Balay Washer Error e05

What is the e05 error fault affecting your Balay washing machine?

Does your Balay washing machine display the error code E5 or E05 and you don't know what it means or how to solve it? Don't worry, in this article we will explain everything you need to know about this type of error and how you can fix it yourself without having to call a technician.

The error code E5 or E05 on a Balay washing machine indicates that there is a problem with the water supply, that is, not enough water is entering the washing machine or there is some obstacle that prevents its proper flow. This can affect the normal operation of the washing machine and cause it to not wash clothes properly or stop the wash cycle.

The possible causes that can cause this error code on your precious washing machine can be the following:

• Low water pressure reaching the washing machine: This may be due to a failure in the supply network or a closed or defective tap.
• Water inlet hose in poor condition, bent or obstructed: This can prevent water from properly reaching the solenoid valve that regulates its entry into the washing machine.
• Dirty or clogged solenoid valve filter: This can reduce the flow of water entering the washing machine or prevent the valve from opening and closing properly.
• Damaged pressure switch or with a blocked tube: The pressure switch is the device that measures the water level in the washing machine and sends the signal to the programmer to start or stop filling. If it is damaged or the tube is blocked, it can send an erroneous signal and make the washing machine think it is full of water when it is not.
• Drain pipe poorly installed or blocked: If the drain pipe is too high or has some obstruction, it can cause a siphon effect and make the water leave the washing machine prematurely.

How to fix the e05 error on Balay washing machine?

We have prepared for you the possible solutions that you can apply to try to solve the error code E05 or E5 by yourself:

1. Restart the washing machine: Sometimes, a simple restart can solve the problem and make the washing machine work properly again. To do this, turn off the washing machine, unplug it from the power source, and wait a few minutes before plugging it back in and turning it on.
2. Check the water pressure that reaches the washing machine: Open the tap to the maximum and see if the water comes out forcefully and without any interruption. If not, check if there is any problem with the water supply network or if the tap is closed or damaged.
3. Check the water inlet hose: Check if the hose is in good condition, without bends or cracks, and if it is well connected to the tap and the washing machine. If necessary, replace the hose with a new one.
4. Clean the solenoid valve filter: Locate the solenoid valve at the back of the washing machine, where the water inlet hose connects. Disconnect the hose and carefully remove the filter. Clean it with a soft brush and water to remove any dirt or residue that may clog it. Replace it and connect the hose again.
5. Check the solenoid valve: To know if the solenoid valve works properly, you can measure its resistance with a multimeter. If it's out of the normal range (between 3 and 4 kΩ), it means it's faulty and you need to replace it with a new one.
6. Check the pressure switch and the tube: Locate the pressure switch at the top of the washing machine, near the drum. It's a round piece with several wires and a thin tube connected. Disconnect the tube and blow through it to see if it's blocked. If no air comes out, clean the tube with a thin wire or replace it with a new one. You can also measure the resistance of the pressure switch with a multimeter to see if it's faulty. If it's out of the normal range (between 0 and 50 Ω), you need to replace it with a new one.
7. Check the drain pipe: Check if the drain pipe is well installed, without bends or obstructions, and if it is at the right height (between 60 and 100 cm). If necessary, adjust the pipe or clean it with a thin wire or a hanger to remove any blockage.
8. Repeat all the previous steps if the problem persists: If after performing all the previous checks and solutions the E5 or E05 error still appears on your Balay washing machine, there may be some other serious fault that requires professional intervention.
9. Go to the Balay technical service to solve the problem: If you are unable to solve the error yourself or if you prefer to leave it in the hands of experts, you can contact the official Balay technical service to check your washing machine and give you an appropriate solution.

In summary, to solve the E5 or E05 error code on your Balay washing machine, you should do the following:

• Restart the washing machine.
• Check the water pressure.
• Check the inlet hose.
• Clean the solenoid valve filter.
• Check the solenoid valve.
• Check the pressure switch and the tube.
• Check the drain tube.
• Repeat the previous steps.
• Go to the technical service.
