Error Code: EC4 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Current sensor alarm.
How to Fix EC4 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Unplug the washer from the wall outlet and turn off both hot and cold water supply valves.
- Remove the screws holding the top panel of the washer in place, then slide the panel off to expose the internal components.
- Locate the main control board, which is typically a plastic-encased circuit board with numerous wires connected to it.
- Take a clear photo of the wire connections on the old board to use as a reference for installation.
- Carefully disconnect all wire harnesses from the old control board. Most connectors have a small locking tab that needs to be pressed to release.
- Remove the mounting screws or release the clips holding the old control board in its housing and lift it out.
- Position the new control board in the same location and secure it with the mounting screws or clips.
- Reconnect all the wire harnesses to the new board, referring to the photo you took earlier to ensure each connector goes to the correct terminal.
