Error Code: EC1 Difficulty: Moderate
Problem: The water fill valve is blocked.
How to Fix EC1 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Shut off the water supply to the washer and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Unplug the washer from the electrical outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Disconnect the hot and cold water hoses from the back of the machine.
- Check the small filter screens inside the water inlet valve for any debris or blockages and clean them if necessary.
- If the screens are clear, the water inlet valve itself is likely faulty and needs to be replaced.
- Remove the old valve by disconnecting the wires and hoses attached to it.
- Install the new water inlet valve, reconnect the hoses and wires, and turn the water and power back on to test.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
