How to Fix F7 E1 Error (Step-by-Step)

Unplug the washer from the power outlet for safety and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Turn off both hot and cold water supplies and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Carefully tilt the washer forward, resting it securely against a wall or with assistance to access the bottom panel.
Locate the shift actuator and the motor run capacitor. The actuator is a small motor with a lever, and the capacitor is a cylindrical component near the main drive motor.
Disconnect the wire harnesses from both the old shift actuator and the capacitor. Remove the screws holding them in place.
Install the new shift actuator (Part: WPW10006355) and motor run capacitor (Part: W10804665), securing them with their mounting screws.
Reconnect the wire harnesses, carefully return the washer to its upright position, and restore power and water.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
