Error Code: SE Difficulty: Moderate
Problem: Sensor error.
How to Fix SE Error (Step-by-Step)
- Unplug the washing machine from the power outlet for safety.
- Depending on the specific sensor, you may need to remove the top or back panel of the washer by unscrewing it.
- Locate the faulty sensor. This could be a pressure sensor (connected to the tub via a small hose) or a temperature sensor (mounted on the tub or heating element).
- Inspect the wires and the plastic connector attached to the sensor. Ensure the connection is tight and that there are no visible signs of damage or corrosion on the wires.
- Disconnect the wire harness from the old sensor. If it’s a pressure sensor, also detach the air hose.
- Remove the old sensor from its mounting. It may be held by a clip or a screw.
- Install the new sensor, reconnect the wire harness and air hose (if applicable), and reassemble the washer’s panel before restoring power.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
