E31 / F31

Bosch dishwasher E31 / F31 error

Bosch support lists E31 / F31 for dishwasher model families in some regions. On the supported BSH platform it is a drying-system fault that can leave the machine operating without normal heating or drying. Do not confuse E31 / F31 with E31-00 / E3100, which is a different water-protection code.

Red LOS light on fiber modem

A red or flashing LOS light on many fiber ONTs means the optical link is missing or too weak. Nokia documentation identifies red alarm/PON-off states with LOS/LOF, while TP-Link describes red LOS as an optical-signal failure. Check only safe external cable routing and then involve the fiber provider if the light remains red.
