Italian appliance manufacturer Smeg, which has been producing high quality household appliances since 1948, offers some striking washing machines in its portfolio. However, these washing machines, irrespective of efficiency and eco-friendliness, can and do sometimes break down.
This means that your plans are put on hold when your appliance malfunctions. But you don’t have to worry because in this guide, we have prepared a list of various Smeg washing machine error codes to help you get an idea of where the faults lie and what steps you might need to take to resolve them. Let’s explore in more detail below.
Like most modern appliances, your Smeg washing machine will display error codes when a fault occurs that prevents your machine from functioning optimally or at all. As such, before you can attend to troubleshooting your appliance, you need to ensure accurate diagnostics. The short but handy guide below will assist you in doing so.
Smeg washing machine error code E1 indicates a problem with the NTC sensor, which relates to the temperature within your washing machine. This sensor is generally connected to a heater element and one or both may be faulty.
The heating element is responsible for bringing the temperature in your washing machine up. If it’s faulty, the machine won’t work and your clothes won’t get clean.
This is most likely caused by a fault in the pressure switch.
There is a problem with the water sensor system.
This error code will manifest itself in either too much water accumulating in your washing machine or a fault with draining of this water.
A short-circuit error is one that is related to the electrical wiring of your washing machine.
It is highly likely that this sensor needs to be cleaned because it is not accurately sensing the right pressure in the washing machine.
This means the water flow in your washing machine may be blocked.
Another wiring issue but this time this is connected to the door lock mechanism.
This reduces the amount of noise emitted by your washing machine. If it fails to work properly, your machine may become excessively noisy.
This could be caused by a faulty door seal or flange.
If you see a Smeg washing machine error code E13, you need to ensure that the door can lock in place and/or that the door’s wiring is correctly connected.
This pump continuously moves the water and detergent during a wash cycle. However, if broken and needs replacement, it can be a costly part to replace.
This can happen if there is low water pressure in the washing machine or an insufficient amount of water.
Too much detergent has been placed in the washing machine.
A Smeg washing machine error code E18 means that you have placed an unbalanced load of laundry in your washer. To correct this, simply remove all the clothes and repack the clothes evenly while ensuring a fair distribution of small and light and heavier clothing items.
Your display screen is not able to communicate with the rest of the washing machine.
A fill sensor error will tell you whether the water levels in the washing machine are sufficient or not.
This error relates to the main control board. It’s advisable to call an expert to take a look at it.
This is an error related to how much electrical power your washing machine is getting.
If your Smeg washing machine also comes with a dryer function, the NTC sensor of the dryer may be faulty.
This is an error that relates to the heating element of your washer’s dryer and could signal electrical, connection or wiring issues.
The temperature in your washing machine’s drum is too high.
Another overheating problem with the NTC sensor. Make sure you call in a pro who will be able to accurately diagnose and troubleshoot the problem.
Here, you may need to unplug your washer and have your main control board replaced.
This is another problem or fault code that requires the experience of a professional appliance repair technician.
