Error Code: F7E4 Difficulty: Hard

Problem: Shifter error or basket speed sensor error.

How to Fix F7E4 Error (Step-by-Step)

Unplug the washer from the wall outlet to cut off the power supply.
Turn off the water faucets connected to the back of the washer.
Tilt the machine backward to get a clear view of the components on the bottom.
Locate the shift actuator and the basket speed sensor. They are typically near the motor and transmission.
Inspect the wiring to both the actuator and the sensor. Look for any loose plugs, frayed wires, or signs of corrosion.
Ensure the actuator lever is not stuck or broken. If the visual inspection does not reveal any obvious issues, the problem is likely with the control board or the motor itself, which will require professional testing.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
