Washer-dryer shows F29, may not fill correctly, or may abort the cycle early.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Faulty flow meter in the inlet valve assembly, blocked inlet filter screens, low water pressure, or a wiring fault to the flow sensor.

Safety first: Turn off the water supply and unplug the appliance.

Check water supply and flow meter:

Inlet filters: Disconnect the inlet hose(s) from the rear of the machine. Remove and clean the small mesh filters in the valve inlets.
Water pressure: Ensure household water pressure is adequate (at least 1 bar). Low pressure can trigger F29.
Flow meter: Some Bauknecht valves incorporate a flow sensor. Inspect the wiring connector and reseat it.

Replace valve: If F29 persists and the supply is good, replace the inlet valve assembly with an integrated flow meter.
