How to Fix vS Error

Unplug the washer from the power outlet.
The vibration sensor is typically mounted on the side of the outer tub. You will need to remove the front or rear panel to access it.
Check the wire harness connection to the sensor. Unplug it and plug it back in to ensure it’s secure.
If the connection is good, the sensor itself has likely failed.
Unbolt the old sensor, install the new one, and reconnect the wiring.
Reassemble the panel and run a calibration cycle.
