How to Fix F7EC Error (Step-by-Step)
- Press the ‘Pause’ or ‘Cancel’ button to halt the wash cycle.
- Open the washer lid and observe the load. Clothes should be loosely packed and not crammed in.

- Redistribute the remaining clothes evenly around the wash plate to ensure the load is balanced.
- Close the lid securely and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.

- For future loads, avoid washing single heavy items and ensure the washer is not filled more than three-quarters full.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
