How to Fix E47 Error (Step-by-Step)

Disconnect the washer from the electrical outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Open the washer door and locate the flexible rubber boot. Find the spring clamp that holds it to the front panel.
Carefully pry off the spring clamp and peel the boot away from the door opening, exposing the door lock assembly.
Remove the screws that attach the door lock to the washer’s chassis.
Pull the lock assembly out and disconnect the electrical plug attached to it.
Attach the electrical plug to the new door lock assembly.
Screw the new assembly into place, then carefully work the rubber boot and spring clamp back into their original positions.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
