Error Code: F5 Difficulty: Easy
Problem: A keypad problem has been detected.
How to Fix F5 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Press the ‘Cancel’ button twice to attempt to clear the error code.
- Unplug the washing machine from the power source for at least 5 minutes to perform a hard reset.
- While unplugged, gently wipe the surface of the keypad and control panel with a soft, dry cloth to remove any moisture or residue that might be causing a button to stick.
- For more stubborn residue, you can use a cloth lightly dampened with water or a mild cleaner. Ensure the panel is completely dry before restoring power.
- Plug the washer back in and try to start a new cycle.
- 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.
