Error Code: F3 E2 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Inlet Water Temperature Fault
How to Fix F3 E2 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Turn off the water supply to the washer and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Unplug the washer from the power outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Access the back of the washer to locate the water inlet valve and the attached temperature sensor.
- Disconnect the wiring harness from the temperature sensor (WPW10384183 or W11208385).
- Using a multimeter, test the resistance of the thermistor. It should read approximately 10,000 ohms at room temperature.
- If the reading is significantly different or open, the sensor needs to be replaced.
- Replace the temperature sensor, reconnect the wiring, turn on the water supply, and plug the washer back in to test.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
