What E do
actually means.

E do ends the cycle and needs a power-down to clear. UniMac names pulling on the door during locking as the usual cause and asks for the locking system to be corrected when it happens without that.

Questions
about E do.

Can I clear E do myself?
Remind staff not to pull the handle after pressing start. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Why does E do show up after staff changes on a UniMac?
New staff often pull the door to check it is closed just after starting, which trips the code.
Does E do lose the wash on a UniMac?
The cycle ends, so the load has to be started again after powering down.
What part fails when E do keeps returning on a UniMac?
The door lock assembly or its switch, which a technician tests with the panels open.

Still showing E do?

A booking with a code goes further when it has the code as shown, the model and serial from the data plate, and a word on whether the unit still holds temperature, heats, rinses or spins. With those three, the office can match the likely part to your unit the same day.
