Bompani Washing Machine Error Codes & Solutions
Is your Bompani washing machine flashing a mysterious code or beeping unexpectedly? Don’t panic—your appliance is trying to communicate with you. Modern Bompani washing machines are equipped with intelligent self-diagnostic systems that display error codes to indicate specific issues. Understanding these codes can save you time, money, and the hassle of a stalled laundry day.
This comprehensive guide decodes the most common Bompani washing machine error codes and provides clear, actionable solutions you can try before calling for service.
Common Bompani Washing Machine Error Codes & Fixes
1. Codes Related to Water Supply (E01, E10, E20)
Code Meaning: Water inlet problem. The machine is not filling with water, or it’s filling too slowly.
Possible Causes & Solutions:
Check Water Taps: Ensure both hot and cold water taps behind the machine are fully turned on.
Inspect Inlet Hoses: Look for kinks, bends, or blockages in the hoses. Unscrew and clean the inlet filters at the machine connection point.
Low Water Pressure: This is common in high-rise buildings. Try running another tap to check pressure. You may need to schedule laundry during off-peak hours or consult a plumber.
2. Codes Related to Drainage (E02, E21, E22)
Code Meaning: Drainage error or pump issue. The machine cannot pump out the used water.
Possible Causes & Solutions:
Check the Drain Hose: Ensure the drain hose is not bent, clogged, or inserted too far into the standpipe (which can cause a siphoning effect). The ideal height is between 60-100 cm from the floor.
Clean the Pump Filter: Locate the small access panel at the front bottom corner of your machine. Place a towel underneath, open the cap slowly to let residual water out, and check for trapped objects (coins, hair, buttons).
Drain Blockage: A blockage might be further in the household plumbing.
3. Codes Related to Imbalance/Door (E03, UE, IE)
Code Meaning: Unbalanced load (UE) or Door Lock Error (E03, IE).
Possible Causes & Solutions:
For UE/Imbalance: Stop and restart the cycle. Redistribute the laundry items evenly inside the drum. Avoid washing a single heavy item (like a rug) alone.
For Door Lock Errors: Ensure the door is firmly and correctly closed. Remove any small items (like a sock) stuck in the door seal. If the code persists, the door lock mechanism itself may be faulty and require professional replacement.
4. Codes Related to Motor/Heating (E04, E05, E12)
Code Meaning: Motor triac error, tacho error (E04, E05) or Heater/thermostat issue (E12).
Possible Causes & Solutions:
These are typically complex electrical or component failures.
Basic Check: Turn off the machine at the wall socket for 5-10 minutes, then restart. This can sometimes reset the electronic control.
Professional Help Needed: If the code returns, it likely indicates a faulty motor, damaged wiring, a failed heating element, or a problematic temperature sensor. This requires a qualified technician with the right tools for diagnosis and repair.
5. Code: Foam Detection / Over-Sudsing (SUDS)
Code Meaning: Excess detergent has created too many suds, interfering with the cycle.
Possible Causes & Solutions:
Use high-efficiency (HE) detergent and always measure it according to instructions. Using too much detergent or the wrong type is a common cause.
Solution: Pause the cycle and let the suds settle for an hour. Then, select a Rinse & Spin cycle to drain the excess suds. Wipe the door seal to remove residue.
The Universal First Steps When Any Error Code Appears
Before diving deep, always try these simple resets:
Pause & Restart: Press pause/stop, wait a minute, and restart the same cycle.
Power Reset: Unplug the machine from the wall socket or turn off its circuit breaker for 5-10 minutes. This clears the motherboard’s memory and can resolve temporary electronic glitches.
Check the Basics: Ensure the machine is plugged in, the door is shut, and there are no obvious obstructions.
