hi i have a samsung p1253 washing m/c, that is beeping and stopping running with a fault code of 6e, i have been told the fault is a water heater problem, which doesnt make sense to me as whichever program u r on when the fault code comes on, the m/c is draining or appears 2b trying to drain at that time, which obviously shouldnt be happening if the m/c is trying to heat at that time, (ie. the m/c needs to be full of water to heat in the 1st place)could you please try to shed light on my problem
Re: faulty washing m/c
6e is a heater fault code so it seems a good idea to check the heater before concluding its nonsense??
Re: faulty washing m/c
Here’s an article all about this stuff.
Basically, what it says in essence is that fault codes are handy (sometimes) as a diagnostic aid but, they are most certainly NOT a replacement for diagnostic skills. They are not a magic bullet, don’t guarantee that you get the correct component or tell you that if you change out a widget it’ll just work again.
You still have to be prepared to do some legwork yourself in short and be able to test components with a multimeter in order to diagnose the problem. 😉
And, like a PC going though POST, if it finds an error on startup then many machines will simply abort, give you an error code and sit there looking stupid.
HTH
