Huebsch Frontload Washer Error E rr: Coin Error
E rr on a Huebsch Quantum frontload washer is a coin error: the control read an invalid coin pulse or the coin sensor is dead, so coins are not credited and the washer will not start. Look into the coin slot for a bent coin or token without pushing a tool in, and try one clean quarter. Tag the washer out of order if it still rejects coins, and call us.
Medium: the washer will not take payment, which costs sales, though the wash cycle itself is untouched.

What does Huebsch error code E rr mean?
When a customer drops a coin, the coin sensor sends a pulse to the control, which counts the credit. If the pulse is invalid, for example because a coin is bent or foreign, or because the sensor produces no signal, the control displays E rr and does not credit the vend. Customers drop coins that are not credited, or credited oddly, and the washer will not start. The trouble is in the coin acceptor path, and the wash itself is untouched. The manual's list begins with coins or debris jammed in the slide, then coin sensor cleanliness and alignment, wiring from the coin drop to the control, and finally the control's coin input. Foreign coins and slugs can leave the same code, so one odd coin is not a diagnosis. The display cannot say whether the sensor, the wiring or the drop is to blame. Lost sales make this one worth fixing soon, because each rejected coin is a customer who may leave. The display text is E rr.

How a technician diagnoses error code E rr
- Read E rr and test with known good coins.
- Inspect the coin slide and return path for jammed coins or debris.
- Clean the coin sensor and check its alignment.
- Check the wiring from the coin drop to the control for damage and loose connectors.
- Measure the sensor pulse output while passing a coin.
- Check the control's coin input only after the drop and wiring pass.
- The coin drop wiring runs into the control cabinet that also holds line-voltage terminals.
- The display does not say whether the sensor, the wiring or the drop is to blame, so each is checked.
- Known coins go through the coin path under our test, and the price is in writing first.
