Error Code E60

What Does Error Code E60 Mean in Your Washing Machine?

Does your Midea, LiddleSwan, or Zanussi washing machine display error code E60? This usually indicates a problem with the heating system or motor control. This could mean your washing machine isn’t heating water properly or the motor isn’t functioning correctly.

Possible Causes:

• Defective heating element: The heating element may be burnt out or damaged.
• Defective temperature sensor (NTC): The sensor might be sending incorrect temperature readings to the electronics.
• Problems with the electronics: There could be a fault in the relay, control panel, or other electronic components.
• Malfunction in the motor or motor control: The motor may not be starting or might be making strange noises.

What You Can Do:

1. Unplug the machine: Turn off the washing machine and unplug it to prevent electric shock.
2. Visual inspection: Check the washing machine for visible damage or loose connections at the heating element and the motor.
3. Check the heating element: Measure the resistance of the heating element using a multimeter. Infinite or very high resistance indicates a defective element. Replace the element with a compatible spare part if necessary.
4. Test the temperature sensor (NTC): Check the sensor’s resistance at room temperature. An abnormal reading may indicate a faulty sensor. Replace the sensor if it falls outside the specifications.
5. Check electronic components: Inspect the control panel for visible damage, such as burnt components or loose solder joints. Replace or repair faulty components.
6. Check the motor and motor control: Inspect the motor for blockages or mechanical damage. Test the motor control for correct operation and replace any defective parts.
7. Reset the machine: Plug the washing machine back in. Perform a reset as described in the manual to clear the error code.
