Ice maker stops producing ice

Clogged water inlet valve or failed ice maker module — common on RF and RH series 4-Door Flex models with dual ice makers.

Fridge not cooling / freezer over-freezing

Dual evaporator fan failure or defrost heater fault causes one zone to lose temperature while the other over-compensates.

Water pooling under the crisper drawer

Blocked defrost drain or cracked drain pan allows meltwater to collect and refreeze beneath the vegetable bins.

Error codes 8E, 14E, 40E

Sensor, fan motor or ice room thermistor faults that trigger the display panel and lock the appliance into a protection cycle.

Family Hub touchscreen unresponsive

Display board or Wi-Fi module failure — screen freezes or goes black while cooling continues normally.

Inverter compressor clicking and cycling

Start relay capacitance loss causes rapid on/off cycling without pulling the cabinet down to set temperature.

4C / 4E water supply error

Kinked inlet hose, blocked mesh filter or failed water valve prevents the drum from filling and locks the cycle.

5C / 5E drain error

Blocked debris filter or failed drain pump motor stops water from evacuating — washer halts mid-cycle with a full drum.

Door gasket leaking or mouldy

Torn or collapsed bellows seal allows water to escape onto the floor and is a common source of drum odour.

Excessive vibration and banging

Worn shock absorbers or loose counterweight bolts cause the drum to move violently during high-speed spin.

Drum not spinning (UB / UE unbalance)

Hall sensor or motor control board failure stops the drum before spin starts — often misread as a load balance error.

AddWash door won't open mid-cycle

Secondary door interlock or pressure sensor fault prevents the pause-and-add feature from unlocking safely.

No heat — clothes still damp

Blown thermal fuse or failed heating element — often caused by a restricted exhaust vent increasing operating temperature beyond the fuse limit.

Drum not turning

Worn or snapped drive belt or failed idler pulley — motor runs but drum stays stationary and clothes sit in a hot, static drum.

HC / HE overheating error

Thermistor drift or blocked exhaust duct causes the dryer to exceed safe temperature limits and shut down mid-cycle.

Squealing or grinding drum noise

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

Moisture sensor not ending cycle

Coated or corroded sensor bars stop detecting dryness — dryer runs indefinitely or shuts off too early.

Door switch failure — won't start

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

5C / 5E drain error

Blocked sump filter or failed drain pump prevents water from clearing after the wash cycle — standing water remains in the tub.

Dishes not cleaning properly

Clogged spray arm holes or failed circulation pump reduces water pressure — upper rack items come out with residue.

LE / LC water leak error

Door gasket wear or loose hose connection triggers the flood sensor at the base, shutting the unit down.

Dishes not drying

Failed heating element or vent fan motor leaves dishes wet — condensation dry models are particularly sensitive to element failure.

Control panel unresponsive

Main PCB or touchpad membrane failure — buttons register nothing or random cycles start without input.

Loud grinding or humming noise

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

Gas burner won't ignite

Cracked or carbon-fouled igniter tip prevents spark generation — burner clicks continuously without lighting.

Induction burner not detecting cookware

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

Surface element stays on max heat

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

Control panel error C-d0 / C-F0

Touch control board communication fault — display glitches, burners become unresponsive or all zones lock out.

Cracked glass cooktop

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

Flex Zone not dividing correctly

Bridge element relay fault prevents the large Flex Zone from splitting into two independent cooking areas as designed.

Oven not reaching set temperature

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

Convection fan not running

Worn fan motor or broken blade causes uneven cooking — hot spots develop and baked goods come out inconsistently browned.

SE / E-0E door lock error

Door latch motor or lock switch fault leaves the oven door locked after self-clean or triggers a false lock during normal use.

Temperature sensor fault (tE error)

Open or shorted oven temperature sensor sends false readings — oven overheats, under-heats or shuts down.

Interior light not working

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

Steam Cook function not working

Blocked steam nozzle or failed steam generator prevents moisture injection — steam-cook programs produce no benefit.
