Smeg Washer Error Codes

Smeg washers are efficient and reliable, but they are prone to breaking, too. If your Smeg washer doesn’t work for some reason, you can perform the troubleshooting process on your own. There’s no need to pay for expensive repair made by third-party companies or wait for ages when the device is repaired under the official warranty.

Below, you can see the repair and maintenance manuals for different models of Smeg washing machines. They are made in the form of tables for your convenience. You will see the list of common technical issues, possible causes, and ways to solve the problem.

Cannot define what’s wrong? In most cases, the washer will display the error code on the monitor – it corresponds to some certain technical malfunction. Using the tables here you can quickly define the fault and find ways to eliminate it. These instructions are taken from official sources, they are correct and reliable. Even an average user without technical skills can follow the guidelines and perform a minor repair.

Please, note that if you cannot implement some of the steps from instructions and perform the repair on your own, you should contact a professional repair service center. Some serious malfunctions and software faults can be eliminated by professionals only.
