Varimixer Mixer Error Code EE:06: Inverter Connection Lost
EE:06 on a Varimixer ERGO mixer means the connection to the frequency inverter has been lost. Press the stop button twice to reset the alarm. If it continues, contact technical assistance and see the service manual; the manual says to call a technician.
High: without the inverter link the mixer cannot run.
What does Varimixer error code EE:06 mean?
The main motor is driven by a frequency inverter, and the touch display talks to it over a link. If that link goes quiet, the display and control cannot command the motor, and the mixer shows EE:06. Without the inverter the mixer cannot run. The manual's operator step is to press the stop button twice to reset the alarm, which can clear a one-off interruption. It also says to call a technician and refers to the service manual if the alarm continues. A returning code points to the cable, the connector, the inverter or the display, and none of these can be sorted out at the front of the machine. Flour dust and moisture are common in a bakery or kitchen, and both can build up on a connector over time and make a communication link intermittent. The code gives no hint about which end of the link has the problem, so it has to be traced with the covers off. Until then, avoid running the mixer from the wall switch as a way of forcing a restart.

Possible causes
Likely causes — what usually sits behind error code EE:06 on this control. A technician confirms which one it is before any part is replaced.
- Connection to the frequency inverter lost
- Communication cable between the display and inverter loose
- Connector corroded by flour dust or moisture
- Inverter not powering up
- Power dip during start-up
Safe checks before calling for service
- Press the stop button twice to reset the alarm.
- Try Start again.
- Do not unplug or open anything.
- If EE:06 returns, switch the mixer off at the wall and contact technical assistance.
- Tell the technician whether the code appears at power-up or while running.
How a technician diagnoses error code EE:06
- Read the code and the history.
- Check the communication cable and connectors between the display and inverter.
- Check inverter power and its status indication.
- Check the supply voltage.
- Reseat the connectors and test the link.
- Replace the cable, display or inverter as the tests show.
- The inverter runs at line voltage and holds charge after switch-off.
- Link tests are made with the covers off and the machine powered.
- A flaky link can be a cable, a connector or a board, and only measurements on the live link separate them.
How error code EE:06 differs from similar codes
EE:07 is a problem inside the inverter, while EE:06 is a lost connection to it.

Related Varimixer mixer error codes
Does pressing stop twice fix EE:06?
It resets the alarm, which can clear a one-off interruption. A code that returns needs service.
Is the motor broken?
Not necessarily. The control cannot reach the inverter that drives the motor, so the motor never gets its command.
Is EE:06 the same as EE:07?
No. EE:07 is a problem inside the inverter. EE:06 is a lost connection to it.
