S does not work.
E44 – the hatch door closing sensor does not work.
E71 – the temperature sensor resistance does not meet normal limits.
E74 – the location of the temperature sensor is incorrect.
EC2 – the sensor that detects water turbidity does not work.
For your information! A sensor that detects the turbidity of the water in the tank is only available in the newest models of Zanussi machines.
EF4 – there is no signal from the flow sensor when the filling valve is turned on. It is possible that there is no pressure in the water supply.
Other errors
- E40 – the hatch door is not closed or the door lock is not working.
Let's celebrate! Code E40 is extremely rare; basically, a similar problem is encrypted with other codes.
- E41 – the drum door is not tightly closed.
- E42 – the hatch lock does not work, the part needs to be replaced.
- E43 – the semiconductor element (triac) responsible for locking the door lock does not work.
- E45 – parts of the triac circuit of the drum door lock do not work.
- E5C - the voltage in the bus has increased above 430 V, it is necessary to change the electronic module.
- E5D - no message transmission between the control module and the inverter. There is a problem with parts or wiring.
- E5E, E98 - no data transfer between the inverter and the system board.
- E5F – error in the inverter board, the engine does not start.
- E82 – a defect in the operation of the toggle switch when selecting a position.
- E83 - this error appears only in diagnostic mode and indicates a malfunction of the selector when reading data.
- E84 – recirculation pump recognition error.
- E85 – the recirculation pump or thyristor do not work.
- E91, E92 – error in the operation of the display board and main unit.
- E93 – incorrect software settings for washing machines. You can eliminate the cause if you enter the correct program code.
- E94 – incorrect setting of washing modes.
- E95 – problems in communication between the microprocessor and RAM.
- E96 – the machine control module does not fit the devices connected to it.
- E97 – the position of the program selector does not correspond to the programmed mode.
- E9A – programs responsible for sound do not work.
- EA1, EA2, EA4, EA5 – errors indicating a breakdown in the DSP system.
- EA6 – after half a minute there is no signal that the drum is spinning.
- EB1, EH1 – frequency in the power supply network has been exceeded.
- EB2, EH2 – the voltage value in the electrical network exceeds the norm.
- EB3, EH3 – the voltage value in the electrical network is underestimated.
- EBE, EBF, EHE, EHF – the relay in the protection circuit does not work.
- EF2 – increased foaming, the drain hose is clogged with debris or the filter is clogged.
- EF3 – Aqua Stop protection has activated, there is a leak inside the washing machine.
- EF5 – laundry does not spin, there is an imbalance of items in the drum.
How to decipher the blinking indicators?
In Zanussi washing machines that do not have a display, error recognition is carried out using indicators, for example the Zanussi aquacycle 1000 model. However, non-display panels can be different and have a different number of indicators. How to determine the error code from them and find out the cause of such an error. Let's look at the example of several control modules.
If the EWM 1000 module is installed in the washing machine, then fault codes are determined by the blinking of two lights (indicators): the start/pause indicator and the program end indicator. The lights flash quite quickly, 0.4 seconds, between a series of flashes there is a pause of 2.5 seconds, which is also not much. Therefore, it becomes difficult to correctly identify the error.
The number of flashes of the program completion indicator shows the first digit of the code, and the number of flashes of the start indicator shows the second digit of the code. For example, the program indicator blinked 4 times, and the start indicator 3, which means the error code will be E43, we described its decoding above. An example of a machine based on the EWM 1000 module is the Zanussi aquacycle 1006.
For your information! In all cases, the letter E is placed before the numbers and the full error code is received.
If the EWM2000 module is installed in the washing machine, then the codes are determined by the indication of eight LED lights on the control panel, for example, in the Zanussi aquacycle 1000, Zanussi aquacycle 900 washing machine. Eight indication lights are located on the machine panel on the right, the top 4 lights are the first digit of the code , bottom 4 – second. The number of light bulbs burning at the same time is a binary error code; to convert it into the decimal code familiar to us, you need to use the table.
Proceed as follows, for example, if two lamps No. 4 and No. 2 are lit in the upper group, and lamps No. 1 and No. 2 are lit in the lower group, as shown in the figure. In the table we look for this correspondence, the upper lights are code A, and the lower ones are code 3, we get error EA3. If light bulb No. 3 is lit in the upper group and No. 1 in the lower group, then this corresponds to code E41.
Important! Light bulbs are numbered from bottom to top.
So, deciphering the error codes of Zanussi brand washing machines may not be so easy. We hope the information we provide will help you cope with this problem and make it easier to troubleshoot and fix it.

Well done for publishing the codes. I wish you success!
Thank you!
Cool, thanks!
What does E04 mean?
Hello, help me, it says EHO, what does it mean?
Thank you very much for the information!
Thank you very much
What does E05 mean, please tell me, and what to do?
Hello, the wash cycle was not completed (1 minute left before shutdown). Accordingly, the machine was turned off ahead of time. Now when turned on it displays ERROR. What can be done in this situation? Thank you.
Please tell me. Error E00 appears during washing.
I stopped. Shows 2.13. We can't understand what happened.
Error EA0 what does it mean?
Hello! Error E36 appears - the ABS heating element protection sensor does not work. I can’t identify this sensor, is it probably electronic protection built into the control board? Zanussi fae 825v machine with ewm 1000 control module. Thank you.
Tell me, what is the code E 50?
Hello!
“2.18” is lit on the Display and it is impossible to reset, switch modes, nothing at all!
Tell me, please, what can it be?
Machine – “ZANUSSI HydroLine A+A 1000”.
Great article! Thanks a lot. The other day the Zanussi Aquacycle 1000 FE1024N washing machine was covered. Because the machine does not have a display, the error had to be read from the indicators and then deciphered using the algorithm given in the article. I thought the error was E43. As it turned out, the lock was the culprit. After removing and repairing the lock experimentally, the machine started up and is now washing safely. Thanks again for the article! All the best!
The pump pumps water, then suddenly all the lights light up. What does this mean?
Hello! My end of wash indicator is blinking. When the diagnostic mode is turned on, the “filter” indicator lights up in red. What does this mean and can it be fixed?
Yes, a Zanussi Aquacycle 850.
Good afternoon.SMA zws 687, during diagnosis there are 15 red flashes and 5 green flashes. I can't understand the error code.
Thank you.
Water passes through the powder compartment, washing it away. Does not enter the drum, drains. Why?
What is DSP, who will answer?
On your Internet they write that this is a Digital Signal Processor. It seems like a processor that processes signals.
Hello, my indicator is on - a rectangle divided by a line into two unequal parts. In one part there is a keyhole drawn. And the machine doesn't turn on. What to do? SOS!
Tell me, the machine displays the “Err” code, what does this mean and how to fix it?
Please tell me, Zanussi’s washing machine shows code E69, is it possible to replace the heating element ourselves?
Hello!
Washing machine Zanussi ZWS 3101.
You plug it in and the display immediately lights up! And the program selector doesn’t change anything, but the play button blinks 3 times, then pauses and again three times! And so all the time! What to do, who can tell me?
A washing machine with an electronic scoreboard!
Washing machine Zanussi zwd 545. When turned on, the LED on the start button blinks three times.
Please tell me, error e43 occurs very often. The triac itself was replaced several times. After a while, the error occurs again and the machine refuses to wash. Sometimes everything is ok. Difficult to track
For me, the end flashes 11 times, and the start flashes 2 times.
What error is this?
