How to Fix F34 Error (Step-by-Step)

Press the ‘Power’ or ‘Cancel’ button to stop the Clean Washer cycle.
Wait a few moments for the machine to drain and the lid to unlock.
Open the washer lid and remove any items, such as clothing, that were left inside the drum.
The Clean Washer cycle is designed to run with an empty drum to be effective.
Close the lid securely and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Select the ‘Clean Washer’ cycle again and press ‘Start’ to run the cycle without any items inside.
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.
