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

Recognize ‘ERR’ as a general electronic error, often caused by a temporary communication glitch in the control board.
First, try to clear the code by pressing the ‘Cancel’ or ‘Power’ button to end the current cycle attempt.
Unplug the washing machine’s power cord directly from the wall outlet.
Leave the washer completely without power for at least 5 minutes. This allows the internal electronics to fully discharge and reset.
Plug the power cord securely back into the wall outlet.
Power the machine on and attempt to start a new cycle to confirm the error is cleared.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

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