Hisense is one of the most globally respected appliance brands, with its operations spanning 54 countries. Famed for their reliability and cutting-edge features, Hisense washing machines have proved to be extremely popular in recent years. However, as with any appliance that undergoes such repeated use, your Hisense washing machine may experience issues over time.

If your washing machine isn’t functioning as it should be, an error code may appear on the display panel. These can range from minor glitches that you could fix yourself to a complete breakdown that requires professional attention. Although this may look like gibberish to those not in the know, each error code corresponds to a specific issue; this simplifies the repair process and helps you determine just what work needs to be done.

Deciphering error codes can be tricky, which is why we’ve compiled this list of some of the common ones you may see on a Hisense washing machine.*

Are Hisense washing machines reliable?

Yes, Hisense washing machines are considered to be highly reliable.

Common Hisense Washing Machine Error Codes

Error Code Fault Description
F01 Water inflow fault: To put it simply, your washing machine isn’t being supplied with enough water to run correctly. Be sure to check your home has sufficient water pressure for proper flow and then examine the inlet pipe for any kinks or blockages.
F02/F24 Overflow: The opposite problem – your washing machine has too much water and you must ensure that the drainage hose isn’t blocked.
F03 Drainage fault: Your washing machine isn’t emptying properly. Firstly, check the drain filter for any debris that might be preventing water flow. Then, examine the drainage hose for any blockages or kinks.
F04 Heating error: Your washing machine isn’t heating water to the required temperature – you should inspect the heating element and thermostat for any signs of damage.
F05 NTC error: This error code indicates that there is an issue with the NTC sensor that measures the temperature of the water. Check the wiring between the NTC sensor and the main board to see if there are any loose connections.
F06/F07 Motor error: These error codes indicate an issue with either the motor tachometer or the motor TRIAC respectively. You should measure the resistance of the tachometer and ensure it is within an acceptable range, before verifying that there are no loose wires or visible damage. In some cases, this may require the main board to be replaced.
F13/F14 Faulty door lock: These error codes indicate that the washing machine door cannot be locked/unlocked. Check around the door for any obstructions that may be preventing proper function and then try restarting the machine.
F15 Outlet dry air temperature sensor error: This means that the temperature recorded by the NTC sensor during the drying cycle is outside of the acceptable range. You should check for any signs of damage or loose wiring before calling a professional for help.
F17 Drying overheating error: Your washing machine has become dangerously overheated during the drying cycle, so it’s essential to allow the machine time to cool down before attempting to restart. Be sure to check the lint trap for blockages and ensure the chosen drying cycle is suitable for the load size. If this proves ineffective, there may be an issue with your NTC sensor.
F18 Drying fan error: During the drying cycle, the fan has failed to function as it should. Inspect the fan blades for any signs of damage or obstructions that may impact rotation.
F22 Motor communication fault: This error code means that the washing machine components, such as the main board and inverter board, are not communicating properly with the motor. If you find no visible signs of damage or loose wiring, this may require replacement.
UNB Unbalance error: There is too little laundry in the drum, resulting in your load being unbalanced. You should add some clothes to the load and ensure they are evenly distributed. You should also make sure the washing machine is properly positioned on a level surface.
