For Candy warnings, confirm the model and the full code. E02 points to water inlet and E03 to drainage in the official washing machine documentation.
Choose inlet or outlet
The official Candy washing machine FAQ distinguishes E02 for inlet and E03 for drain. If the appliance does not fill, check the supply; if water remains after washing, follow the drain path. Neither one by itself confirms which part needs to be replaced.
Keep zeros and sequences
Copy the code exactly as it appears. If there is no display, record which lights flash and their pauses; interpret them only with the control panel diagram in the manual. A single flash or all lights on do not let you assign an error universally.
Short messages and active functions
The letter H may indicate delayed start on compatible units. Check the setting and the cancel method in the manual before looking for a fault. If the code is not listed here, consult the model documentation; its absence from this index does not prove it does not exist.
Do not transfer Hoover codes or Candy dryer codes to a washing machine circuit. For support, keep the nameplate identification, the cycle stage, and whether water enters, remains trapped, or a leak appears.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find my Candy washing machine manual?
Copy the full model from the rating plate and use that reference to search for Candy manuals. Confirm that the appliance type and panel match before following a code table.
Do E02 and E03 mean the same problem?
No. In the washing machine documentation consulted, E02 belongs to the water inlet system and E03 to the drain circuit. They may require checking different parts of the installation.
Can the meaning vary by model?
Yes. The manual for the specific platform determines the meaning and the controls. A code from a dryer or dishwasher should also not be carried over to a Candy washing machine.
What should I record before restarting the washing machine?
Save the full code, model, program stage, and water status. Note any recent connection or maintenance changes and whether the warning repeats without running new test cycles.
Use the checks accessible in the manual and stop if it requires opening panels or handling circuits.
