How to Fix F7E5 Error (Step-by-Step)

Disconnect the washer from the electrical outlet to ensure your safety.
Shut off the hot and cold water faucets that supply the washing machine.
Lean the washer back against a wall to get access to the components underneath.
Find the shifter/actuator, which is a small motor assembly mounted to the bottom of the wash tub.
Unplug the electrical connector from the actuator and remove the mounting screws.
Swap the old actuator with the new one, making sure to secure it with the screws and reconnect the wiring.
Carefully set the washer upright, reconnect the power and water, and test its operation.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
