Looking for the source of the problem
Within the first few minutes of the cycle commencing, this error is displayed on the screen. Code E8 denotes issues with the intake of water. The washing is interrupted because the machine does not fill to the necessary level in the designated amount of time.
The washing machine will "freeze" if there is no water because it won’t start. It is advisable to first make sure the house’s central water supply is turned off. Next, check to see if the washing machine’s shut-off valve is closed. Verifying that the hatch door is securely shut is the third step. Filling the tank won’t be ordered by the electronic module if the system isn’t hermetically sealed.
The washing machine door won’t open if it’s not closed all the way.
The issue is more serious if there is water in the pipes, normal pressure, an open valve, and a blocked hatch door. The Haier washing machine will require an extended diagnostic to be started. Code of error E8 can be brought on by a damaged control module, a pinched inlet hose, or a clogged filter.
Checks are carried out in order of complexity. We’ll explain the issues that can lead to the E8 error.
- Pinching of the inlet hose. One of the possible reasons. Inspect the sleeve, it is probably bent, so the water does not enter the washing machine.
- Clogged coarse filter. It is installed in front of the inlet hose. If the element is heavily contaminated, water intake into the system becomes impossible. Cleaning the nozzle will help.
- Clogged filter mesh. The element is in front of the inlet valve. The metal grid is clogged with impurities contained in tap water, a coating forms on it. In this case, when filling with water, the washing machine buzzes loudly. Cleaning the inlet filtration system will help solve the problem.
- Inlet valve failure. It is responsible for filling the system with water. If you have previously noticed that during washing the detergent is not completely washed out of the powder receptacle, be sure to check the electromagnetic valve. How diagnostics are performed: 220 volts are supplied to the part. A serviceable device will close, which will be indicated by a characteristic click. The element cannot be repaired, it will need to be completely replaced.
- Pump failure. If the electronics detect a pump failure, it will not give the command to fill with water. This is logical, since it will not be possible to drain the used liquid from the washing machine.
- Failure of the water level sensor. When the pressure switch does not work correctly, the control module cannot understand how much water is in the tank. For example, it is full, and the sensor transmits a signal that the tank is empty. Then the display also displays error E8.
- Damage to the pressure switch hose. This element is subject to natural wear. During operation, the pipe wears out, lets air through, loses its tightness. Problems with pressure appear, so the unit begins to work incorrectly.
- Control module malfunction. If the electronic unit is damaged, the behavior of the machine will be unpredictable. The washing machine can give any error, including E8. Board diagnostics will be required.
The majority of issues can be resolved on your own, without the need to consult a master. This holds true for obstructions and the substitution of specific components. In the event that the electronic module is the cause, service center experts will be necessary.
First check the warranty
Never attempt to fix an error on a newly acquired machine yourself. Haier offers a one-year warranty on all of their washing machines. During this time, you can get free diagnostics and repairs by contacting the service center. You won’t be able to get warranty service if you open the washing machine’s case before contacting the technician.
Naturally, in order to avoid overpaying the master, it is preferable to attempt solving the problem on your own if the warranty has long since expired. Furthermore, the E8 error is typically not linked to any significant issues. Prior to anything else, the hatch door and inlet hose are checked to see if there is water in them and to see if they are pinched. In-depth diagnostics start if everything is good with this.
Fault finding algorithm
Notification The Haier washing machine shows E8 on the display at the start of the cycle, but it is still empty. This makes the task easier because it eliminates the need for the user to figure out how to empty the washing machine’s water tank before running diagnostics. The equipment only needs to be de-energized.
De-energize the Haier washing machine and shut off the shut-off valve before initiating the diagnostic process.
You can now launch the diagnostics. Remember that the basic is checked first. Ensure that:
- there is water in the pipes;
- the shut-off valve in front of the washing machine was not closed when you started the cycle;
- the inlet hose is not pinched or kinked;
- the hatch door is completely closed.
The filters are the next thing to examine. Reach the filter mesh that is positioned in front of the inlet valve first. Algorithm of action:
- unhook the inlet hose from the washing machine body;
- find the filter mesh;
- use pliers to grab the special protrusion on the filter element, pull out the mesh;
- rinse the nozzle under water, clean off the plaque;
- return the filter to its original place, helping yourself with pliers.
Check the coarse filter next. It’s right in front of the washing machine’s inlet hose, right after the shut-off valve. You’ll need a pair of wrenches to take apart the element. One person needs to hold the tap junction while the other removes the fixing screw.
Water will flow while the element is disassembled. For this reason, it is preferable to have rags and a basin ready in advance. The coarse filter will clean itself under high pressure; all you need to do is wait for about a minute and tighten the bolt again.
While seeing error code E8 on a Haier washing machine can be annoying, knowing what causes it can help you fix it faster. This error typically indicates that the machine’s internal temperature sensor is malfunctioning or that there is an issue with the water heating element.
Potential problems, such as a broken heating element or sensor, can be fixed to stop more problems and guarantee that your washing machine keeps working well. When troubleshooting, it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions; if you’re unsure about the repairs, you should also think about speaking with a professional.
Your washing machine’s lifespan can be increased with routine maintenance and careful attention to any error codes that may appear. With the correct strategy, you can fix the E8 error and quickly resume your regular washing schedule.
When a Haier washing machine displays the E8 error code, there is usually a motor problem. This problem can be caused by an imbalance in the load or by a problem with the motor itself. Although this error can make the machine malfunction, it is usually fixable by redistributing the laundry, inspecting the machine for obstructions, or resetting it. Should these measures prove ineffective, additional examination or expert repair may be required.
