How to Fix E32 Error (Step-by-Step)

Pause the wash cycle and open the door and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Redistribute the laundry inside the drum more evenly. Avoid washing single, heavy items.
Ensure the load is not too small or too large for the machine’s capacity.
Check that the washing machine is level on the floor. Adjust the feet if necessary to prevent rocking.
Close the door and resume the cycle. The machine should attempt to rebalance the load.
If the error persists, stop the cycle, remove some items if overloaded, or add a few towels if underloaded to help with balance.
Restart the cycle from the beginning and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

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