The Indesit washing machine generates an F08 error on the display, and on the electromechanical model the “Quick wash” light is on and the “Revolutions” indicator is flashing? Be careful, this is one of the most dangerous errors that can lead to spontaneous combustion of Indesit CMA.
Before attempting to decrypt the DTC, unplug the machine.
Causes of error
What does error F 08 mean? The control element of the heating element is closed on the control panel, or the tubular electric heater itself is faulty.
We will understand why on the display of the Indesit machine, it shows error F08:
- The TEN relay is flooded.
- A temperature sensor or heating element has shorted out.
- The problem lies in the faulty control module.
- Only 1% probability that the reason is in the engine or damaged wiring.
Externally, the breakdown is expressed in the fact that the Indesit washing machine does not heat water, or the washing does not end.
Solution to the problem
What to do and how to fix error 08? First decide what the reason is.
Malfunction of the heater or temperature sensor
First of all, you need to ring the heater with a multimeter:
- Unscrew the back of the washer.
- Disconnect all wires, make sure that the device is completely de-energized.
- Set the multimeter to 20 ohms and measure the resistance.
- If the value is more than 20 ohms, then everything is in order.
- If the number 1 is displayed on the screen, then there is an open circuit inside the heater, and its replacement is required.
- Check the heater for a breakdown. Damage to the dielectric inside the device can cause sparks and fire. To dial, you also need a tester, a video on the topic will help to verify it:
How to fix the breakdown and solve the problem:
- Disconnect the heating element from the wires, unscrew the fasteners.
- Replace the heater.
To remove the error f08 on the Indesit washing machine, check the temperature sensor for signs of rust and corrosion. If any are found, it will be necessary to replace the heating element with the sensor; cleaning is useless.
Control Module Failure
If the previous checks did not give a result, a malfunction in the control system could occur. In this regard, the machine does not receive commands for heating.
Why did the crash happen? There are many options, a professional will help determine the right one. The board is a complex and expensive part, therefore it is better to trust the master.
The reason is in the wiring or motor
Conditions of high humidity provoke oxidation of the motor contacts, which leads to an error code.
What to do? You will need to ring the motor, then remove it, inspect the contacts, clean and blow out the dust brushes. Also check the wiring leading to the engine. Perhaps this will help reset error 8.
Knowing what the DTC means, you can quickly find out why the breakdown occurred. But repair yourself or call the master - you decide.
