Error Code: F13 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Bad EEPROM Identification/Checksum error.
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.
