Possible Causes
Loose communication harness between main control board and inverter board, Oxidized or damaged connectors, Faulty inverter board, Defective main control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before removing the top or rear panels. Electronic boards are sensitive to static and moisture.
- 1. Power reset: Unplug the washer for at least 10 minutes to discharge capacitors, then plug back in and try a cycle. Sometimes transient errors clear.
- 2. Access control boards: Remove the top cover. Locate the main control board (usually behind the control panel) and the motor inverter board (often near the motor or side panel).
- 3. Check wiring harness: Identify the multi-wire communication cable between the boards. Ensure both ends are fully seated. Look for bent pins, corrosion, or damaged insulation.
- 4. Inspect boards visually: Look for burnt components, bulging capacitors, or scorch marks on either PCB. If present, the affected board should be replaced.
- 5. Professional service: If E10 persists after reseating connectors and there is no visible damage, board-level diagnosis is required. Replacement of the inverter or main PCB should be done with the correct Casarte part number.
