7H-06Water flow problem during cooling/defrost

Name in the manufacturer's documentation (service manual): Water flow problem during cooling/defrost[1]

In plain words (editorial)

Water flow problem during cooling or defrost. The manual lists, among others: a closed stop valve in the water circuit, air in the circuit, too low water flow or pressure, no by-pass installed, a dirty magnetic filter/dirt separator, or a faulty flow sensor, 3-way valve, pump or hydro PCB. A faulty backup heater is also listed.

When to call a service technician: Check that the water pressure is in range and the valves are open; otherwise contact your installer.
