Hi guys, sure hope you can help me on this one! With the virus situation we're stuck at home and my wife is loosing it ...

Well, after completing a cycle and reloaded, my noticed that the machine is not responding.

Display is showing blinking "Play"sign (pause/play) and most of the other info is not showing

Program selector is not responsive either (nothing changes)

Unplugging for 20 Min did nothing

Found out on the net a procedure to turn it on while the program selector is at "12"and while holding the "Play/Pause"button and it turned on showing F 08. Also when pressing the "play/pause" at this stage shows C88 (Can be seen in attached video)

BTW I once knew a key combination to hold for a few seconds to reset the controller but I forgot it... does anyone know it?

I'm attaching videos of the display in normal Ön" and with the F-08 as I described above.

Any help on this would be very much appreciated!!!

Thanks and wish us all good health!

Blomberg WN-8428 unresponsive with F08 traced to door lock

The problem
Blomberg WN-8428 washing machine became unresponsive after completing a cycle and being reloaded. The display showed a blinking play/pause symbol, most other display information was missing, and the programme selector did not respond. A key procedure brought up fault code F08, and pressing play/pause at that stage showed C88.
Likely cause
Confirmed by the original poster as a faulty door switch/door lock.
What fixed it
The original poster reported solving the fault by replacing the door switch/locker. They also stated that clearing the code afterwards required holding the two buttons below the display marked with a lock symbol.
Checks to try
  • Machine unplugged for 20 minutes with no change
  • Diagnostic key procedure displayed F08
  • Pressing play/pause during that state displayed C88
Parts or tools mentioned
  • Door switch / door lock

Unfortunately I don't have any error codes for Blomberg. What's that high pitched noise, is that the washing machine and normal?

Hi Andy,

Thank you for your reply.

I have managed to solve this!

Just went over the most suspicious things, it was the door switch /locker

By the way, to reset the code after the replacement, you need to hold the two buttons below the display, marked with a lock symbol...

Best,

Dedy.
