Error Code: F5 E2 Difficulty: Moderate
Problem: The door is not locking properly.
How to Fix F5 E2 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Unplug the washing machine from the electrical outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Open and close the lid to ensure there are no obstructions preventing it from closing properly.
- Check the lid lock strike on the lid to make sure it is not damaged or out of place.
- Access the lid lock assembly located under the washer’s top panel.
- Inspect the wiring harness connected to the lid lock for any loose or damaged connections.
- If the wiring appears to be in good condition, the lid lock assembly (W10404050, W10238287, or W11307244) is likely faulty and needs to be replaced.
- Install the new lid lock, reassemble the washer, and plug it back in to test the door lock functionality.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
