How to Fix E23 Error (Step-by-Step)

Disconnect the washer from the power source and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Remove the top panel of the washer by taking out the screws at the back.
Locate the main control board, which is typically a plastic-encased circuit board with many wires connected to it.
Take a clear photo of the wire connections to the board to use as a reference.
Carefully disconnect all wire harnesses from the old control board. They have locking tabs that need to be pressed.
Remove the mounting screws holding the control board in place and install the new board.
Reconnect all wire harnesses to the new board according to your photo, replace the top panel, and restore power.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
