If your Candy washing machine won’t spin, it’s simple to diagnose the problem. The Candy washing machine E03 error is the most common fault with this kind of appliance. Telling you there’s some kind of problem with drainage or your pump, the usual culprit with this code is a blocked filter.
Luckily, this can be pretty easy to deal with. All you need to do is locate the filter – check your manual or find the little door it usually hides behind. Find the hose inside, find the cap on the hose, hold a container under it (water is going to drain out), and then remove the cap. Post-draining, you should be able to turn the filter anti-clockwise, remove it, clean it, and replace everything.

After you’ve done your basic count of the light flashes to determine the code – remember, eight flashes in between pauses would be a Candy washing machine E08 error, for example – it’s usually best to call in Candy washing machine repairman.
For instance, the Candy washing machine E16 code is a heater issue. You don’t want to be messing around with an electrical heater near water unless you’re qualified to do so. The thing to do with most Candy washing fault codes is to count the flashes, see what error you’re dealing with, clean the filter if it seems relevant, then get an expert in.
