Error Code
Condition
DIY advice
E10
Water fill problem
Check/Repair
The control detected that water level did not change for 7 minutes. Make sure the water supply faucets behind the appliance are fully open. Check the water fill lines for kinks or freezing (in the winter). Check the water inlet fill valves. If the valves don't open to fill the tub when activated, replace the water inlet valve assembly.
Possible parts
Water inlet valve assembly
E11
Water left in tub
Check/Repair
Check the drain hose for kinks and clogs. Clean debris from the coin trap. Replace the drain pump if it doesn't run when activated. Unplug the washer to clear the error code.
Possible parts
Drain pump
E12
Water overflow
Check/Repair
The water level sensor detects an overflow condition. Unplug the washer and, if the washer is overfilled, check the water inlet valve assembly for proper shut-off of water flow. If the water inlet valve assembly doesn't shut off water flow with the washer unplugged, replace the water inlet valve assembly. If the washer is empty when this error code appears, replace the water-level pressure switch.
Possible parts
Water inlet valve assembly, water level sensor
E20
Drain cycle error
Check/Repair
The drain pump never cycled on to drain water. Check the wire harness connections between the main control board and the drain pump. Reconnect any loose wires or replace the wire harness if damaged. If the wire connections are okay, replace the drain pump. If the problem continues, replace the main control board.
Possible parts
Drain pump, main control board, wire harness
E21
Slow drain
Check/Repair
The main control board didn't detect water level change for 6 minutes or longer. Check the drain hose for kinks and clogs. Clean debris from the coin trap. If the drain pump doesn't run when activated, check the wire harness connections between the drain pump and the main control board. Reconnect any loose wires or replace the wire harness if damaged. If the wire connections are okay, replace the drain pump. If the error continues, replace the main control board.
Possible parts
Drain pump, main control board, wire harness
E30 or E31
Door lock failure
Check/Repair
Unplug the appliance and check the wire harness connections between the main control board and door lock assembly. Reconnect any loose wires or replace the wire harness if damaged. If the wire connections are okay, replace the door lock assembly.
Possible parts
Door lock assembly, wire harness
E33
Water level sensor failure
Check/Repair
Unplug the appliance and check the wire harness connections between the water level sensor and the main control board. Reconnect any loose wires or replace the wire harness if damaged. If the wire connections are okay, replace the water level sensor.
Possible parts
Water level sensor, wire harness
E34 or E35
Water heater sensor failure
Check/Repair
Unplug the appliance and check the wire harness connections between the main control board and the water heater sensor. Reconnect any loose wires or replace the wire harness if damaged. If the wire harness connections are okay, replace the water heater sensor.
Possible parts
Water heater sensor, wire harness
E36
Water heating element failure
Check/Repair
Unplug the appliance and check the wire harness connections between the water heating element and the main control board. Reconnect any loose wires or replace the wire harness if damaged. Measure the resistance of the water heating element using a multimeter. You should measure about 14 ohms of resistance through the heating element. Replace the water heating element if you measure infinite resistance, indicating the heating element is broken.
Possible parts
Water heating element, wire harness
E37 or E38
Inlet air temperature sensor failure
Check/Repair
Unplug the appliance and check the wire harness connections between the inlet air temperature sensor and the main control board. Reconnect any loose wires or replace the wire harness if damaged. Check the resistance of the inlet air temperature sensor using a multimeter. You should measure around 5,000 ohms at room temperature. If resistance is off by more than 1000 ohms, replace the inlet air temperature sensor.
Possible parts
Inlet air temperature sensor, wire harness
E3A
Dryer heating element failure
Check/Repair
Unplug the appliance and check the wiring harness connection between the dryer heating element and the main control board. Reconnect any loose wires or replace the wire harness if damaged. Check the resistance of the dryer heating element. You should measure 13 ohms of resistance through the heating element. If the heating element and wiring is okay, replace the main control board. Replace the dryer heating element if you measure infinite resistance, indicating the heating element is broken.
Possible parts
Dryer heating element, main control board, wire harness
E40
Main control board EEPROM error
Check/Repair
The Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) on the main control board is corrupted. Unplug the appliance for 5 minutes, restore power and see if the code clears. If not, replace the main control board.
Possible parts
Main control board
E52, E53 or E54
Main control board error
Check/Repair
Unplug the appliance and replace the main control board.
Possible parts
Main control board
E55
High motor current
Check/Repair
Unplug the appliance for 5 minutes to reset the main control board. If the code returns after restoring power, check to see if the spin basket rotates freely. If the spin basket rotates freely, unplug the appliance and replace the main control board. If you detect resistance when rotating the spin basket, unplug the appliance and remove the drive belt from the motor pulley. Spin the drive motor pulley. Replace the drive motor if the motor pulley doesn't spin freely. If the drive motor pulley spins freely, check again for resistance when rotating the spin basket with the drive belt removed. If the spin basket won't rotate freely, check for an item stuck between the spin basket and the outer tub. Remove any item found. If you find no item caught between the spin basket and the outer tub, then the spin bearing seized up. You'll need to replace the appliance because the spin bearing isn't available as a replacement part.
Possible parts
Main control board, drive motor
E56 or E57
Motor inverter control board drawing too much current
Check/Repair
Overloading the appliance can cause this error. Reduce the load if overloaded. If the load is normal size, unplug the appliance and check the wire harness connections between the motor inverter control board and drive motor. Reconnect any loose wires or replace the wire harness if damaged. If the wire connections are okay, replace the motor inverter control board. If the problem continues, replace the drive motor.
Possible parts
Motor inverter control board, drive motor, wire harness
E58
Motor inverter board failure
Check/Repair
Unplug the appliance and check the wire harness connections between the motor inverter control board and drive motor. Reconnect any loose wires or replace the wire harness if damaged. If the wire connections are okay, replace the motor inverter control board.
Possible parts
Motor inverter control board, wiring harness
E59
Main control board overload
Check/Repair
Check to see if the spin basket rotates freely. If the spin basket rotates freely, unplug the appliance and replace the main control board. If you detect resistance when rotating the spin basket, unplug the appliance and remove the drive belt from the motor pulley. Spin the drive motor pulley. Replace the drive motor if the motor pulley doesn't spin freely. If the drive motor pulley spins freely, check again for resistance when rotating the spin basket with the drive belt removed. If the spin basket won't rotate freely, check for an item stuck between the spin basket and the outer tub. Remove any item found. If you find no item caught between the spin basket and the outer tub, then the spin bearing seized up. You'll need to replace the appliance because the spin bearing isn't available as a replacement part.
Possible parts
Main control board, drive motor
