A free, independent UK guide to appliance error codes and the DIY-safe fixes that go with them.

Every code page follows the same shape: what the code means, the checks you can safely do yourself in order of likelihood, when to stop and call a professional, and the parts usually involved. Every code meaning links to the manufacturer's own documentation in the page's sources section.

We are not affiliated with Bosch, Hotpoint, Beko or any manufacturer. Code meanings are checked against manufacturer documentation; always confirm against the manual for your exact model, as meanings can vary between model lines.

Who writes and reviews: the Appliance Fault Codes editorial team. Each page carries a last-reviewed date and is re-checked quarterly.

Safety first: we never suggest DIY beyond unplug-and-external-access. Anything involving internal wiring, heaters, sealed panels or repeated RCD trips always goes to a professional.
