Panasonic washing machine error codes

Panasonic washing machine error codes Washing machines from Panasonic occupy their own segment of the Russian market, although they are not very common in this country. Despite the high level of quality, Panasonic machines may produce errors indicating malfunctions or improper operation. It will be useful for owners of this equipment to familiarize themselves with a short list of these codes in order to have an idea of how they can fix the breakdown themselves or what to do to normalize the situation.

Brief description of ciphers

Panasonic washing machine error codes usually consist of an English letter and a numeric value, for example: “U12” or “H09”. Let's look at the error codes starting with “U” (only the digital values of each cipher are shown below):

18 – error coming from the sensors when they cannot transmit a signal (you can’t fix it yourself, you should call a technician);
14 – indicates an error “inappropriate voltage in the electrical network”, which must be eliminated by a specialist;
04, 12 or 13 is a program error, that is, a program failure, which can be eliminated by replacing or repairing the control module;
11 – indicates the impossibility of completing the washing process, which may occur due to incorrect connection or the presence of a critical blockage in the drain pipe or pump; The problem is eliminated by clearing clogged pipes or changing the heating element.

Panasonic machine errors with the first letter “H”:

01, 05 or 09 - these codes mean that the control board has failed and needs to be replaced;
07 or 017 - if the error “U07” or “U017” is displayed, this indicates a malfunction, incorrect operation of one or more sensors that need to be replaced;
21 – the processor incorrectly launches various washing modes (corrected by “reflashing”);
29 or 41 - this means that the sensors and/or control board are faulty, the contacts may have burned out;
27 or 53 - with these digital combinations, the machine informs the user that the wash does not start because the door is not closed tightly, the access to water is blocked, or there is a blockage in the drain system (carefully inspect the drain and water supply hoses, try pressing the machine hatch door harder, or diagnose engine operation);
43, 46, 51 or 55 - indicates problems with the tachometer, motor, board and connection of these structural elements; the error is eliminated by checking and repairing all of the indicated connections and parts;
52 - indicates a failure or malfunction of the controller that needs replacement or repair.

Features of the self-diagnosis system

By comparing the alphanumeric code that appears on the screen with the list, you can learn more about the problem (breakdown), and in some cases, even fix it yourself. However, sometimes such messages may indicate a temporary glitch that may correct itself later. To make sure there is a real problem, reboot the machine by unplugging it for ten minutes.

Important! The presence of an error signal on the washing machine screen does not necessarily mean that there is a problem.

Once you are convinced that the fault code does not disappear even after rebooting the Panasonic machine control system, you should try to solve the issue yourself (if possible), after checking the code with the above list. Otherwise, call a competent specialist for a more in-depth diagnosis and/or replacement/repair of parts.
