Bush Washing Machine Error Numbers and Meanings
1. Washing machine door lock not respondingWhen the appliance has detected a problem with the door safety lock or the interlock system this error number will appear. It may be a wiring issue. Or it could be related to water detection inside the drum. A faulty door lock or mechanism may be the cause, as can a fault in the pressure system.
2. Water failing to drain in a reasonable timeThe normal drain time is approximately six minutes. If the water hasn’t drained within this time it could be due to a blocked filter, an obstructed drain hose, or a defective level sensor switch or drain pump. An engineer will need to assess these issues before making a diagnosis.
3. Washing machine not draining at allWhen the washing machine can’t drain the water there are several reasons why. Drain pump and level sensor wiring, a defective drain pump, or obstructions or blockages in the drain hoses or filter. The pump may have a bearing failure or an obstruction of the impeller.
4. Wash heater problem detectedWhen error number 4 is displayed there’s a problem with the water heating element. Or the thermistor temperature sensor. Wiring and connections to the heating element and temperature sensor will need to be checked by an engineer, as this fault is on the heating circuit.
5. Water draining failureAnother issue with drainage can be the pressure of the water supply. And a problem with the water inlet valve. Your engineer will need to establish that the air chamber and pressure sensor are free of blockages. And that wiring and connections to the inlet valve are secure.
6. Failure of motor heat protectorWithin the main drive, motor circuits are connections and connector blocks that protect the motor. If these are damaged the appliance will detect an error and prevent the motor from overheating. The carbon brushes will need to be inspected, as will the tacho connections.
7. Error or failure of motorAlthough the exact nature of this fault cannot be located by the machine the number 7 indicates an error on the main drive motor circuit. Initial checks should be carried out on the wiring and connections. And on the connector block and carbon brushes. By a trained engineer.
8. Overfill situation detectedUsing the wrong amount or incorrect detergent can cause this error number to appear. The water pressure sensor may also be faulty, as can the wiring to the water level sensor. The main electronic controller may also need to be looked at by your technician.
UNbThis code will be displayed when the washing machine detects an unbalanced situation. This could be caused by several factors including problems with the air chamber, pressure switch hose, water level or sensor, and the main electronic controller.
