Continental Girbau Inteli Washer Error Code 103: Program Full

What does Continental Girbau error code 103 mean?

Each program on the Inteli control is built from phases, such as fill, wash, drain and spin steps, and one program can hold at most 50 of them. When you try to add a phase beyond that limit, the control displays 103 (Program full). The message tells you about the program you are working on, not about the whole memory. The manual's action is to delete unused programs or phases. The table names actions only, without a cause list. A program that has grown to 50 phases has usually been edited many times, with steps added in place of old ones that were never removed. Reviewing it phase by phase often shows duplicates or steps that do nothing. Where several rinses repeat the same settings, the program can often be shortened without changing the result. Codes 101 and 102 describe the other two limits, slots and memory.

Affected models and control systems

Continental Girbau E-Series washer-extractors with Inteli control, sheet names RMG055 and smaller and EH060 and larger. Washers with Logi, LogiPro or Vended control use ALn alarms instead.

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

• Code 103 on the display
• Cannot add another phase to the program
• Programming stops at the last allowed phase

Possible causes

Likely causes — what usually sits behind error code 103 on this control. A technician confirms which one it is before any part is replaced.

• Program has reached the 50-phase maximum
• Repeated rinse steps added one at a time
• Old phases left in place after edits
• A copied program that already held many phases

Safe checks before calling for service

How a technician diagnoses error code 103

1. Confirm the code appears while adding a phase.
2. List the program's phases and look for repeats.
3. Back up the program settings.
4. Delete unused phases.
5. Save and run the program to confirm it behaves as intended.

How error code 103 differs from similar codes

Code 103 is a limit on one program. Codes 101 and 102 are limits on slots and total memory.
