How to Fix RES Error (Step-by-Step)

The ‘RES’ code means the washer is in a reset state, often after a power interruption or a cancelled cycle.
This is not an error, but an informational message and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
To clear the ‘RES’ code, you typically need to select a new wash cycle.
Turn the cycle selector knob to your desired wash cycle.
Add any options you want, such as temperature or spin speed.
Press the ‘Start’ button to begin the new cycle. The ‘RES’ message should disappear.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
