What does Convotherm error code E59.0 mean?

After the cleaning agent has done its job, the oven rinses the cabinet, and a second dispensing pump adds rinse aid from its own canister so the chamber dries without streaks or cleaner residue. The control checks that this pump moves liquid when the rinse stage calls for it. If the canister is empty, air has entered the line, or the pump does not deliver, the check fails and the oven displays E59.0 Rinse aid dispensing pump fault. Cooking functions are not tied to this pump, so the oven goes on baking and steaming, but the full cleaning program cannot finish properly. Rinse aid is thin and the line is short, so a canister that has just run out is the typical reason. The manual's step is practical: fill the canister with rinse aid, restart, and repeat if necessary until the line is full of liquid again.

  • Rinse stage skipped or incomplete
  • Streaks or film left in the chamber
  • Rinse aid canister empty

Possible causes

Likely causes — what usually sits behind error code E59.0 on this control. A technician confirms which one it is before any part is replaced.

  • Rinse aid canister ran empty
  • Air trapped in the rinse aid line after refilling
  • Canister cap or suction tube not seated
  • Pump or check valve gummed up by dried rinse aid

Safe checks before calling for service

✓ What an operator can do
  1. Look at the rinse aid canister and refill it with rinse aid, not cleaner.
  2. Check that the suction tube reaches into the liquid and the cap is closed.
  3. Restart the unit.
  4. Repeat the restart if necessary until the line fills, as the manual instructs.
  5. If E59.0 stays, contact Customer Service and note which products you use.

How a technician diagnoses error code E59.0

  1. Read E59.0 and the history and see whether it appears at the rinse stage only.
  2. Inspect the canister, tube and fittings for air leaks.
  3. Run the priming sequence and watch for liquid reaching the cabinet.
  4. Measure the supply to the pump when rinse is requested.
  5. Check the pump and check valve for deposits or damage.
  6. Replace the pump only if the voltage is present and the pump does not move liquid.
! Leave this to a technician
  • Opening the rinse aid and cleaning lines means handling chemicals that irritate skin and eyes.
  • Voltage checks at the pump are made with the oven powered and the cover off.
  • Telling a blocked check valve from a weak pump takes disassembly and a priming test.

How error code E59.0 differs from similar codes

E58.0 is the matching code for the cleaning agent pump.
