The rear temperature is malfunctioning.
Solutions:
- Clean the ventilation ducts and make sure that the air system is good.
- Clean the condenser.
- Check the motor.
- Check the fan for blockage.
E12: Pressure switch error
Damaged pressure switch.
Solutions:
- Check the wire harness connector.
- Check the level switch.
- Ensure that the air trap is clean.
E13: Compressor sensor error
Faulty compressor sensor.
Solutions:
- Check the C. NTC wire harness connector.
- Check the compressor sensor.
| Electric part name: | Temperature | Ohmic value |
|---|---|---|
| Compressor NTC sensor | 25°C/72°F | 20 KΩ |
- Check the main PCB. Replace it if necessary.
E14: Rear sensor error
The rear sensor is a cut/open circuit.
Solutions:
- Check the rear sensor wire harness connector.
- Check the rear sensor.
| Electric part name: | Temperature | Ohmic value |
|---|---|---|
| Rear sensor | 25°C | 19.8 KΩ |
- Check the main PCB. Replace it if necessary.
E15: EEPROM empty error
The main board is malfunctioning.
Solutions:
- Replace the main PCB.
E19: NFC module error
The NFC module cannot be used for the moment until the next power is turned on or off.
Solutions:
- Switch off the appliance and switch it back on again.
E21: Heater relay error
The main PCB heater relay is malfunctioning.
Solutions:
- Check the wire harness connector.
- Resethigh-limit thermostat.
- Check the thermal fuse.
- Ensure that:
- The ventilation ducts and cycle are clean.
- The air duct is not clogged.
- Check the main PCB. Replace it if necessary.
E22: Compressor relay error
The compressor relay is malfunctioning.
Solutions:
- Check the wire harness connector.
- Check the compressor.
- Check the main PCB. Replace it if necessary.
LOC: Key lock notification
- To deactivate the child lock setting, press and hold the “Time selection” and “Drying selection” buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds, and then the script “Unl” will appear on the display.
- To activate the child lock setting, press and hold the “Time selection” and “Drying selection” buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds, and then the script “LOC” will appear on the display.
The child lock setting differs from one dryer to another, which is why you should always check the Candy user manual.
