Candy Washing Machine Error Code E05 – Meaning and Possible Fixes
Candy Washing Machine Error Code E05
If your Candy washing machine displays Error Code E05, it usually indicates a problem with the water temperature sensor.
Candy washing machines monitor the water temperature during a wash cycle using a thermistor (temperature sensor). If the appliance cannot read the correct temperature or detects that the sensor is faulty, it may stop the cycle and display the E05 error code.
On some Candy washing machine models this error may also appear as E5.

What the E05 Error Means
The E05 error code indicates that the washing machine cannot correctly read the water temperature. The thermistor is responsible for sending temperature information to the control board so the machine knows when to heat the water.
If the sensor fails or sends incorrect readings, the washing machine may stop the programme and display this error.
