If the Atlas F14 error occurred in the washing machine, you are wondering what the code means, what to do and how to fix the damage that caused it.
Today we will find a solution to the problem in which the CMA Atlas illuminates the error F14.
Content:
- 1 Reflection and error signswhen her self test system fails.
Error F14 indicates software failure. Electro-mechanical washer Atlant will report a software failure with a combination of light bulbs: in this case, the 1st and 2nd indicators will flash.
A program crash will be a sign of breakdown: when choosing any wash mode, the machine “freezes” and does not execute the program.
This is also expressed by the fact that:
- The mode is set, and then it is lost.
- The machine starts washing, but does not finish it.
- Washer Atlant independently switches the mode.
Self-Solving the
Problem When the Atlas machine shows an F14 error, service center wizards usually resort to such actions:
- Reprogram the control board.
- Change the electronic module completely.
The above operations require knowledge, experience and appropriate tools, despite the fact that the Atlant washing machine is not difficult to assemble. How to rectify the situation yourself, if the F14 is on the board?
You can perform these preliminary actions:
- Reload SM.
- Run test mode.
- Run the self diagnostic AGR.
To restart the machine:
- Press and hold the “OFF” key. SMA Atlas must shut off.
- After turning on the washer, try running the program again.
- If nothing happened, unplug the Atlas washing machine from the mains. Wait 10-20 minutes. After switching on, pay attention to the board, if F 14 error disappeared.
If CMA Atlanta still gives an error, there is a sense in the service test or the launch of self-diagnostics. How to carry out these actions is described in detail in the instructions for your Atlant washing machine model — find the manual and follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
Other ways to eliminate F14
If the preliminary actions did not help, and the washer still shows the unfortunate code on the display, then other measures can be taken.
Check the connection to the
sewer. If you have a drain hose connected incorrectly, this can cause self-draining of water from the tank, which causes the program to crash. As a result, the machine issues malfunction codes, including F14.
. Clean the
drain filter. If you notice that the software crashes during spinning or rinsing, but the washing still ends, maybe the control board is OK.Try to arrange a general cleaning of your washer, clean the water drain filter.
How to fix the situation? Proceed as follows:
- Locate the small door in the lower corner of the CM.
- Open the flap, under which you will see a large rubber filter plug.
- Place a rag under the typewriter or replace the container if there is a drain hose in the hatch.
- Unscrew the cap and drain the waste water.
- Inspect the filter for clogging. Clean and rinse under the tap.
- Put the filter in place and try running the wash again.
If you managed to clear the error, it means that you did everything correctly.
Examine the
control board. Most often, error codes indicate a malfunction of the electronic module software. Experts do not recommend trying to check and repair it yourself - the item is expensive, and the work is difficult.
But if you are a restless home master, and you want to make sure that the F14 was highlighted on the board because of the module, act!
Open the front panel of the washing machine, remove the board and inspect it. You should be alerted by such moments:
- burned contacts;
- frayed or tangled wires;
- terminals loose or loose;
- sensor fasteners unscrewed;
- visible signs of damage to the sensors;
- fused board housing and the like.
Found something? So, call the master - entrust the management board to a good specialist. He quickly returns the performance of the machine Atlant, without risking expensive parts.
Now you know what the F14 code in the Atlant washing machine means, how to reset errors in the home.
