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

Unplug the washing machine from the electrical outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Leave the washer unplugged for at least five minutes. This allows the internal computer (control board) to fully discharge and reset itself.
Plug the washer back into the power outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Select a new wash cycle of your choice and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Press the ‘Start’ button to begin the new cycle and confirm the reset was successful.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
Check for simple blockages (lint screen, drain path, or filter) and clean anything you find.

Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
