Problem: System error (model-specific)

How to Fix F0E8 Error

1. UNPLUG THE WASHER. This error code can indicate a problem with the drain pump on certain models.
2. First, check the drain pump filter for clogs. It’s usually behind a small access door on the bottom front of the washer. Have a shallow pan and towel ready for residual water.
3. If the filter is clear, the drain pump itself may have failed or be jammed. Access the pump from the bottom or by removing the front panel.
4. Check if the impeller can be turned by hand (with power off). If it’s seized or makes a grinding noise, replace the pump.

Problem: Motor control error or motor drive module fault

How to Fix F1E2 Error

1. UNPLUG THE WASHER. This is a critical error indicating a fault in the Motor Control Unit (MCU).
2. The MCU is located at the bottom of the washer, attached near the drive motor. You will need to tilt the washer back or lay it on its front (on protective blankets) to access the bottom panel.
3. Check all wire harness connections to the MCU and the motor for a secure fit. Look for any signs of damage or burnt components.
4. If all wiring is intact, the MCU has failed and must be replaced. Disconnect the harnesses, remove the mounting screws, and swap the board.

Problem: Communication loss between CCU and UI

How to Fix F2E2 Error

1. UNPLUG THE WASHER. This indicates a communication failure between the main control board (CCU) and the user interface (UI) board.
2. Access the control area by removing the top panel or console. Locate both boards.
3. Carefully inspect the ribbon cable and any other wiring that connects the two boards. Reseat the connectors firmly at both ends.
4. If the wiring is intact and the error persists, one of the two boards has failed. It can be difficult to determine which one without specialized tools, but the UI board is often the easier and cheaper part to replace first.

Problem: Factory Default; washer reset to factory settings

How to Fix Fd Error

1. This code can indicate the machine has reset to ‘Factory Defaults’, but it is often linked to a door lock communication issue.
2. First, try a hard reset by unplugging the washer for 5 minutes.
3. If the code returns, the door lock assembly is the likely culprit. UNPLUG THE WASHER.
4. Access the lock by removing the top console (top-loader) or peeling back the door boot (front-loader). Disconnect the wiring, remove the old lock, and install the new one.

How to Fix HC Error

1. This code indicates the hot and cold water supply hoses are reversed.
2. Shut off the water supply faucets behind the washer.

4. Swap the hoses to their correct positions, tighten them securely, and turn the water faucets back on completely.
