Error Code: F22 Difficulty: Moderate
Problem: NTC sensor malfunction.
How to Fix F22 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Ensure the washing machine is unplugged from the power outlet.
- Access the back of the washer and locate the NTC sensor, which is usually inserted into the heating element at the base of the drum.
- Disconnect the wiring connector from the sensor and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Carefully pull the old NTC sensor out of its housing. It may be held in by a clip or a tight-fitting rubber grommet.
- Insert the new NTC sensor firmly into the same position.
- Reconnect the wiring harness to the new sensor and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Reassemble any panels that were removed, plug the washer back in, and run a wash cycle to check if the error is cleared.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
