C2 Not pumping/too slow pump output
C3 Aqua control activated
C7 Not heating
C8 NTC fault
C9 Tacho or motor fault CA Motor Triac short circuit CD Door lock faulty
CE Water distributor fault, this machine has a small motor in the dispenser to select the Compartment to fill through, this, in turn, operates a microswitch inside the dispenser
CF EPROM fault Some of these faults are locked in and will return even if the machine is disconnected; the only way to clear them is to run the test program. Hold in Pre-wash and soak button while turning rotary knob to gentle spin.
