Possible Causes

Root causes behind this error

• Loose or corroded electrical connections between control board and motor • Faulty main control board or user interface board • Damaged wire harnesses or connectors from power surge or moisture • 120V power supply fluctuations affecting control board function • Failed door/lid latch switch preventing cycle recognition • Water level sensor malfunction preventing proper cycle progression • Overloaded wash cycle causing excessive motor draw that triggers safety shutdown • Defective motor or motor connection with inadequate voltage supply

Safety Checks You Can Do

Steps you can try at home safely

• Check that your home's circuit breaker for the washer is in the ON position; if tripped, switch it OFF then ON again • Verify the washer door or lid closes completely and latches fully with an audible click • Confirm both hot and cold water supply valves behind the washer are fully open (turn counterclockwise) • Inspect the drain hose for kinks, pinches, or blockages; ensure it is not crimped • Reduce the size of your laundry load to prevent motor strain and control board overload • Review your cycle settings to ensure you selected an appropriate wash cycle for your load type • Unplug the washer or turn off the dedicated circuit breaker for 60 seconds, then restore power to reset the control board • Allow the washer to sit unpowered for at least 2 minutes before attempting to restart • Check if the error clears after a complete power cycle; if it returns, the control board likely requires professional service
