Gorenje Washing Machine Fault Codes
These fault codes are written for washing machine repairers and not for the general public by Gorenje and UK Whitegoods and they assume a certain level of competence on the part of the user in diagnostic routines. We have added some notes to try to assist you in determining the nature of the fault you have but, you will still need to investigate each failure on its own merits. For more help and advice on fault finding on a washing machine please refer to our basic fault finding guide from this link before you begin.
If you struggle or cannot find the appropriate fault code that you need for your Gorenje machine please ask in the forums and the gusy there will do what they can to help and locate the meaning of the fault code you need
Gorenje Washing Machine Spare Parts
We have purposely not listed any Gorenje washing machine spares in this article as these codes cover a number of different models and ranges although we can supply most Gorenje spare parts with ease.
F1 |
Washing machine temperature sensor faultThe washing machine has detected a problem with the water heating temperature sensor and although the program will complete the machine will not heat the water.
|
F2 |
Door lock fault detectedThe door lock on the washing machine has been detected as faulty or failed to engage correctly.
|
F3 |
Washing machine water intake has failed to reach levelThe water level was not detected as reaching the correct level by the pressure sensor.
|
F4 |
Inverter cannot control the motorThe inverter card, motor speed and voltage electronic control module cannot control the motor speed. Please note that this code would only be displayed on models that have an brushless motor fitted.
|
F5 |
Washing machine control card and inverter card cannot communicateThe main control module cannot communicate with the motor speed control board or inverter card. Ordinarily when this error is reported the fault will lie in the wiring or with the inverter card and not the control module, which is reporting the error correctly.

F6 |
Washing machine water heating element detected faultyA fault has been detected in the water heating circuit which would ordinarily mean that the wash heater is open circuit.
|
F7 |

|
F8 |

F9 |

More Gorenje Washing Machine Help, Advice And Guidance
Should you need more help and guidance please use the links from this article as most of them will help you to understand your Gorenje washing machine a lot better and probably very much help you in diagnosing the fault you have. Of course there are many other articles on the site that will also help you do this.
In addition you can post in our help and advice forums after registering but please do pay heed to the information below before doing so and read the guides, they are there to help you.
You must understand certain things before you begin or attempt any repairs on your own and we want to make these points very, very clear to anyone that decides to investigate one of these or any other washing machines:
- We are not responsible for your safety, you are and by using this guide you accept that and accept that any damage that you may cause and work undertaken is entirely at your own risk.
- We will advise the common causes of the fault codes but we cannot guarantee that any parts or work recommended will resolve the issue. It is entirely your responsibility to diagnose your particular problem and resolve it.
- We are not responsible for you buying spares that do not resolve the problem, this is down to your own diagnosis not ours.
- No warranty is inferred, implied or given.
Be aware that fault or error codes are not a “magic bullet”, they will not tell you what the problem is, they will only offer you an indication of where the problem lies and they are no substitute for good old fashioned diagnostic skills. You can find out more about what washing machine fault codes actually tell you in this article. So please be well aware that, even with this new found knowledge you will still have to actually be capable of investigating and diagnosing the problem and this means adhering to basic appliance safety for working on them.
Please also note that manufacturers can and do change fault codes without notice and we cannot guarantee that these error codes will apply to your particular model as all codes apply to a wide range of appliances and not normally any one specific model. To determine if these fault codes do apply to your particular Gorenje washing machine model please post a request to confirm this in the washing machine forum

Just found a problem with ERROR 4 on GORENJE washer. Done a self test on washer by pressing both START and EASY IRON together then turn dial knob 1 click to left. this started self test. after a short series of tests it came up with WATER ERROR. on deduction I found that the water intake valve was not opening properly to allow full water pressure to the machine. I changed the vale and hey presto NO MORE ERROR 4

Gorenje WA60149 Washing machine will not complete spin section of cycle or individual spin cycle. Timer counts down to about 8 minutes then resets to full spin cycle time of 14 minutes. I have no fault codes displayed. I have however found that by selecting a reduced 1200 spin speed the cycle will complete satifactorily. Please comment on where the fault might be….Thanking you in advance for any information given.
Code f02 comes up near the end of the cycle and it stalls. Read this code on another machine meant blocked motor? Is this the same?
