H2O error appears on the scoreboard in the washing machine when there are problems with water.
The H2O code, if we recall the lessons of chemistry, resembles the formula of water. Only if in chemistry H2O it means an oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms, then everything is simpler in a washing machine - this is a signal of a problem.
H2O error in the Indesit washing machine means that in the allotted time the water did not collect enough to wash or rinse.
The error code H2O in Indesit brand washing machines can be understood not only as a shortfall, but also as an excess. If a larger volume of water enters the drum than is necessary for the washing or rinsing process, the cause must also be eliminated.
What precedes the appearance of errors H2O
After starting the washing through a 5-10 minutes from the start, the process hangs, and the display shows the code H2O.Before that, you could observe such processes:
- The machine did not get water at all.
- Scored, but too little.
- Scored, but too much.
- Recruitment occurred constantly.
Rare, but there are cases when the washing was carried out in the normal mode, but the water level provoked a failure at the rinsing stage.
The code can be displayed for no apparent reason. If you include a separate program for draining or spinning, the error H20 in the washing machine will not interfere with these processes.
Important! If the CID Indesit generates an H2O error, combining it with other error codes, for example - F01 or F08, then the root cause of the failure lies just in the second error.
Causes of
- Failure occurred due to one of the objective reasons: the water supply valve was shut off;there is no water in the riser;there is pressure, but the cleaning filter is clogged( located immediately in front of the drain valve).The inlet valve could also fail.
- Water, entering the system, immediately drains from it. Usually it goes down the drain, but a serious leak is not excluded. To remove the error, it is worth figuring out why the drain is happening. A commonplace reason for this is a drain hose, the location of which is broken, or it was originally mounted not according to the instructions. This happens if the drain pipe entrance to the sewer is too low above the floor, so there are no obstacles to free draining.
How to resolve the H2O error
H2O is a common mistake of any type of Indesit washing machine, so it’s better to immediately understand the reasons for its occurrence to ensure comfortable operation of the equipment.
If the reason in the hose described above, then the solution of the problem does not require repair and a wizard call, you can cope on your own.
When draining water from the
system at the same time. To cope with a breakdown, the hose must be correctly mounted - it is hung on the special fasteners provided by the manufacturer on the back wall. As a result, the highest point of the fastener is practically at the top of the SM.
If the length of the hose is not enough, it is worth extending the tube. What to do to lengthen the hose? For this you need a second hose, an adapter and 2 clamps.
If everything was done correctly, but the next time you wash it, H2O still burns, then the reason was not only in the hose - it is possible that the control module, the pump or another CMA node failed.
H2O error - what to do next
When the Indesit washing machine gives an error H20, you can not rush to call the master - in many cases you will be able to fix this problem yourself. Fault codes are invented by developers to prompt the user:
- Water shut off. It is necessary to check if the valve that supplies it to the CM is not closed. In the case of an overlapped tap, the water does not flow at all, but if it is slightly opened, it flows too slowly. Then the display also shows an error.
- There is no water in the plumbing system. If this is the case, the error appeared through no fault of the typewriter, it’s worth resolving a water supply failure - call a plumber.
- Pipeline pressure too low. If the pressure is low, the water takes a long time, and an H2O error appears. The problem is to look in the water supply, rather than a washing machine.
- Clogged mesh water filter. This grid has the property of clogging with time, which prevents the normal flow of water into the system.
To clean the hose, unscrew the filter, rinse it thoroughly. It is possible for a quarter of an hour to lay in it a solution of citric acid, which will remove the limescale.
- Failure in the module( board) control. If H2O appeared for the first time, then there may be a failure in the display or control panel CM.
Reset the error by disconnecting the machine from the network for 10 minutes. Take care of electrical contacts that deteriorate in high humidity conditions in the room.
Air dehumidifiers and good ventilation may save spare parts for a washing machine.
If none of the methods described above helped, and the H2O error appears again at the stage of rinsing or during washing, then it is best to contact the master or the service center with this question.
