Unox WF35

What does Unox WF35 mean?

WF35 is a warning indicating a fault with valve EG1, EG2 or EL2 in the oven's water/steam circuit. One of these valves is not operating correctly. As a warning the oven keeps running with reduced function while flagging that one of these valves needs service.

Symptoms

• WF35 warning on the control panel
• Steam or water function impaired
• A valve (EG1, EG2 or EL2) not actuating
• Warning recurs during the affected cycle

Common causes

• One of valves EG1, EG2 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 locate the valves

   Turn off power and identify valves EG1, EG2 and EL2.

2. 02

   Test each valve

   Verify each valve actuates when energised and is not blocked.

3. 03

   Measure coils and wiring

   Check the valve coils and wiring with a multimeter to isolate the faulty valve.

4. 04

   Replace the faulty valve

   Replace whichever valve does not operate correctly and retest.

When to call a professional

WF35 spans three solenoid valves, so isolating the faulty one takes methodical testing. Replacing the valve is electrical and plumbing work for a qualified Unox technician if a basic check does not resolve the warning.
