Unox WF34

What does Unox WF34 mean?

WF34 is a warning indicating a fault with valve EG1 or EL2 in the oven's water/steam circuit. The control has detected that one of these valves is not operating as expected. As a warning the oven continues with limited function while flagging the affected valve.

Symptoms

• WF34 warning on the control panel
• Steam or water function impaired
• Valve EG1 or EL2 not actuating correctly
• Warning recurs during the affected cycle

Common causes

• Valve EG1 or EL2 stuck or faulty
• Valve coil failure
• Wiring fault to the valve
• Scale or blockage in the valve

Diagnostic steps

1. 01

   Power down and identify the valves

   Turn off power and locate valves EG1 and EL2 in the water/steam circuit.

2. 02

   Check valve operation

   Verify each valve actuates when energised and is not blocked by scale.

3. 03

   Test coils and wiring

   Measure the valve coils and wiring with a multimeter to find the faulty one.

4. 04

   Replace the faulty valve

   Replace whichever of EG1 or EL2 does not operate correctly and retest.

When to call a professional

WF34 points to one of two solenoid valves. Isolating and replacing the faulty valve is electrical and plumbing work for a qualified Unox technician if a basic operation check does not clear the warning.
