Fridge not cooling

Failed evaporator or condenser fan motor stops airflow — fridge compartment warms while freezer holds temperature.

Ice maker not producing ice

Clogged water inlet valve or failed ice maker module — common on EI French door models with in-door ice dispensers.

Frost build-up in freezer

Failed defrost heater or thermostat causes ice to accumulate on evaporator coils, blocking airflow to both compartments.

Water pooling under crisper drawer

Blocked defrost drain or cracked drain pan causes meltwater to collect and refreeze at the bottom of the fridge.

IQ-Touch display error codes

Control board or sensor faults display error codes and lock the appliance into a protection cycle.

Compressor clicking and not starting

Worn start relay causes rapid clicking without the compressor engaging — fridge never reaches set temperature.

E21 drain error

Blocked drain pump filter or kinked drain hose prevents water from evacuating — machine halts mid-cycle with a full drum.

E11 water fill error

Faulty water inlet valve or pressure sensor fault prevents the drum from filling to the correct level.

Door gasket leaking or mouldy

Torn bellows seal allows water to escape onto the floor and causes persistent drum odour on EFLS models.

Drum bearing noise

Worn rear drum bearing produces a loud grinding or rumbling noise during spin — worsens progressively.

Door latch not locking

Failed door interlock prevents the cycle from starting — washer powers on but won't respond to cycle selection.

Motor control board fault

Failed motor control board stops the drum from spinning or causes the washer to halt unexpectedly mid-cycle.

No heat — clothes still damp

Blown thermal fuse or failed heating element — often caused by a blocked exhaust vent overheating the unit.

Perfect Steam not working

Blocked steam nozzle or failed steam generator prevents moisture injection — steam refresh cycles produce no benefit.

Drum not turning

Worn or snapped drive belt or failed idler pulley — motor runs but drum stays stationary.

Moisture sensor not ending cycle

Coated or corroded sensor bars misread dryness — dryer runs too long or cuts off with clothes still damp.

Squealing or grinding drum noise

Worn drum glides or rear bearing allows metal-on-metal contact — worsens progressively and can seize the drum.

Door switch failure — won't start

Broken door latch microswitch prevents the control board from receiving the door-closed signal, blocking all cycle starts.

Not draining — standing water

Blocked sump filter or failed drain pump leaves standing water in the tub after the wash cycle ends.

SatelliteSpray not cleaning properly

Clogged satellite spray arm or failed wash motor reduces water pressure — upper rack items come out with residue.

Door latch not securing

Worn or broken door latch prevents the cycle from starting — dishwasher powers on but won't run.

Dishes not drying

Failed heating element or vent fan motor leaves dishes wet at the end of the cycle.

IQ-Touch control panel unresponsive

Main PCB or touchpad failure — buttons register nothing or the unit starts and stops randomly without input.

Grinding noise during wash

Debris lodged in the wash pump impeller or worn motor bearings produce noise that escalates with each cycle.

Induction zone not detecting cookware

Failed induction coil or power inverter board stops the zone from energizing — no heat even with compatible magnetic cookware.

Gas burner won't ignite

Cracked or fouled igniter tip prevents spark — burner clicks continuously without lighting on gas models.

Surface element stuck on high

Failed infinite switch locks the coil element at full power regardless of dial position — a burn and fire hazard.

IQ-Touch control error

Control board communication fault causes display errors, burner lockouts or all zones becoming unresponsive.

Cracked glass cooktop

Thermal shock or impact fractures the ceramic-glass surface — continued use risks electrical exposure and requires full replacement.

Gas valve not opening

Faulty gas valve solenoid coil prevents gas flow to the burner even when the igniter sparks normally.

Oven not reaching temperature

Failed bake or broil element reduces heat output — oven takes too long to preheat or never reaches the target temperature.

Convection fan not running

Worn convection fan motor or broken blade causes hot spots and uneven cooking — food browns inconsistently.

Door locked after self-clean

Door latch motor or lock switch fault leaves the oven door locked after a self-clean or Steam Clean cycle completes.

Temperature sensor fault (F30 / F31)

Open or shorted oven temperature sensor sends incorrect readings — oven overheats, underheats or shuts down mid-cycle.

Steam Clean not working

Blocked steam nozzle or failed steam generator prevents moisture injection — Steam Clean cycles produce no cleaning benefit.

Interior light not working

Burned-out bulb or failed light socket board — makes monitoring food during baking impossible.
