Candy [E5] fault codewhat it means and how to fix it

Candy document E5, E6, E7, Ef and EL as a single entry with one meaning: electronic control fault, contact the technical assistance centre. Five codes, one answer, and no owner steps offered. It is worth being straight about what that does and does not tell you. It narrows the fault to the control electronics, which rules out the mechanical causes — this is not your filter, your hose or your tap. But it does not distinguish between the five, and Candy do not publish what separates them, so anyone who tells you that E6 specifically means one component and E7 another is going beyond what the manufacturer has said. This grouping comes from the older generation of Candy manuals, the CDP and CDIM era. The current generation uses a different and shorter list, which is a useful clue about your machine’s age: if yours displays one of these five, you are looking at an older appliance, and that is worth factoring into any decision about repairing it. Control boards are among the most expensive parts in a dishwasher, and on a machine of that vintage the quote will often approach what a new one costs.
