Washer shows E18 and may not start or may stop mid-cycle.

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

Unstable mains voltage, Loose power cord connection, Faulty interference filter, Defective main PCB power supply section

Safety: Turn off and unplug the washer.

Check supply: Plug another appliance into the same socket to confirm stable power. Avoid using extension leads.
Inspect power cord: Check for cuts, burns, or loose plug pins. Replace if damaged.
Check interference filter: With the top or rear panel removed, locate the mains filter where the cord enters. Ensure connections are tight and there is no burning.

If E18 recurs with a good supply, the internal power supply on the PCB may be faulty and should be replaced by a technician.
