Error F18 in Balay washing machine

What does the F18 error mean?

Error: F18

Description: Water drainage problem.

Causes of the F18 error

• Drain pump jammed or restricted.
• Obstruction or folding in the drain hose.
• Excess foam causing drainage issues.
• Electrical issues such as wiring faults or problems in the electronic module.

How to eliminate the F18 error

The Balay washing machine uses a drain pump to evacuate water from the tank through a hose. If the hose is folded or obstructed, water cannot flow properly and will accumulate inside the drum.

1. Check the drain pump filter for debris or blockages.
2. Inspect the drain pump for any locking or restrictions that may prevent it from working correctly.
3. Verify the drain hose to ensure it is not folded, kinked, or obstructed.
4. Check the drain pump wiring and connections for any damage or loose contacts.
5. If the pump appears faulty, measure the voltage with a voltmeter:

• If there is no voltage, the problem may be with the electronic module or wiring.
• If voltage is present but the pump does not operate, the pump itself will likely need to be replaced.
