Hi We have a Ecomax CHF40 glass washer when you turn it on it flips to draining but it is empty then it goes to safe mode got any ideas

fresh water there has only 2 sources.
1: rain (or parked near powerful sprinklers)
2: condensate from HVAC Evaporator pan drain clogged
are you using AC cooling? yes/no? or heater mode,in defrost ,mode ,yes/no? ,if NO and NO, see #1

rain gets from bad door gaskets(seals), or broken glass or from
front top , front of windshield glass ,cowling drains clogged.

take it back tell them they failed.

Hi,

This a common problem for all front loaders. Your washer will not drain or work 'cause your outlet filter is clogged or an unusually heavy load. The small door is on the left side front bottom of your washer. Remove the door with a putty knife or thin butter knife inserted in the middle top of the access panel door. Drain the water from the filter housing by pulling the tube out of the clip and unplugging, allow it to run into a bucket while the machine is in spin only mode. This mode is acheived when the washer is first powered on press the spin button until no spin is reached then run. Run in this mode until no water is draining from the tube in the bucket. Keep the tube as low as possible. When water has stopped coming out of the tube turn off the washer and unplug from the wall. This step is important because this resets the fault. Expect some water to come out when you open the filter housing by turning counterclockwise until you can pull the filter from its housing. Clean out your filter, return to housing turning clockwise until seated and recap the tube and place in the holder, refit the cover and plug back into the wall. Fixed. You may also need to lighten the load a bit but I always try full on load anyways. If it fails again just lighten, unplug wait >1 minute then replug and run.

Goodluck..

I would check whatever pump feeds the lines. Maybe a fuse for that pump as well.

Long fill error code if you have flood safe water hoses replace with regular hoses, this may sound stupid but I have seen this in the field make sure water is turned on, other possible reasons bad inlet valve or no power to valve from control, front load washers are notorious for rubbing a hole in the tube that goes to the pressure switch this switch is what tells the control to output power to the inlet valve also make sure the drain hose hasn't fallen to the floor. Quickest way to eliminate some things start with an empty washer after door locks unlocks and locks again the basket will rotate a few times then water should enter the machine fill to a level in the the basket that is barely above the bottom holes in the bottom then stop this eliminates control and inlet valve , if unit continues to fill and you get water half way up the door glass probably a hole in pressure switch tube I very seldom see a pressure switch go bad hopes this helps.

Hi, error 5 on a Hobart Ecomax CHF40 relates to a faulty thermostat, it isn't a common or generic problem with this model, i have found them to be very reliable, its possible the probe has scaled up which may have caused the problem. i can be contscted through www.easicook.co.uk if you need any further assistance

Hi, can I get a Model# and make so I can try and assist you?

check to make sure nothing is binding the impeller, ie: broken glass, coins, twist ties, plastic bag.

Door lock switch # 131763245 if everything else is working fine this should fix the problem. It shorts out between the motor control board and the door lock from emptying the cycle and spinning. Try running your machine on drain/spin and see if it drains and tosses clothes and then stops with no spin. If that happens then it is your door lock.switch. Easy to replace by yourself and costs $65.00
