Arçelik Washing machine SC: Technical control warning

Service needed after checks. The exact model manual determines applicability; a fault code alone does not prove a particular component is defective.

ERROR CODESCCheck your exact model

No verified model list is available for this code

A manufacturer code/support source may be available, but no exact supported model has been documented for this record. Do not treat the code as a model-specific diagnosis without checking the manual.

Verify the full model number against the manufacturer manual.

What does this code mean?

Service needed after checks. The exact model manual determines applicability; a fault code alone does not prove a particular component is defective.

Source scope: Compatibility with specific model numbers has not been established. Always check your exact appliance manual.

Code meaning checked against manufacturer — verify model

The manufacturer lists this code and general meaning; compatibility with your exact model has not been verified. Follow your model manual.

What can you try?

  1. 01

    Record the exact code and when it appeared

    Note every letter and digit, the stage of the cycle and the full model label. Error meanings can vary between models.

    What the result means: This prevents applying guidance for a different model or a similar-looking code.

  2. 02

    Inspect the drain hose and household drain

    Look for kinks, crushing and sink-drain backup without moving heavy equipment. Keep away from electrical fittings if water is present.

    What the result means: A blocked drain path can prevent water evacuation.

  3. 03

    Clean the user-accessible filter safely

    Stop the unit and let hot water cool. Use the dishwasher sump filter or the washer pump filter only as described in its manual. Protect the floor and never force a stuck cover.

    What the result means: Removing debris may restore drainage; re-fit the filter correctly.

  4. 04

    Use a manufacturer-approved drain test

    Once the filter is refitted, run the cancel/drain function defined in the manual. Stop if you hear grinding or see a leak.

    What the result means: If the water level does not fall, professional diagnosis may be needed.

Stop immediately for leaks, smoke, burning smell or electrical danger. For gas leaks, leave the area and call local emergency services.

How do you actually fix this?

Start with safe checks. Some codes have no safe home fix; in that case we explain what the professional repair actually involves.

Practical fixes you can try

  1. Compare the exact code and full model/series with the manufacturer material. Record the cycle stage and accompanying symptoms.
  2. If the issue concerns accessible water supply, a door, load, external filter or operating mode, perform only checks the exact manual allows. Do not open the appliance to guess parts.
  3. Stop for leaks, gas, smoke, unusual heat or repeated electrical problems. Otherwise use at most one normal restart only if the manual permits.

If it persists, how is it actually repaired?

The repair is not random part replacement: a technician tests the fault-relevant mechanism and its inputs/outputs, fixes a confirmed blockage, connector or component defect, then verifies normal operation.

How do you know it is fixed? The original symptoms must disappear and the code must not recur in normal operation.

Safety and warranty: Warranty terms depend on manufacturer, model and local law. Damage caused by unauthorised disassembly or improper repair may be excluded. Live electrical work, gas, refrigerant circuits and sealed cabinets require qualified professionals; this is not a DIY instruction for those tasks.

Evidence: The manufacturer link above supports the broad code meaning. The repair pathway is a general technical diagnostic explanation, not a confirmed failed-part diagnosis for every model.
