Configuration (EEPROM) Error

What it means

This code appears on electronic Indesit washing machines when the main board cannot read the configuration data stored in its memory (EEPROM), or finds it does not match the model. The machine will not run reliably until this is fixed, and the same number can mean something else on other brands. Codes differ between some Indesit series, so check your manual to confirm.

Models covered: Indesit washing machines on the electronic EVO platform; the code shows on the display or as blinking lights. Older mechanical models do not show codes.

Symptoms4

• The code shows immediately at power-on, before any program starts.
• Lights blink randomly or buttons do not respond.
• The machine may start and then stop for no clear reason.
• The code appeared after a power cut or voltage fluctuation.

Possible causes5

• Memory data corrupted by a power cut or voltage fluctuation.
• A replacement board fitted without programming for this model.
• Failed memory chip or main board.
• Moisture on the main board.
• Loose connection between the display board and the main board.

How to diagnose5

1. Unplug the machine for several minutes and restart; a temporary error sometimes clears.
2. Make sure the socket is secure and the home voltage is stable.
3. If the board was replaced recently, tell the technician, as programming may be the cause.
4. The technician unplugs the machine before opening it, checks the board for moisture or corrosion and checks the display board connection.
5. An authorized service center reprograms the configuration with the dedicated tool where possible.

How to fix5

1. Restart the machine after unplugging and use a secure socket.
2. Fit a voltage protector if the supply fluctuates.
3. Dry the board and clean the connectors.
4. Reprogram the configuration at an authorized service center.
5. Replace the main board with one programmed for the model, then test several programs.

Repair cost

In Saudi riyals; the highlighted part is the expected range for this fault.

If a restart or reprogramming clears the code, the cost is low; a main board replacement sits at the top of the range.

Prices are rough estimates including the part and the technician’s fee, and vary with brand, model and part source.
