What E Ld
actually means.
UniMac's auto leak detection watches the level while valves are closed. A falling level means water is escaping, usually through the drain valve. When it happens in a cycle, E Ld is shown for one minute after the door is opened at the end.

What to do when E Ld shows on the commercial applianceKind of codeWater, fill and drain
Water is not arriving, not reaching its level, not heating or not leaving on time. A dish machine may be short of fill because a supply valve is half closed or its line strainer is clogged, it may drain slowly through a scrap basket full of debris, or its booster may be too scaled to heat the rinse; a combi's steam generator may be scaled or its water treatment exhausted; a washer-extractor may time out on a slow drain. Opening the supply valve, cleaning strainers with the unit off and checking the drain line are fair; a pump, a fill valve, a heater or a leak near wiring is a visit.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from UniMac's own guidance for E Ld on its commercial appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Note the code and let the cycle finish; the laundry is still washed.
Watch the drain outlet during the next fill for water running out.
Book a visit so the drain valve seal can be checked before it wastes more water and chemistry.
What not to do
E Ld is not a leak onto the floor; the water is leaving through the drain. Its partner E LF covers a fill valve letting water in.

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.
