Error Code: E96 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Incompatibility between the hardware version and the appliance’s configuration.
How to Fix E96 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Ensure the washer is completely disconnected from its power source by unplugging it.
- Remove the top panel of the washing machine by taking out the retaining screws, typically found on the back or sides.
- Locate the main control board (part 5304515626). It is usually a green circuit board housed in a plastic case.
- Before disconnecting any wires, take a detailed photograph to remember where each connector goes.
- Disconnect all electrical connectors from the board. Be gentle as the plastic clips can be fragile.
- Remove the mounting screws that hold the control board’s housing in place and swap the old board for the new one.
- Reconnect all wiring based on your photo, secure the top panel, and plug the washer back in.
