⚠️ Safety Warning: Appliance repair involves electricity, gas, and moving parts. Always disconnect power before working on any appliance.
Error Code: F5 E2 Difficulty: Moderate
Problem: The door is not locking properly.
How to Fix F5 E2 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Disconnect the washer from its power source by unplugging it from the wall outlet.
- Check for any clothes or foreign objects that might be obstructing the lid and preventing it from closing completely. Remove any obstructions.
- Inspect the lid strike (the plastic piece on the lid that goes into the lock) for damage. If it’s broken, it will need to be replaced.
- If the path is clear, the issue is likely the lid lock assembly itself. Access the assembly by lifting the main top panel.
- Disconnect the wiring from the old lid lock and remove the screws securing it to the washer’s chassis.
- Mount the new lid lock assembly (part W10404050, W10238287, or W11307244) and fasten it with the screws.
- Plug the wire harness into the new assembly, secure the main top, and restore power to the washer.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
