Baumatic MEGA 10kg Washer Dryer - what does this mean!?

coinxoperated

Hi all!

I've recently purchased a 2nd hand Baumatic 10kg Washer Dryer.

Did one wash and dry absolutely fine. Have tried to do another a few days later and it stops drying, beeps at me and the words 'PFE' come up on the display screen.

I've been all through the manual I can find online but can't find anything about the PFE sign anywhere!

It also displayed a sign which meant it wasn't draining properly. We checked everything and made sure the drainage pipe was straight.

Any ideas? I don't fancy paying someone to just come and look at it if its something simple!

Thanks

Found this via google, may not apply to your model but presume Baumatic use standard fault codes.

If PFE is displayed on the LED display, you should turn the
appliance off using the POWER button, switch it back on again
using the POWER button, press the SPIN button and then press
the START/PAUSE button.

It also states

Is the filter of the drain pump clogged
Is the drain pump operating
Did you use the proper amount of detergent
Is the drain hose placed higher than 1 metre above the floor

So it looks as if draining the water could be the problem

Thanks! Didn't think to look at other models instruction manuals! Looks like ill be doing some clearing out this evening then!

Any pointers for making sure it can drain properly?

Check and clean out the filter - usually found at the bottom front of washing machines.
