Modern refrigerators are equipped not only with electronic control, but also with a self-diagnosis system. If one of the parts breaks down, a fault code is displayed. Errors of the Indesit refrigerator and their meaning are indicated in the instruction manual, as well as in our article. Having decrypted the symbols on the screen, you can quickly find the cause of the breakdown.
Error codes of the Indesit refrigerator
First of all, experts advise restarting the equipment in order to eliminate a system failure. For this:
- unplug the unit;
- wait 10-15 minutes;
- plug in the fridge.
If the icons no longer appear on the display, then it was a failure. If they showed up again, then look for the answers in our table.
Malfunction code | Reason for occurrence | How to fix the problem |
F01 | Start-up relay does not work (stuck). | Inspect:
In the event of a malfunction, a replacement motor or electronic board is needed. |
F02 | Start-up relay contacts are broken. No connection. | What you need to check:
Install a new motor or control board. |
F03, F14 | The control panel board does not work. | Repair or change of part. |
F04 | The fan has stopped working in the freezer compartment. | Your actions:
|
F05 | Problems with the control panel. The shutter does not work. | Tighten wiring to J3 connector on module. Check the tightness of the Multiflow damper. |
F06 | Defrost heater does not work. The thyristor closed. | Diagnose J6 with a multimeter. You need to make sure that the heater is connected correctly. If defective, replace. |
F07 | The defrost heater does not consume current. | Check J6. Heater and tray connection diagnostics in the distribution box. Measuring the resistance of a defrost heating element. |
F08 | The solenoid valve is not connected correctly. | Inspection J8, multimeter measurement of pins 1 and 2. Make sure that the valve is connected correctly and that it is turned off while the compressor is running. |
F09 | An error has occurred in the program. | Change the EEPROM board, check the installation. |
F10 | For Nou Frost appliances: damper problems. For CCZ units: solenoid valve malfunction. | In the first case, you need to inspect compounds J7. Tighten the flapper wires. Replace the inoperative item. In the second case, the J5 connectors are checked. The valve should shut off the temperature compartment when the compressor is triggered. |
F11 | On NF models, a fan thyristor was shorted in the refrigerator compartment. | Same steps as with error F04. Diagnose connector J6 on the main module, measure pins 1 and 2, calculate values in ohms. Inspect how the fan wiring is connected. Install a new fan. |
F12 | The display is not connected to the control module. | LED control:
For the Ever Fresh system: diagnostics of J13 and 4th contact. For touchpad:
|
F13 | In NF refrigerators, the fan does not work. | Similar to faults F04 and F11. |
F15 | In the Multiflow system, the thyristor of the heater is closed. | Ping J2 and pins 3 and 1. Check heater for short circuit. After you need to replace the broken parts. |
F16 | Static-cooled refrigerators have fan problems. The Nou Frost system has problems with the operation of the Multiflow heater. | Checking connectors J2, 1 and 3. Make sure the heater is connected correctly, replace. |
F17 | For Ever Fresh: vacuum pump malfunction. Damage to the valve (AQUA CARE). | What to check: J2, 1 and 2 contact. Connect a new pump or circuit board. |
F18 | Out of service valve AQUA CARE 2. | Ringing of connector J2, pins 3 and 4, as well as the valve. |
F20 | There is no light in the compartment. | Bulb replacement. |
F21 | The NTC temperature sensor is not working. | Install a new module. |
F22 | The contacts of the NTC air sensor are broken. | Inspection J11, 3 and 4. |
F23 | Violation of the wiring of the evaporator sensor. | Same as for F22, only pins 1 and 2. |
F24 | Damaged NTC wiring in the freezer. | Check J11, 5 and 6. |
F25 | The NTC connection of the evaporator is damaged. | Diagnostics J11, 1 and 2. |
F26 | Broken air sensor wiring. | Diagnostics J11, J12, 3 and 4. |
F28 | The screen module is broken. |
Other failures are also associated with the control panel. The buttons do not respond to clicks.
