WF 860 F-05 Fault

Fault code F1 can come from a number of different sources and can remain on as long as the machine has power (does not need to be operating). Once a fault is repaired it can be cleared by pressing the Power button. If the fault is still present then it will not
clear. The service manual says: The faults are displayed in the LCD as one of 5 F (fatal) faults or 1 U (user) fault along with the symbol of a spanner. A fatal fault will usually require the assistance of a qualified service person...

Fault Code Description:
Fault Code: F1
LED Display: Rinse LED
Fault: The flood switch has been activated for more than six seconds
Possible Causes
_ Inlet hose to inlet valve connection loose
_ Inlet valve body leak
_ Damage to the fill or drain hoses
_ Heater plate damage (chipped enamel)
_ Seals/O Rings (pinched, contaminated or poor join)
_ Dispenser (seal, diverter valve or weld leak)
_ Lid area (lid motors not functioning correctly, lid off yoke or foreign object interfering with lid seal)

Fault Code Problem Solving:

1.Question: Is there a F1 on both displays? Yes: Go to Question 2. No: If power fails to the bottom tub it will cause thetop tub to go F1. Test heater plate.
2.Question: Has a flood occurred? (N.B. The flood may have dried up) Yes: Go to Question 3. No: Go to Question 13
3.Is the lid sealing on the tub correctly? Yes: Go to Question 5. No: Go to Question 4
4.Question: Are the lid actuators functioning correctly? Yes: Go to Question 5. No: Check the lid actuators are assembled correctly on the slides and yokes. Check the plugs on the RFI board and the terminals on the lid motors. If the lid actuators look slow replace them.
5.Question: Is the water level in the tub high? Yes: Go to Question 6. No: Go to Question 8
6.Question: Is the water inlet valve leaking? Yes: Replace inlet valve. No: Go to Question 7
7.Question: Is the DishDrawer priming correctly? Yes: Go to Question 12. Go to Question 8
8.Question: Is the spray arm split? Yes: Replace spray arm. No: Go to Question 9
9.Question: Is the spray arm running freely? Yes: Go to Question 10. No: Check the rotor is running freely, clear of foreign objects and fitted correctly. Make sure the wash impeller is not slipping off the rotor shaft.
10.Question: Is water leaking from a split inlet or drain hose? Yes: Replace split inlet or drain hose. No: Go to Question 11
11.Question: Is water leaking around the heater plate 'O' rings? Yes: Replace or refit 'O' rings. No: Go to Question 12
12.Question: Is the drain hose blocked? Yes: Clear drain hose of blockage. No:Go to Question 13
13.Question: Is there condensation or foreign matter around the flood switch PCB? Yes: Clear flood sensor of condensation or foreign matter. No: Go to Question 14
14.After clearing water does the F1 fault code still activate? Yes: Replace Chassis RFI board. No: Go to Question 15
15.Refer to Bulletin DW028 DW025, 028, 031, 040

F14 on your model of dishwasher is indicating a blockage, poor water pressure or could be a fault with the pump pressure level switch or circulation pump.

Filter and non return valve is cleaned of any blockages and if the fault persists have it service..

hope this help.

f-05 usually relates to either the pump being blocked or the sump of this particular model being full of coins, color catchers etc.

first keep it simple, ensure outlet hose is not blocked or kinked....but if not follow these steps

• To sort this isolate from mains
• take off back inspection panel.
• tilt machine forward- get sum1 to hold it for u.
• The sump is the black hose attached to drum.
• place a basin under this and loosen jublie clamp using star head screw driver/ 8mm socket,
• pull sump downwards and remove any blockage.
• note the plastic ball is part of the sump assembley.
• refitt the sump again and tighten clamp, pull down firmly on sump to ensure fitted correctly

if there was nothing in the sump it is sumthing jamming the pump, hairgrip, nail, etc.

tilt machine forward as above with a basin ensuring isolated from mains power

• pump is attached to other end of sump hose, right side of machine as you look in the back.
• using flat screwdriver lift plastic tag up and slide pump assembley to the left releasing it from base of machine
• clip of plastic cover from top of pump
• remove wires from pump
• u should now be able to turn pump around so u can see 3 hex head screws
• remove screws taking note of the position of pump
• remove pump and clear blockage
• reverse steps to reassemble

if this does not sort it poss a new pump needed

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

NO!
I suspect they are not meant to be re-used, just replaced, sorry ;-0(

This machine calls this error number for most faults.
So first let us know what stage it stops at.
The most common fault is blockage in the pump.
Remove the power plug, disconnect the 2 water hoses and tilt the machine onto its front.
It is simple to remove and replace. Disconnect the 2 sockets from the pump The pump is held in position by a latch on the left hand side. Depress the latch and twist the pump anti clockwise. Clean out , add a smear of vaseline to the rubber ring.
Reassemble in reverse

check water pump for blockage or fault

Error code F04 indicates pressure switch jammed on empty.
Remove the lower rear panel of washer.
Remove the large black hose fastened to bottom of drum.
Remove and clean the plastic filter inside hose.
Remove the hose onto the pump, and check for blockage or obstruction here.
This should clear the fault
please leave feedback for my solution.
Thanks.

the ball is not bad, the arm needs replacing the socket's on the arm, it's loose

No repair, just replace it (Fairly cheap, dealership part only)

When you put the new arm on fill the new plastic ssocket (Both ends) with silicone grease (White or clear) do NOT use petroleum grease

You've answered your own question. E20 is a draining failure. Blockage in the sump hose, pump, drain hose or faulty pump. Clear the blockage or replace the pump if faulty and you'll clear the fault.

This might be Lid cover open protection. There is a small magnet at the edge of the lid cover, housed in some sort of a catch.
If the plastic housing cracked, the magnet might have dropped into the washing drum. To overcome this, place a magnet on the position where the plastic catch will contact the washer when the lid is close.
