Problem: Motor or motor control board fault
How to Fix F7E2 Error
- Unplug the washer and lean it back against a wall (secure the lid with tape).
- Remove the pulley cover (plastic guard) underneath the washer.
- Locate the capacitor (cylindrical part near the motor) and inspect for bulging/leaking.
- Disconnect the two wires and replace the capacitor first.
- If the error persists, the motor itself may need replacement (requires removing the belt and motor mounting bolts).
Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
