Error Code: E9E Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Communication error between the main control board and the user interface.
How to Fix E9E Error (Step-by-Step)
- Disconnect the washer from power by unplugging it from the wall outlet to ensure safety.
- To access the user interface board, you will typically need to remove the top panel of the washer. Locate and remove the screws at the back or sides holding the top panel in place, then slide the panel off.
- Carefully detach the control panel housing. This may involve removing the detergent dispenser drawer and then unscrewing the screws that secure the control panel console to the washer’s frame.
- Take a photo of the wire connections to the old user interface board for reference. Gently disconnect all wire harnesses attached to the board. Remove the screws holding the old board in place and lift it out.
- Position the new user interface board in the control panel, aligning it with the mounting holes. Secure it with the screws you removed from the old board.
- Reconnect the wire harnesses to the new board, using the photo you took as a guide to ensure each connector goes to the correct location.
- Reassemble the washer by securing the control panel console, reinstalling the top panel, and putting the detergent dispenser back in. Plug the washer back in and run a test cycle to confirm the error is resolved.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
