⚠️ Safety Warning: Appliance repair involves electricity, gas, and moving parts. Always disconnect power before working on any appliance.
Error Code: F4 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: The washer is not advancing through its cycles.
How to Fix F4 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Perform a Hard Reset: Unplug the washer from the wall outlet or switch it off at the circuit breaker. Leave it powered down for at least 10 minutes to allow the main control board to fully reset.
- Restore Power and Clear Display: Plug the washer back in or turn the circuit breaker on. Press the ‘Cancel’ or ‘Power’ button to clear the F4 code from the screen.
- Enter Diagnostic Mode: To check for more specific internal errors, press and hold the ‘Cancel’ button and the button immediately to its left at the same time for about 5-10 seconds. The display should change or the lights will begin to flash, indicating you are in check mode.
- Exit and Run a Test Cycle: Press the ‘Cancel’ or ‘Power’ button again to exit the check mode. Select a short, simple cycle like ‘Rinse & Spin’ and press ‘Start’ to see if the washer completes the cycle without the error returning.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
- Check for simple blockages (lint screen, drain path, or filter) and clean anything you find.
- Make sure all doors, lids, and hoses are fully closed and seated correctly.
