Washer displays F71 and may not respond to button presses

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed user interface board, loose console ribbon cable, moisture in console, main control communication fault

Safety first: Unplug the washer before opening the console.

Step-by-step checks:

1. Dry console: If the console has been exposed to steam or spills, allow it to dry completely.
2. Reseat ribbon cable: Remove the console and disconnect/reconnect the ribbon cable between the UI and CCU.
3. Inspect UI board: Look for corrosion or burnt components. Replace the console/UI board if damaged.

When to call a technician: If F71 persists with a new UI, the CCU may also be faulty.
