Error codes for Gorenje washing machines with interpretation

Fault codes for Gorenje washing machines with GP1-GP5 control systems.

Code	Description of the problem	Possible faults	Possible solution methods
F1 (F1) Typical for machines with control system GP1-GP5.	Washing machine does not heat water	Temperature sensor malfunction.	Check the absence or presence of breaks in the thermal sensor - control module circuit. Troubleshoot.
F2 (Ф2) For machines with control system GP1-GP5.	The washing machine does not turn on.	The hatch lock is faulty.	Press the “Stop” button to reset the program. Check whether a foreign object (small piece of clothing, its edge) is preventing the hatch from closing. Check the wiring of the hatch locking device and, if there are problems, fix it. If the measures taken do not help, the problem is with the UBL itself (hatch blocking device) and will have to be repaired/replaced.
F3 (Ф3) For vehicles equipped with GP1-GP5 control system.	The machine does not take in enough water, stopping the program before “waiting” for the tank to be completely filled.	Problems with water supply. Intake valve malfunction. Pressostat failure.	Assess how strong the pressure is in the water supply system; if it is insufficient, check the inlet valve by turning it sufficiently, or wait until there is sufficient pressure. Inspect the inlet valve for sticking, rinse the filter from limescale blockages, and install it in place. Inspect the pressure switch (most often you have to change its hose or the part itself).
F4 (Ф4) Error variant typical for machines of the PG1 - PG3 series	The washing machine suddenly stops in the middle of the cycle and stops spinning the drum (it may try to start the motor again at intervals of a minute). If this fails, the equipment can begin to drain warm water (with a washing mode of +60 degrees and above), collecting cold water, which then, after a short time, is still drained. The error code does not go away.	Tachogenerator failure. Failure of the control module.	Assess the degree of damage to the tachogenerator: the wiring may burn out, sections of which will have to be replaced. If it doesn’t help or no fault is found there, the problem is in the control module. It will need to be repaired or replaced.
F4 (Ф4) Error for Gorenje washing machines models with control system GP4-GP5 Read also: How to choose a dishwasher and not stand at the sink every day		Electronic board malfunction. Problems with the inverter that controls the number of revolutions. Brush cushioning. Motor failure.	Restart the washing program. If the code does not appear, everything is fine. Check the condition of the inverter and control board. If necessary, replace the defective part. Inspect the brushes (brushes wear out most often on machines that have been used for a long time). They often have to be changed. Inspect and, if damaged, replace the motor.
F5 (Ф5) For machines with control system GP1-GP3	The washing machine does not spin the drum.	The drive motor triac burns out due to severe overheating of the motor.	Turn off the washing machine, leave it for 15-20 minutes, and try to turn it on again. Change the motor winding. Eliminate defects in the control board, replace the triac.
F5 (Ф5) For machines with control system GP4-GP5	The machine stops the motor in the middle of the wash cycle.	Lost communication between the electronic controller and the inverter.	Inspect and diagnose the connections of the “controller - triac” circuit, eliminate breaks if any. If the above measures did not help, or no break was detected, the problem is in the specified components themselves, you will have to replace the inverter or controller.
F6 (F6) Typical for all of the above control systems.	The washing machine does not heat the water.	The heating element has failed. The electronic unit is faulty.	Inspect and repair the heating element. If repair is impossible, replace it. Repair the control board, electronic controller.
F7 (Ф7) General error (for GP1-GP5 control systems).	During the execution of the work program, the machine cannot drain the waste water after 2 attempts, then it interrupts operation, issuing the specified code.	Drain system clogged. The wiring in the drainage system has burned out. Failure of the water level sensor. Controller failure or breakdown.	Unscrew, inspect and wash the drain filter, and install it in place. Inspect the drain pump for serviceability. Inspect and, if necessary, replace the pressure switch.
F8 (Ф8) Typical for GP1-GP5 systems.	The machine spins poorly due to the low rotation speed of the drum.	Engine malfunction.	Check the position of the drive belt: if it is stretched, replace it; if it has slipped, replace it. Check the motor itself. If there is irreversible damage, replace it. Inspect the inverter (relevant for machines with a GP4, 5 control system, for example, WA62S3).
F9 (Ф9) Relevant for machines with control systems GP2-GP5.	The machine stops working (at any stage of the program), then begins to drain the water. It refuses to launch the program again.	Triggering of the AquaStop system - protection against leaks (relevant for machines equipped with this function, for example, Gorenje W1P60S3 WaveActive).	Inspect the pallet. If there is water there, evaluate the degree of tightness of the components and connections. Eliminate possible leaks. If all components are sealed, the problem is in the AquaStop system sensor itself. It needs repair or replacement.

What is most vulnerable?

Unique Gorenje cars come in a variety of shapes and modifications. Units even with a water tank are produced under this brand! But despite the technology, the technology also has weaknesses. Based on statistical data obtained from service centers, we can identify the most common problems with the ASM of this brand:

A quarter of calls to service technicians are related to a broken drain pump.

Next comes the heating element. Either it is not made well enough, or it cannot withstand voltage surges, or it is affected by low-quality water, but heater burnout is the scourge of all automatic washing machines, not only the Gorenye brand.

“Bronze” goes to the drain pipe - leaks, drying out, blockages, all this blocks the normal operation of the drain system.

Another problem with any machine equipped with a commutator EM is the brushes.

Another problem specific to these automatic machines is a broken handle on the door. We will not delve into the solution to this problem, because disassembling the door, buying a new handle for the Gorenje machine and replacing it with your own hands is not difficult even for an inexperienced user.

We will devote the next part of the review to instructions for eliminating the listed faults.

Fault codes for Gorenje washing machines with control systems WA-101/121/132/162/162P

Code	Description of the problem	Possible faults	Possible solution methods
F1 (F1)	The washing machine carries out the operating program without heating the water (provided that it was intended in the given version).	Temperature sensor malfunction.	Conduct diagnostics of the electrical circuits of the temperature sensor for the consequences of a short circuit in them. Repair open circuits and start the machine again.
F2 (Ф2)	The washing machine does not draw water and stops working 8 minutes after starting.	There is no way to get water within a given period of time (4 minutes), neither on the first nor on the second try.	Check the presence of water in the water supply and its sufficient pressure. Make sure the tap is open. Check the fill valve. Inspect the water level sensor. If there are defects, replace the damaged parts with new ones.
F31 (Ф31)	The washing machine does not rotate the drum, stopping the operation during the washing process.	Tachogenerator malfunction.	Check the integrity of the electrical wiring of the tachometer and eliminate any detected breaks. Inspect the tachometer itself, repair or replace the part with a new one.
F32 (Ф32)	The machine suddenly stops washing while the program is running.	Problems with the triac.	Repair the control board or replace it with a new one.
F4 (Ф4)	The washing machine heats the water weakly (no more than 15 degrees), but washes completely. The error appears after the end of the cycle.	Failure of the heating element. Electronic controller malfunction.	Inspect the heating element circuits, eliminate breaks if any. In case of a more complex breakdown, replace the heating element itself. Repair or replace the electronic controller.
F41 (Ф41)	The machine heats the water excessively.	Electronic controller problems.	Inspect the heating element relay, as well as the electronic controller itself. Make repairs or replacements.
F43 (Ф43)	The machine heats the water in the tank very quickly.	Not enough water collected. Leaking tank or drain system. Electronic controller problems.	Check the serviceability of the pressure switch - it may be the cause of the low water level. Check the tank and drain system components for water leaks. Ensure the tightness of the hose, its connections, and the tank. If this is not the problem, you need to look for a breakdown in the electronic controller, repair it or replace the specified part.
F5 (Ф5)	The washing machine does not drain water at all or does not drain it completely for several minutes before the first drain.	Sewer blockage. Problems in the drainage system. Damage to the water level sensor. Controller malfunction.	Check the drain for blockages, remove them, and reconnect the machine. Inspect the drain filter and its components, wash the filter mesh, make sure that there are no foreign objects in the impeller and there are no signs of deformation. Conduct diagnostics of the level sensor: it may not “notice” insufficient water level. If the above measures do not help, check the electronic controller; if it breaks, replace it.
F61 (F61) Diagnosis of the error is only possible by performing a service test. Read also: The best Siemens dishwashers: model ratings, technical characteristics, advantages and disadvantages	The machine spins poorly and rotates the drum slowly.	Problems with the belt. Drum jamming. Motor or controller failure.	Inspect the position of the belt. If it is not in place, place it on the pulley correctly. In manual mode, rotate the drum in one direction, then in the other direction. If there are difficulties, the problem is in a foreign body that has fallen outside its boundaries. Diagnose the operation of the motor and electronic controller. If necessary, replace defective components.
F63 (F63)	The machine suddenly stops washing, becomes silent and displays an error code.	Chain defects. Problems with the control unit.	Ring and eliminate open circuits. Replace the control module.

The hob does not turn on - possible causes and solutions

The hob has long become an integral part of any kitchen. It takes up much less space than a stove, but is equipped with a large number of convenient functions and options. But any, even the most reliable and high-quality equipment, can sooner or later fail. For example, an Lg or Bosch hob does not turn on. If this happens during the warranty period, you must call a technician from the service center or take the equipment yourself for repair. If a malfunction is detected after this period, you can try to restore it yourself before contacting qualified specialists, whose repair services will be very expensive.
