How to Fix HO SE Error (Step-by-Step)
- Turn off the hot and cold water faucets located behind the washing machine.
- For safety, unplug the washer’s power cord from the wall outlet.
- Place a towel on the floor to catch any residual water and unscrew the two water inlet hoses from the back of the machine.
- Identify the hot and cold water inlets on the washer. They are usually color-coded, with red for hot and blue for cold.
- Reconnect the hose coming from your home’s hot water supply to the red (hot) inlet on the washer.
- Connect the hose from your home’s cold water supply to the blue (cold) inlet on the washer.
- Turn both water faucets back on, check for any leaks at the connections, and then plug the washer back into the power outlet.
