Possible Causes

Excessive load on one side of drum, Worn suspension shock absorbers, Faulty unbalance detection via motor tach, Loose concrete counterweight

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before internal inspection.

  • Redistribute load: Open the door and rearrange laundry evenly around the drum. Remove heavy single items and try again.
  • Check machine level: Ensure the washer is level front-to-back and side-to-side using a spirit level. Adjust feet as needed.
  • Inspect shocks: Remove rear panel and check suspension shock absorbers for oil leaks or excessive play. Replace in pairs if worn.
  • Check counterweights: Verify that concrete weights on the tub are secure and bolts are tight.

Persistent E15 with normal loads may indicate a motor tach or PCB issue requiring professional diagnosis.
