candy grand evo 1682d error e16. seems to come up within last…

Hi

Ok E16 as you have proberly worked out is a heating error code.

The usually things to fail on this and cause the error code is the heater, wiring or the control board.

The heater is usually about 30 Ohms so the 41 Ohms you have is about right.

So check the wiring on the heater. Give the wires a tug and see if any are broken. As the wires can break in the plastic holder.

If the wires are fine then remove the control board on top and remove it from the plastic casing and check to see if theres a dry joint on the board. As sometimes the heater relay on there can create a dry joint so a drop of solder cures it.

If the board looks ok and the wiring is fine as well then im afraid its looking like a faulty control board here.

Let me know what you find or if you need anymore info just get back to me.

Hi

Ok that's normal as all washers leave water in the pump and sump hose.

So as its draining out ok and coming up E03 then its possibley the pressure switch not picking up the water has drained out.

But the same pressure switch has to be activated for the heater to come on as well. So it possibley the pressure switch or the control board at fault. So the faults may be linked here.

If this was a job I was going to I would first check the board for any burn marks.

But I would order both the pressure switch and control board and replace them both. But this can be quite expensive as the boards are about the £100.

Hi

The pressure switch is located at the top. Its a round switch with a few wires on it and a thin hose going to the bottom.

Its usually on the right hand side when you take the top off.

So yes check the board first and just see if theres any blow marks on there.

If ok you can try the pressure switch first as this is the cheaper part on there.
