Error Code: F9 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Hot and cold water hoses are inverted.
How to Fix F9 Error (Step-by-Step)
- First, unplug the washer from the electrical outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Check the hot and cold water inlet hoses at the back of the machine to ensure they are connected to the correct faucets. The hose for hot water should be connected to the hot water tap, and the cold to the cold.
- If the hoses are correct, the issue may be with the drive motor. This is a more complex repair.
- To access the drive motor, you will likely need to remove the back panel of the washer.
- The drive motor is located at the bottom of the tub. Inspect it for any visible signs of damage or loose connections.
- If you have a multimeter, you can test the motor for continuity. A lack of continuity indicates a faulty motor that needs replacement.
- Replacing the drive motor involves disconnecting it from the power supply, removing the belt, and unbolting it from the washer frame.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
