Lamona Washing Machine Error Codes

If your Lamona washing machine is displaying an error code, the appliance has detected a problem and stopped the programme as a precaution. Understanding what these codes mean can help you identify whether the issue is something you can resolve yourself or whether professional assistance is required.

Lamona washing machines are sold exclusively through Howdens Joinery and are fitted in a large number of UK kitchens. Error codes vary between models — current integrated models such as the LAM8720 and LAM8741 use a detailed E-code system, while older and freestanding models may use a simpler set of codes. Always consult your user manual for model-specific information.

Try This First (Quick Reset)
* Switch the machine off at the mains
* Leave it unplugged for at least one minute
* Reconnect the power, switch back on and restart the programme

This can clear temporary faults and save you an unnecessary repair call.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my Lamona washing machine showing an error code?

Error codes are displayed when the machine detects a fault. They help identify the cause so the correct repair can be carried out.

Can I reset my Lamona washing machine?

Yes — switching off at the mains and leaving unplugged for at least one minute can clear temporary faults. If the same code reappears, the underlying fault needs to be investigated.

Which Lamona washing machine error codes can I investigate myself?

E04, E05 and E08 have user checks you can carry out at home. E17 and E18 are not faults at all — they indicate detergent or load issues. E29 also has some user checks worth trying. The remaining codes typically require a qualified engineer.
