Why does error E05 occur on a Kandy washing machine, how can I fix it?

Kandy washing machines are popular and reliable equipment that many buyers prefer to products from other manufacturers.

But even with good technology, problems and failures can arise. One of these situations is error E05.

What the error code E05 of the Kandy washing machine means, how to find the problem and fix it, we will tell you further.

What does the code that the Candy washing machine produces mean?

Error E05 – This is a failure related to the temperature sensor and water heating. The appearance of this code on the display can be caused by a breakdown not only of this particular part, but also by some other reasons.

Stopping a cycle in Kandy washing machines is accompanied by an error code. Such information on the display is the result of self-diagnosis of washing equipment, which records the source of the breakdown and informs the user about it using a specific code of letters and numbers.

There is a problem with washing machines with a display. may be displayed as a series of letters and numbers:

• "ERROR5";
• "ERR5";
• "E5";
• "E05".

In Candy machines that are not equipped with a display, the analogue of E05 is a series of flashing indicator lights. In case of a given failure, there should be five such light signals in a row, after which there is a pause, and the signals are repeated again.In different models of devices, these may be different indicators; you should pay attention to the number of light signals.

In some cases, when washing in modes without heating water, there may be no stoppage in operation, and code E05 does not appear on the display.

Cause and troubleshooting

In rare cases, the issuance of a fault code is associated with a voltage drop or by chance coincidence. In this case, restarting the Candy machine will help correct the situation.

To do this, turn it off (pull out the plug from the socket), wait a quarter of an hour and turn it on again.

If the cause was a random failure, the code will not appear again. Otherwise, it is necessary to proceed to diagnostics of the device when it is partially disassembled.

Thermal sensor

Depending on the condition under which the fault code appears, it is possible to determine what is broken in the equipment. If the error appears immediately when you turn on the machine, then the cause may be an open circuit.

When an error occurs, at first glance, without a system, at different stages, the sensor may penetrate the housing. Also, if the temperature sensor fails, it can transmit incorrect data to the control unit. The resistance value is measured with a multimeter. The solution to the problem is to replace the temperature sensor.

Analysis of the operation of the Candy thermal sensor - what it looks like and where it is located in the washing machine:

heating element

When the problem is with the heating element, the Candy washing machine stops working during the washing process after 10 to 20 minutes have passed from starting. However, there is no water heating. It is possible to verify this. When you put your hand on the glass of the hatch, it remains cold. But in some cases, E05 may appear at other stages of work.

To access the part, remove the back cover from the Candy case. To remove the heating element from its seat, you need to act very carefully. The heating element itself “sits” very tightly. It is recommended to analyze the condition of the heating element and temperature sensor immediately, since they belong to the same unit.

You can see how to replace the heating element in the video:

Control block

If tracks or elements on the Candy control unit burn out, incorrect operation of not only the temperature sensor, but also other components may occur. The block is removed for inspection and further repairs. Almost always it can be restored, but in case of very serious damage the part is completely replaced.

Programmer

In Candy models with electromechanical control The failure may be caused by a programmer known as the program selector. If it burns out, the part is replaced.

Wiring

Damage to the wiring in the circuit of elements that are responsible for heating water (heating element, control module, temperature sensor) can lead to the issuance of E05.

Frequent vibration during washing can lead to malfunction., which can cause loose contacts, as well as physical damage to the wires themselves, for example, as a result of rodent attacks.

To solve the problem, the Kandy washing machine is partially disassembled, the integrity of the wires and the quality of the contacts are checked. If necessary, they twist, replace the cable and carry out other required work.

Call the master

If you can’t fix the Candy machine yourself, you should call a technician.It is better to contact specialized companies that specialize in repairing household appliances and have been providing their services for years. Studying information about such companies and reading reviews will help you avoid scammers and scammers.

The cost of work depends on many factors - the complexity of the repair, the company’s pricing policy, etc. In Moscow, the average price for repairs will be:

• replacement of the programmer – from 2,000 rubles;
• restoration of electrical wiring – from 1,500 rubles;
• replacement of heating elements - from 2,200 rubles;
• repair of the control unit – from 2,400 rubles;
• Replacing a temperature sensor - about 2,000 rubles.

Prevention measures

In order to avoid encountering error E05 on your Candy machine, Attention should be paid to preventive measures:

1. Failures and breakdowns of electronic components are often caused by voltage surges. To avoid overload and extend the life of your washing machine, it is advisable to install a voltage stabilizer.
2. Infrequent cleaning of the washing machine leads to breakdown of the heating element. Hard water, detergent residues and small debris washed from clothes literally stick to the surface of the heating element, forming persistent deposits.

   Using suitable detergents and regular cleaning will help prevent this from happening.

3. Washing only at low or, conversely, only at maximum temperatures also leads to failure of the heating element and the accumulation of deposits on it and in the tank.
4. Do not allow strong vibrations when operating the washing machine. To do this, the floor must be level, the laundry in the drum must not exceed the recommended maximum, and the machine itself must be level.
5. The electrical wiring of the washing machine should be protected from physical damage, including from pets and mice.

Recommendations

When repairing a Candy washing machine You should use the following expert advice:

1. All repair work is carried out with the electricity turned off and the water supply shut off.
2. Before you begin the repair, you should prepare the necessary tools - screwdrivers, multimeter, pliers, etc.
3. Without the necessary knowledge, you should not attempt to open a washing machine and make complex repairs.
4. It is advisable to carry out diagnostics and inspection of the washing machine in a bright room, with good access to the device from all sides, including from the rear wall.
5. Diagnosis of possible faults should be carried out sequentially, without jumping from one node to another.
6. Replacement parts are selected taking into account the specific model of the washing machine, and not just the name of the manufacturer.
7. Before repair work, the water from the washing machine tank must be drained and the drum must be emptied of things.

Conclusion

Error E05 on a Kandy washing machine almost always indicates that the appliance will need to be repaired. Taking into account your own experience and skills, it is possible to perform some types of repairs on your own, but most often you cannot do it without the help of a specialist.
