How to fix Electrolux washer error F6

Start with the safest checks and work from simple to technical.

  1. 1

    1. Unplug the washer from the wall outlet or turn off the circuit breaker. Wait for at least 5 minutes to allow any stored electrical charge to dissipate completely.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    2. Remove the top panel of the washer by unscrewing the screws holding it in place, typically located at the back or sides of the machine.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    3. Locate the main control board, which is usually a green circuit board housed in a plastic case. Carefully inspect all the wire harnesses and connectors attached to the board for any signs of loose connections, corrosion, or damage.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    4. If all connections are secure, the control board itself likely needs replacement. One by one, disconnect each wire connector from the old board, taking a photo beforehand for reference. Remove the screws or clips holding the board in its housing and install the new main control board.

    Step 5

    5. Carefully reconnect all wire harnesses to the new board, referencing the photo you took to ensure they are in the correct positions. Secure the new board in its housing.

  6. 6

    Step 6

    6. Before reassembling, also inspect the door lock assembly. Check its wiring and ensure the mechanism isn't physically damaged. If it appears faulty, it should also be replaced by disconnecting its wiring and removing its mounting screws.

  7. 7

    Step 7
