How to Fix CE Error

This error indicates a dangerous over-current in the motor circuit. Unplug the washer immediately.
Access the motor at the bottom or rear of the machine.
Carefully inspect the motor wiring harness for any pinched, frayed, or shorted wires. Check that the connection is secure.
If the wiring looks good, the motor stator may have a short circuit and needs to be replaced.
In rare cases, the main control board could be causing the error. This is usually the last part to replace if the wiring and motor are good.
