⚠️ Safety Warning: Appliance repair involves electricity, gas, and moving parts. Always disconnect power before working on any appliance.
Error Code: EH2 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: The power supply voltage is too high (higher than ~270V for more than 5 seconds).
How to Fix EH2 Error (Step-by-Step)
- UNPLUG THE WASHER: Before any inspection, disconnect the washing machine from the power outlet to prevent electrical shock.
- TEST THE OUTLET VOLTAGE: This error indicates high voltage from the power supply. Use a multimeter to test the wall outlet. A standard US outlet should read between 110V and 125V. If the reading is significantly higher (e.g., above 130V), the issue is with your home’s electrical supply, not the washer.
- CONTACT AN ELECTRICIAN: If the outlet voltage is too high, do not proceed. Contact a qualified electrician to diagnose and repair the electrical wiring in your home. Do not plug the washer back into that outlet.
- INSPECT THE POWER CORD: If the outlet voltage is normal, examine the entire length of the washer’s power cord for any signs of damage, such as fraying, melting, or burn marks. A damaged cord can cause electrical issues and needs to be replaced.
- ACCESS AND INSPECT THE MAIN CONTROL BOARD: With the washer still unplugged, remove the top panel to access the main control board. Look for any visible signs of damage on the board, such as burn marks, blackened components, or loose wire connections.
- PROFESSIONAL REPLACEMENT REQUIRED: Replacing the main control board is a complex task that requires technical expertise. Due to the risk of electrical damage and personal injury, this repair should only be performed by a certified appliance service.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
