How to Fix C6 Error

This is not an error code, but an information code indicating the washer is in calibration mode.
Calibration mode is a necessary process that allows the washer to learn the weight of the drum and optimize spin performance. It should be run after installation or any significant repair.
Do not interrupt the process. Allow the washer to complete the calibration cycle, which typically takes a few minutes. The drum will rotate back and forth at various speeds.
Once complete, the display will show ‘End’ or return to a normal state, and the washer will be ready for regular use.

If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
