Hi,

I have E43 error code showing on my machine. Looking on line it looks likely to be the brushes. How do I tell if its the brushes or the bearings or something else (preferably without dismantling as I don’t have a clue what I’m doing!)?

I gather the bearings aren’t actually economically changeable. Is that correct?

If its a reasonable fix Id like to try.

Thank you!!

wont be bearings unless the drum has jammed

does the machine come up with the error code as soon as turned on ?

Hi Dave,
Thank you for the response.
The drum is not jammed ( i.e. I can manually move it freely) and yes as soon as I switch the machine to any setting the error message comes up.

Sorry just re read my response.. So yes the error message comes up straight away. J

E43 is a motor 3d 3g sensor blocked drum caused by laundry, motor is blocked this is what the error means

how old is the machine

if you dont know post the FD number

Dave

[Jenny Vel]

Thank you. The FD is 2910001488.

[electrofix]

that makes no sense, are you sure of that number

from that it was made either 1949 or 2049 both of which cant be true

was trying to figure how old it was to get an idea of work its done. if its 5 to 7 years or so with above average wear then it could indeed be brushes
but someone would have to strip the machine to conform or dent this

if you dont have a clue then you need professional help

Sorry Dave, I mixed up a number its 9210001488. Dads got an engineering back ground so Im hoping if I establish what it is and get the parts he can sort it.
Thank you.

thats 2012 october
thats more like it

at that age its likely the brushes have failed. you would have to remove them to check. be careful you note which way up they are as the end of the brush is angled to contact the armature

after the brush is fitted the machine will possibly need to be reset.

will help with that when you know where your going

cant promise this fault is correct but its highly likely

Thank you so much. I have had some brushes delivered so we will see how we go 🙂 fingers crossed J

[Jenny Vel]

Ok they are in 🙂 Machine is all back together. How do we do the reset? Thank you!!

[Jenny Vel]

Dont worry we have managed to do it. Thank you all so much!! Have a good weekend. J
