    Check X7 plug, there are many threads on this forum to do with this issue.

    Regards

    Most common problem is air leakage during wash cycle, airpressure will drop below 6 bar.

    If I were to bet on this I would say Marc has the right problem highlighted. There is an air leak causing the press to stop during the wash up process. It is probably one of the air bladders in the wash up device itself.

    Image 60% Screen on all for plates and do a wash up. The one that has the leak will have barely washed up the plate on that unit when compared to the other 3.

    You can turn off 2 units and wash up plates. If you have the same problem, turn one more off (3 units now off) and wash up plate. If problem still there, that unit is where to look. If not wash up one at a time to find problem unit. This should eliminate guess work and take you straight to the problem area.

    X7 plug and Air Leak are both good points to consider.

    It is very easy to determine if you have an air leak when washing up. Very Easy! On the computer monitor screen select the 3rd option (The page that displays the amount of plates you have left.) Now activate your wash up and monitor the screen. if you have a air leak then you will see a red stop button appear on the screen, plus you will also display air leak error code (SF) confirming you have an issue with low pressure.

    Thanks to all, I try everything what you tell me, but I found the problem that was funny and not professional, my main vacuum filters was very dirty I clean it and everything now working good...
    Thanks

    All good answers but...If your press is a Plus model and the the press stops during the cleaning cycle at the point when the blanket washers kick on then its none of the above. I'm thinking its the low pressure switch...
