How to Fix F13 Error (Step-by-Step) Power down the washer completely by unplugging it from the electrical outlet. Remove the top access panel to expose the internal electronics. Locate the main control board (often called the EEPROM board). Before disconnecting anything, label the wire harnesses or take a detailed picture to ensure they are reconnected correctly. Disconnect all harnesses from the board and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle. Unmount the old board and install the new replacement board (Part #137440407). Reattach all wire harnesses, secure the top panel, and plug the washer in to run a check or test cycle. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on. Still Not Working? If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.

If the code comes back

Do not keep replacing parts based only on the code. Repeat the safe checks above. If the fault remains, stop and arrange qualified service rather than ordering from the code alone.

What may be causing it?

  • The door is not fully closed or latched
