Error F15 on the Atlant washing machine

Error interpretation

Code F15 in Atlant washing machines with leak protection means that a leak has occurred and the Aquastop system has activated.

If the machine model is not equipped with protection against leaks, then the error indicates a malfunction of the water level sensor (pressostat).

Troubleshooting

Some faults can be dealt with on your own: both identified and eliminated. Others will require a specialist to diagnose and repair.

Diagnostics by error code

If the built-in electronic control units receive erroneous information, they will indicate a problem and display an error code on the display. The Atlant refrigerator indicates errors with the following combinations of symbols:

Fault code F1 indicates a breakdown of the refrigerator compartment temperature sensor (R1).
F2 indicates a fault in the refrigerator compartment evaporator sensor (R2). If your model is equipped with the Full No Frost function, this signal refers to the freezer compartment.
F3: The freezer thermostat (R3) is not working properly. Full No Frost uses this code to indicate a problem with the freezer evaporator sensor or defrost circuit.
Error F4 indicates a decrease in voltage, less than 170 V. Most often, this problem occurs in the afternoon or evening, when electrical appliances are turned on for a large number of users.
Atlant refrigerator, error 5F - how to fix it yourself. Increased voltage, above 250-255 V, leads to the display of code F5 on the display. After the indicator is normalized, the designation will disappear. If the error appears too often, you should contact the service center. Below we will consider what such an indication may be associated with.
In double-compressor refrigerators, there are frequent cases of malfunctions F6 and F7 - in the operation of the motors of the refrigeration and freezer compartments, respectively.
A flashing “H” symbol (from the English “high” - high) displayed on the display indicates an increase in temperature in one (1 letter “H”) or both (2 letters “H”) compartments. The “L” symbol that appears (from the English “low” - low) warns of the opposite - freezing of food.
E1/E2: Code E1 indicates a malfunction in the evaporator heater in the freezer, and E2 indicates incorrect operation of the evaporator defrost system.

The code designations are specified in the operating instructions for the device.

Repair

In specialized service centers, technicians conduct diagnostics to decide how to eliminate the F5 error in the Atlant refrigerator. This is not always due to a faulty socket, plug or cord. The electronic control module often fails, requiring replacement of the board or its components.

It is unlikely that you will be able to figure out on your own how to resolve the E2 error in the Atlant refrigerator. This malfunction is associated with a malfunction in the auto-defrost system and a malfunction of the evaporator thermostat. You have to change the sensor, and in some cases the module itself.

How to eliminate error F7 in the Atlant refrigerator: if the problem is not a simple power surge or a “glitch” of the control controller, you will need repair or complete replacement of the board, compressor or its contacts.

Error F15 - when you can fix it yourself

Leak not related to the washing machine . Check whether the communications adjacent to the washing machine are leaking. Perhaps because of them, water got into the pan and Aquastop worked. If you find a leak, contact a plumber.
Powder for hand washing. Leads to excessive foaming. As a result, foam gets into the SMA Atlant pan, which leads to an error.
Poor quality detergents or incorrect dosage. Use detergents recommended by the manufacturer and follow their dosage.
Washing porous items. Tulle, lace curtains, woolen products, down jackets, due to their structure, “whip up” the foam very well. Therefore, when washing them, you should use less powder and conditioner.
Control module failure . To reset the error, disconnect the SMA from the power supply for 10-15 minutes. If it’s a one-time failure, then after switching on the board will “hang” and the code will disappear.

If these tips did not help fix error F15, then your Atlant machine has a breakdown, and you cannot do it without the help of a specialist.

Do you know that:

Fresh lemon is not only suitable for tea: clean dirt from the surface of an acrylic bath by rubbing with half a cut citrus, or quickly wash the microwave by placing a container of water and lemon slices in it for 8-10 minutes at maximum power. The softened dirt can simply be wiped off with a sponge.

If your favorite things show the first signs of gestation in the form of untidy pellets, you can get rid of them using a special machine - a shaver. It quickly and effectively shaves off clumps of fabric fibers and returns things to their proper appearance.

Threads made of gold and silver, which were used to embroider clothes in the old days, are called gimp. To obtain them, the metal wire was pulled for a long time with pliers to the required fineness. This is where the expression “to drag out the rigmarole” came from - “to do long, monotonous work” or “to delay the completion of a task.”

Before removing various stains from clothing, you need to find out how safe the selected solvent is for the fabric itself. It is applied in a small amount to an inconspicuous area of the item from the inside out for 5-10 minutes. If the material retains its structure and color, you can move on to stains.

The dishwasher cleans more than just plates and cups. You can load it with plastic toys, glass lamp shades and even dirty vegetables, such as potatoes, but only without using detergents.

Stretch ceilings made of PVC film can withstand from 70 to 120 liters of water per 1 m2 of their area (depending on the size of the ceiling, the degree of its tension and the quality of the film). So you don’t have to worry about leaks from neighbors above.

The habit of using an automatic washing machine “sparingly” can lead to the appearance of an unpleasant odor in it. Washing at temperatures below 60℃ and short rinses allow fungi and bacteria from dirty clothes to remain on internal surfaces and actively multiply.

The easiest way to remove scale and carbon deposits from the soleplate of the iron is with table salt. Pour a thick layer of salt onto the paper, heat the iron to maximum and run the iron over the salt bed several times, applying light pressure.

There are special traps to combat moths. The sticky layer with which they are covered contains female pheromones that attract males. By sticking to the trap, they are eliminated from the reproduction process, which leads to a decrease in the moth population.

Possible faults requiring repair

Only a specialist can determine the exact cause of error F15 based on diagnostic results. But in order for you to understand the nature of the breakdowns, as well as the cost of eliminating them, here is a table of the most common faults that cause the error to appear.

Signs	Breaking	Repair or replacement	Cost* (work only)
A leak occurred in the washing machine with Aquastop and code F 15 came on.	Water leak. The following leaks occur in the drain tract: drain pipe, filter, pump, drain hose. Leaks in the filling path are caused by: the filling hose, the detergent tray or the filling pipe. As a rule, the connections of these nodes leak. Sometimes the hatch cuff leaks due to damage.	The technician checks the water fill and drain paths, identifies and eliminates leaks.	from 1100 rub.
The machine displays error F15 immediately when turned on. There are no noticeable signs of leakage.	Pressostat (level sensor). It is “stuck” in the overflow position, so it transmits incorrect information to the control board. The cause of the breakdown may be the following: the pressure sampling chamber of the sensor is clogged; the pressure switch hose has fallen off, become clogged or damaged; The sensor itself has failed.	The specialist conducts diagnostics and: if dirty, remove and clean the pressure switch chamber; if there are problems with the hose, return it to its place, blow it out or replace it with a new one; if the sensor breaks down, replace the pressure switch with a new one.	from 1700 rub.
	Control block. Probably, the tracks in the Aquastop or pressure switch circuit are burnt out or the radio elements on the board are faulty (resistors, relays, capacitors, diodes, relays, etc.).	The technician diagnoses the control board and, based on its results, solders the burnt tracks and replaces the burnt radio elements. If extensive damage to the board is detected, it is replaced with a new one.	from 2100 rub.
	Aquastop . The sensor is “stuck” in the flooded position, which is why the error lights up.	The technician repairs the sensor or replaces it with a new one.	from 2100 rub.
	Damage to the wiring or contacts in the Aquastop or water level sensor circuit. The contacts usually burn out or rot, and the wiring is chafed by the vibrations of the washing machine. In private homes, wires are chewed by mice or rats.	The technician diagnoses the machine and: restores wiring or changes the entire cable with wires; solders the contacts or changes the entire contact group.	from 1600 rub.

Diagnostics and repair

Let's look at the operating principle of the valve. Usually it is in the closed position, but when voltage is applied to its coil, the valve opens and water is filled. Depending on the Atlant washing machine model, the element is installed on one, two or three coils.

In order to remove the F5 error in the Atlant SMA, as well as eliminate the breakdown, check the functionality of the valve. What does it mean:

Remove the top cover of the washer by unscrewing the two screws at the back.
The element is located on top, near the wall.
Open the water supply (don't forget to place a container).
Apply 220 volts to each coil.
The service valve will open.

This video will help you:

If you can’t open it, check the coil resistance. For this:

Connect the multimeter probes to the coil.
Measure resistance.
The working coil will show from 2 to 4 ohms.

You can remove the faulty coil and install a new one.

Plastic inserts

Another common problem is related to the plastic inserts that are located in the fittings to control the water pressure. If the insert malfunctions or falls out, the pressure will be too high. Error F5 will appear on the screen.

In this case, the valve must be completely replaced.

Self-replacement

Be consistent:

Turn off the water supply.
Use pliers to remove the clamps on the valve hoses.
Disconnect the hoses (bear in mind that there may be water in them).
Unscrew the fastening screws or unfasten the latches.
Install the new part in reverse order.

Now start the Atlant washing machine and check its performance. If everything is in order and the error does not appear again, then everything was done correctly.
