Error Code: F4E1 Difficulty: Easy
Problem: A model-specific internal washer fault.
How to Fix F4E1 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Press the ‘Stop’ or ‘Cancel’ button twice on the control panel to attempt to clear the fault.
- Unplug the washer from the wall outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Wait for a minimum of 5 minutes. This allows the internal computer and its capacitors to fully discharge and reset.
- Plug the power cord securely back into the outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Firmly open and close the washer lid or door to ensure the lid lock switch is engaged.
- Start a new cycle to see if the internal fault has cleared.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
