How to Fix F63 Error (Step-by-Step)

Turn off the circuit breaker for the washer and unplug it from the wall for safety.
Remove the top panel of the washing machine by unscrewing the screws at the back.
Locate the main control board, which is typically housed in a plastic casing.
Take a photo of the wire connections to the control board to ensure you reconnect them correctly. Carefully disconnect all the wiring harnesses.
Remove the screws or release the tabs holding the control board in place and carefully remove the old board.
Install the new control board, making sure it is securely mounted. Reconnect all the wiring harnesses according to your photo.
Replace the top panel and screw it back into place. Restore power to the washer and run a check cycle to check if the software error is resolved.
