How to Fix F5 E2 Error (Step-by-Step)

  1. Disconnect the washer from its power source by unplugging it from the wall outlet.
  2. Check for any clothes or foreign objects that might be obstructing the lid and preventing it from closing completely. Remove any obstructions.
  3. 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.
  4. If the path is clear, the issue is likely the lid lock assembly itself. Access the assembly by lifting the main top panel.
  5. Disconnect the wiring from the old lid lock and remove the screws securing it to the washer’s chassis.
  6. Mount the new lid lock assembly (part W10404050, W10238287, or W11307244) and fasten it with the screws.
  7. Plug the wire harness into the new assembly, secure the main top, and restore power to the washer.
  8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
