Is your Bauknecht washing machine showing an error code? Below you'll find all known error codes, what they mean, and what you can check yourself. All information has been researched and, where possible, verified with the manufacturer. Can't solve it yourself, or does the fault keep coming back? We often schedule a technician within 24 hours.
Leak - water on the base of the machine (possibly water protection or circuit board)
Technician needed
Heating fault
Check the heating element's plug hasn't burnt out
Motor fault (problem with carbon brushes or tacho coil)
Have the tacho coil resistance measured (should be ~135 Ohm), technician needed for replacement if faulty
Module fault (possibly a problem with the heating element)
Have the heating element resistance measured (should be ~25 Ohm), technician needed
Blocked drain pump or fault in the water level control system (sometimes: module control fault)
Unplug, disconnect the hoses, remove the front panel and check the bottom for blockages (lint, coins, hairpins). No blockage found: technician needed for water level control/pressure switch
Water overflow contact pressure switch activated (or: water temperature sensor NTC out of range)
Technician needed
Motor field switching/field control incorrect
Technician needed
Drum blocked
Check for an object stuck between the drum and tub (coin, nail, bra underwire), try turning the drum gently by hand
Motor fault - worn carbon brushes, faulty/loose tacho sensor, or wiring problem
Check the carbon brushes (replace if shorter than 10-15mm), check the tacho sensor and wiring for corrosion
