Error Code: EB3 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: The supply voltage is too low.
How to Fix EB3 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Unplug the washing machine from the electrical outlet to ensure safety.
- Using a multimeter, test the wall outlet to confirm it is providing the correct voltage (typically 120V). If the outlet is faulty, address that issue first.
- If the outlet’s voltage is correct, the main control board is the likely failure point. To access it, remove the screws holding the top panel of the washer and slide the panel off.
- Before disconnecting anything, take a clear photo of the control board and its wire connections for reference.
- Carefully disconnect all wire harnesses attached to the main control board. Most have small locking tabs that need to be pressed to release the connector.
- Remove the screws or release the plastic clips that secure the old control board to the washer frame and lift it out.
- Install the new main control board, ensuring it is properly seated and secured with its mounting screws or clips.
- Reconnect all the wire harnesses to the new board, using the photo you took earlier to ensure each connector goes to the correct location.
