How to Fix FANFRESH® Error (Step-by-Step)

  1. This is a feature, not an error. The FanFresh® light indicates the option is active, tumbling clothes after a cycle to keep them fresh. To stop it, simply press the Power or Cancel button.
  2. If this light appears without the option being selected, it may indicate a software glitch.
  3. Try resetting the machine by unplugging it from the power outlet for five minutes.
  4. Plug the washer back in and start a new cycle to see if the issue is resolved.
  5. A persistent, incorrect light could signal a deeper issue with the main control board or the drive motor.
  6. A service would need to test these components for electrical faults.
  7. Replacing either the control board or the main drive motor is a complex repair that involves significant disassembly of the appliance.
  8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
