CodeMeaningSeverityFirst action
HHeater timeoutOften fixable at homeThe water did not reach washing temperature within the expected time — heater, thermostat or heavy cold load.
H1Heater / NTC faultOften fixable at homeThe temperature sensor (NTC) is out of range, so heating is blocked or misread.
E1Water inlet faultOften fixable at homeWater is not entering the machine within the expected time.
E2Drain faultOften fixable at homeThe machine could not drain within the expected time, so water is left in the drum.
E3Too much waterOften fixable at homeThe machine overfilled — the water level switch or inlet valve stayed open.

Safety first

Unplug before any check. Never open panels beyond the filter flap. Anything involving internal wiring, the heater or gas must go to a professional — see each code page for its "call a professional when" line.
