How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing the rear panel or motor.

  • Reduce load size: Remove some items and run a spin-only cycle to see if the error clears.
  • Inspect drive belt: Check for wear, glazing, or slack. Replace if the belt is stretched or slipping.
  • Check tach sensor connection: Ensure the tach sensor plug on the motor is secure and wiring is intact.
  • Professional diagnosis: If E18 persists with a good belt and wiring, the tach sensor or control board may require replacement by a technician.
