Error codes

# Washer error codes, read properly.

A code narrows the search and is also the thing most often read wrong: the same characters mean different things on different brands, and a fair number of the codes people look up are not failures at all — they are modes the appliance was left in.

## Find your code, make by make.

Type the characters exactly as the display shows them, or pick the make. Each code has a page of its own: what it means on that brand, what to check, and what not to do.

### Only confirmed codes

Every code here is taken from the manufacturer's own documentation, never from a forum or a parts listing. If yours is not listed, book with the exact characters and the full model number, and we will tell you whether it is one we take.

## Three things before you look it up.

A code is a lead, not a verdict. These decide whether the answer you find will be any use.

01

### Exactly what the display shows

Each letter and number in order, and whether it blinks. Photograph it before anything else, since opening the door or canceling the cycle can wipe some codes.

02

### The full model number

Look on the sticker around the door opening, under the lid or on the back of the cabinet. The same code can mean a drain issue on one make and a lock issue on another.

03

### Is water escaping, or does it smell hot?

That answer decides whether you shut the valves and cut the power right now, or just book the next free slot.

## What each kind of code means.

Codes fall into a handful of families. The family says more about the likely repair than the characters do — and one of them is not a repair at all.

[How to read a code](https://washerrepair.center/problems/washer-error-code/)

### Mode, not a failure

18 codes

Something the washer does by design, or a setting somebody turned on — a child lock, a prompt to run a cleaning cycle, a paused cycle waiting for the door. No part has failed and nothing needs replacing.

### Drain

15 codes

The washer tried to empty the tub and the water level did not drop in time. A sock or a coin in the pump filter, a kinked drain hose or a blocked standpipe is ruled out before the pump itself.

Water arrived too slowly, not at all, or kept coming after it should have stopped. The supply valves on the wall and the screens inside the fill hoses are checked before the inlet valve or the level sensor.

### Unbalanced load

10 codes

The control sensed the drum wobbling and cut the spin short. Usually it is one heavy item bunched to one side or a machine that is not level; worn shocks or springs come next, and shipping bolts left in a new washer are checked too.

### Door and lid lock

22 codes

The control cannot confirm that the door or lid is locked, or cannot release it. A latch that does not reach the lock, a bent strike or water still in the tub is looked at before the lock assembly.

### Drive motor

9 codes

The control told the drum to turn and it did not turn as expected — a slipped or broken belt, a worn coupler, or a motor or its speed sensor reading out of range. The belt and the connections are checked before the motor.

### Sensor circuit

11 codes

A water level sensor, a temperature sensor or the wiring to one of them is reporting a value outside its range. The reading and the small air hose to the level sensor are checked with a meter before any part is ordered.

### Communication

3 codes

The main control board and the panel board have lost contact with each other. The wire harness and its plugs are checked, and any sign of water reaching them, before either board is replaced.

## Questions about the codes.

### The code on my washer has no page here. What should I do?

It only means no documented page exists for it yet; a code is added once the maker's own material explains it. Note the characters and whether they blink, and enter them in the booking form so the technician can check them against your model.

### Will a washer code mean the same thing whatever the brand?

No. Characters that mean a slow drain on one make can mean a door lock or a water level sensor on another, and some makers changed meanings from one generation to the next. Always read a code against the make and, when it matters, the model.

### Can I clear a washer code myself?

Unplugging the washer or switching off its breaker for a few minutes sometimes clears it, and a code that stays gone was often a one-off, such as an oversized load. A code that keeps returning is reporting something real, and clearing it again and again only hides how often it happens.

### A code is showing but the washer still runs. Is something wrong?

Not always. Several codes that owners search for are prompts or locks — a child lock, a reminder to run a cleaning cycle, a warning that the load is out of balance — that change how the washer behaves without any part failing. Each code page flags the ones that are only a mode and explains how to turn it off.
