Error Code: E60 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Heating Error – Washer not heating water or taking too long to heat.
How to Fix E60 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Unplug the washer and turn off the water supply and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Drain any water from the tub. You may need to use the drain pump filter or a siphon.
- Locate the heating element at the bottom of the outer tub. It is often accessible from the front or back of the machine by removing a lower panel.
- Disconnect the wires from the heating element. Use a multimeter set to continuity or resistance (ohms) to test the element. A reading of infinity indicates the element is broken and needs replacement.
- Locate the water temperature sensor, known as a thermistor, which is usually mounted near the heating element. Test its resistance with a multimeter; if it shows an open or shorted circuit, it must be replaced.
- If both the element and thermistor test correctly, inspect the wiring between these components and the main control board for any breaks or damage.
- If all other components are functional, the relay that controls the heating circuit on the main control board has failed, and the entire board will need to be replaced.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
