Error E05 on Candy washing machine

When the Kandy washing machine suddenly stopped the wash cycle, you should not randomly determine why the problem occurred and begin chaotic repairs. The built-in self-diagnosis system will detect the source of the breakdown for you and display a combination of numbers and letters on the display. All that remains is to decipher the “message” and fix the problem.

There are about twenty encrypted codes in total, and one of them - error E05 - informs about the lack of water heating. Several failed machine elements can lead to heating problems. We will tell you in detail below how to find the root cause of an interrupted wash and adjust the operation of the machine with your own hands.

Why did this code appear?

Any set of symbols on the washing machine display is a mystery to the owner if there are no explanatory factory instructions at hand. For those who find themselves in a situation without helpers in decoding, we present all four reasons for the appearance of error E05 in Kandy.

1. The temperature sensor does not work. This happens when the resistance force deviates from the specified values: 20 kOhm at a temperature of 25 degrees and 2.14 kOhm at 85 degrees.
2. The heating element has failed. The heating element may either have a manufacturing defect or burn out due to deposited scale.
3. The program selector motor does not function. Problems with resistance, operating voltage or broken contacts between control units.
4. The controller is broken. Damage may result from moisture getting on the board, excessive carbon deposits, failure of one of the sensors, power surges or manufacturing defects.

There are many options for the appearance of the E05 fault code, so to accurately determine the cause of insufficient water heating, it is necessary to disassemble the unit. Next, we begin an active search for the problem, with which the instructions below will help. It is important to remember that the repair will not be easy, so it is better to call a specialist or take the machine to a service center.

Troubleshooting

The main feature of error E05 is the display of an encrypted warning while simultaneously continuing washing in cold water. Therefore, it is recommended to check the screen for such surprises after starting the cycle. But if the problem persists, you will have to stop the wash and fix the problem. Independent troubleshooting begins with preparatory measures.

1. Disconnecting the inlet and drain hoses.
2. Moving the unit to a bright and spacious room.
3. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the technical hatch from the rear wall of the machine.
4. Removing the top cover.

Next, a direct assessment of each possible reason for the heating being turned off begins, for which it is necessary to measure the resistance on the temperature sensor. To do this, you need to set the multimeter to determine the resistance and attach the probes to the contacts. Repeat the steps after heating the water. If the resulting value is the same in two cases and is within 20 kOhm, then this element is working. A faulty temperature sensor cannot be repaired: you will have to purchase a new one and replace it. Let's move on.

1. We examine the heating element. Unscrew the bolts and remove the part from the washing machine. The presence of heavy scale, black spots or a burning smell means that the heating element needs to be replaced.A suitable heating element is selected according to the size and brand of the machine, and is installed according to the standard scheme. The main thing is to thoroughly clean the hole from the layer of scale.
   
2. Remove the mode selector. From the inside, we clamp the fasteners one by one and remove the cover. Next, you need to inspect the switch, measure the resistance at different positions, and check the integrity of the connected contacts.

In most cases, the problem is solved by thorough cleaning of the part and additional insulation of the wires. If this does not help, you will have to replace the module.

3. Checking the controller. It is easy to understand that the electronic controller needs to be replaced: the presence of burnt out parts and contacts indicates problems.

It is rare, but it happens that a visual inspection of contacts and parts, resistance measurements indicate the functioning of the heating system, but the error does not disappear. Then you will have to change each element of the heating system one by one: start with the temperature sensor, then update the heating element, then the controller or selector.

What to do if E05 appears on the display of the Kandy machine? The answer is simple: find and fix the problem in the water heating system, and the above instructions and recommendations will help in this difficult task.
