How to Fix E14 Error (Step-by-Step)

Unplug the washer from the wall outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Remove the screws from the top panel of the washer, usually located at the back, and slide the panel off.
Locate the reed switch, which is a small magnetic switch typically found near the dispenser drawer housing.
Disconnect the wire connector attached to the reed switch and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Remove the old reed switch, which may be held by a clip or a single screw.
Install the new reed switch, reconnect its wire connector, and ensure it is secure.
