Error Code: E5F Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Motor control is continuously resetting.
How to Fix E5F Error (Step-by-Step)
- Disconnect the washer from the power outlet to ensure safety during the repair.
- Gain access to the motor control board, which is typically located low in the machine, near the drive motor.
- Check all wire connections plugged into the motor control board. Unplug and re-plug each connector to make sure they are secure.
- Inspect the wiring between the main control board and the motor control board for any signs of damage or loose connections.
- A continuously resetting motor control board is often caused by an internal failure on the board itself or due to erratic power being supplied from the main control board.
- The most common fix for this issue is to replace the motor control board.
- Carefully disconnect the wiring from the old board and install the new one, making sure every connection is in the correct place.
- Reassemble the washer’s panels, restore power, and check if the error is cleared.
