How to decipher error E22 in a Candy washing machine, find the breakdown and fix it?

Washing machines TM Kandy are popular home appliances. One of the advantages of such washing machines is their high reliability.

But Candy can also malfunction - the washing machine notifies you of an unusual situation by issuing an error code, for example, E22.

Read on to learn how to decipher the code, determine the cause of the breakdown and eliminate it.

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

The symbolic-numeric code E22 means that the Candy washing machine has a breakdown of the pressure switch or there is a problem in the heating circuit. This state of affairs does not allow washing to continue and requires correction.

An error appears could after the following situations:

1. The washing machine filled and drained water several times (without washing);
2. The machine did not draw water and froze when rinsing or when trying to refill;
3. The washing machine works for some time (from 10 to 20 minutes) without complaints, and then it displays “E22” and freezes.

Depending on the model of the washing machine, the error code is may look different:

• "ERROR22";
• "ERR22";
• "E22".

In washing machines that do not have a display, the washing machine indicates a failure with a series of flashing indicators. In a situation with error E22, there should be 22 flashes in a row. After a pause of several seconds, the series of flashes repeats.

Causes of occurrence and solutions

Almost always this code indicates a serious breakdown of Kandy, which requires diagnostics, as well as repair or replacement of components located inside the device body. But sometimes a failure can be the result of a random combination of circumstances, such as a power surge in the network.

If the appearance of E22 is not caused by a serious breakdown, then after restarting the code will no longer appear. Otherwise, you will have to move on to analyzing the nodes.

Pressostat

If the water level sensor malfunctions, it can send erroneous information to the Candy control board, giving an overflow signal. In this case, the device is able to draw and drain water several times, and then stop working with a code displayed on the display.

The problem may be due to the following factors:

• breakdown of the sensor itself;
• damage/clogging of the pressure switch hose;
• clogged pressure chamber.

To restore the operation of the machine, It may be necessary to carry out the following work:

1. Cleaning the camera parts.
2. Part replacement.
3. Checking/cleaning the pressure switch hose.
4. If the tube falls off the pressure switch body, return it to its place.

Fill valve

With such a failure, the Candy washing machine can fill and drain water. If the membrane on the valve allows water to pass through (has lost its seal), too much liquid flows in even when closed. This leads to the tank overflowing and an error code is issued, as the process of water intake continues. Solving the problem - replacing the valve.

heating element

If the heating element fails, the Candy machine does not heat the water. Before this, the cycle works smoothly, without failures, and only when moving to the water heating stage does a problematic situation arise.In this case, the wash freezes, and E22 lights up on the display. Replacing the heating element with a new one will help solve the problem.

Control block

A breakdown in the Candy control unit is a rarer situation, but quite possible. When elements and tracks burn out, there may be no heating at all, or alternate between filling and draining water. In this case, high-quality diagnostics is necessary. It is carried out by removing the fee.

Wiring, contacts

If the contacts and wiring integrity are broken, the washing machine may produce E22. If there is a break in the electrical circuit, signals do not pass from the control unit to the individual components involved in the process of filling and heating water.

The solution to the problem is a complete check of the washing machine's wiring.. If necessary, the contacts are cleaned, the cable is changed, etc.

Drain

If the Candy washing machine was just installed in a new location and began to issue E22, there is a possibility that the reason for the faulty code is improper organization of the drain system. If the drain hose is lowered and does not have a lifting point above the tank level, self-draining is possible - water flows out spontaneously.

Call the master

Error E22 signals failures, the elimination of which requires disassembling the Candy washing machine and analyzing several groups of components. If it is impossible to carry out such work yourself, you should call a specialist. To do this, it is better to contact a company whose list of services includes repair of household washing equipment.

Companies that have positive reviews and have been operating for a long time value their reputation. This circumstance minimizes the likelihood of falling into a bad specialist or running into scammers. When calling a technician, you should indicate the model of your washing machine and the nature of the problem.

The average cost of work depends on the region, city, complexity of the repair and the price list of the company providing the services. In Moscow, average prices are as follows:

• wiring repair – about 1,500 rubles;
• repair of the control unit - about 2400 rubles;
• replacement of the filling valve - 1700 rubles;
• replacement of heating elements - from 2200 rubles;
• replacing or repairing a pressure switch - about 1800 rubles.

Repairs often require replacement of parts. Their cost is paid separately. After the repair is completed, the technician performs a test run of the unit, after which he issues a warranty.

Prevention measures

To prevent error E22 from appearing on the Candy display, During operation, you should remember the following preventive measures:

1. The machine should be cleaned periodically. This will extend the service life of the heating element, since contact with hard water, detergents, and dirt washed from the fabric settles on the heating element.
2. Constant washing only in cold water or, conversely, at the maximum temperature, has a bad effect on the condition of the heating element.
3. If the water in the water supply is very dirty, has impurities and small fractions, it is recommended to install a filter at the inlet of the system.
4. If the voltage in the apartment is unstable, a voltage stabilizer will help prevent fluctuations in order to connect the machine through it.

Recommendations

When repairing a Kandy washing machine that displays E22 on the display, The following recommendations will help:

1. Some types of work require special knowledge and experience (for example, repairing a control board), so such work should be entrusted to a specialist.
2. The washing machine body can only be opened after disconnecting the device from all communications.
3. You should buy replacement parts strictly for a specific device model.

Conclusion

Error E22 almost always indicates the need to diagnose and repair the components of the washing machine. Sometimes all the work can be done on your own, but more often you will need the help of a specialist.

To prevent this problem from occurring in the future, It is recommended to adhere to preventive measures and recommendations of the manufacturer itself.
