Huebsch Topload Washer Error E:0F: Infrared Communicator Off
E:0F on a Huebsch timer-type topload washer with the EDC control means the infrared communicator has been programmed off, so the Micro-wand IIIe gets no reply. The washer keeps washing. Reprogram the infrared communicator to on, following your setup sheet, and call us if you cannot turn it back on.
Low: an operator-level setting message; the washer keeps washing while the infrared link is off.

What does Huebsch error code E:0F mean?
The EDC control talks to the Micro-wand IIIe, the handheld tool owners use to set prices, read data and collect information, through an infrared window. That link can be switched on or off in the control's options. E:0F is the control's way of showing that the communicator has been programmed off: it is deliberately ignoring the wand, so the tool gets no answer. Nothing is broken and the washer keeps washing, which is why the code is easy to overlook until the next time somebody needs to set prices or collect data. Owners most often see it when the wand shows no connection, or after someone switched infrared off for security or by mistake. The manual's step is to reprogram the communicator on. Who changed the setting last, how the Micro-wand is aimed, and, only if the setting is already correct, the communicator itself are the remaining items. The setting can only be changed from within the options, and the code cannot tell us why it was turned off. The display text is E:0F.
Affected models and control systems
Huebsch timer-type topload washers with the EDC electronic control and the Micro-wand IIIe. Other controls handle the wand differently.
Code numbers and their meaning can change between control generations. We match the full model and control before acting on a code.
What you may notice
- E:0F on the display

Possible causes
Listed in Huebsch's documentation
- Infrared switched off in the control's options
- Setting changed by someone for security or by mistake
- Micro-wand and how it is aimed
- Communicator itself
Other likely causes — what usually sits behind error code E:0F on this control. A technician confirms which one it is before any part is replaced.
- A control reset or replaced that returned to a setup with infrared off
- An aim problem from a smudged or scratched infrared window
Safe checks before calling for service
- Reprogram the infrared communicator to on, following your setup sheet.
- Re-aim the Micro-wand and try the exchange again.
- Keep the washer idle while you do it.
- If you cannot turn it back on, phone us or send the online form.
- Tell us who last changed the options and whether the wand worked before.
How a technician diagnoses error code E:0F
- Read E:0F and confirm the washer is the EDC timer-type model.
- Enter the options and check the infrared communicator setting.
- Switch the setting on and test the Micro-wand exchange.
- Check the wand's battery and aim at the control's infrared window.
- Clean or inspect the window for damage.
- Replace the communicator only if the setting is on and the link still fails.
- The setting can only be changed from within the control's options using the service procedure.
- We cannot tell from the code why it was turned off, so we check who and when with the owner.
- A changed price or audit setting can affect revenue, so we confirm the setup sheet before saving.
